Stupid things your sims do

Randomly walking around the house and then doing oddball things when I give them a simple request, like "talk to so and so". It's worse when I CAN'T EVEN CANCEL what they're doing.

"Talk to so and so? SURE! Wait, let me go upstairs and get in the hot tub first. Okay, where are they? Oh, they've left the lot? Darn."

idk I'm mostly bothered about sims wearing cold weather outfits and shoes indoors :neutral:
its just wrong

Oh, man, this icks me out so much! Go to the kitchen to wash dishes, you goof!

You think that's bad? My Sims sometimes cook in there. :#

Climb out of the bed they're lying in when exhausted so that they can pass out on the floor

I know this thread's only meant to be about TS4, but that reminds me of the last time I played TS2, when Beau Broke went to sleep, then woke up 10 seconds later to whinge about how tired he was. "I know, that's what sleeping is for. So do it, meebling microwaves, it's past your bedtime. ?"

@AyKooChao But walking straight through tables and other surfaces is no problem. xD

Yep. Or sitting down on a couch that has a plate floating above it and getting it (the plate, not the couch) stuck in your arm. One of my Sims did that the other day and he didn't even care. Orange juice has some kind of forcefield-generating property, I guess. XD

Whoa, I've heard of plates getting stuck on your sims' hands but that takes the cake. xD Yeah that orange juice must be out of this world. :lol:

It's funny you should say that... there actually was cake on that plate. XD

I've got a screenshot of the Sim with the plate stuck in his arm somewhere (as well as the one I posted on the "Funny moments" thread), but I wish I could've taken it from a better angle. (Someone threw out the plate last time I played. :()

Same household, different Sim: refusing to go to work because they just have to finish those leftovers from Harvestfest, which they weren't even eating when I told them to leave. Are you seriously going to risk getting sacked over some mouldy turkey?

Even worse, I'd just switched from a different household during his work hours, so by the time he left, he was nearly seven hours late. He spent exactly three minutes at work that day. ?

When my adult Sim breaks the dollhouse, and then I have to tell my other Sim to fix it 5 times because it keeps on getting cancelled out because she wants to talk to her husband, who broke the dollhouse.

When my Sim goes to the bathroom to wash their plate.

When Sims turn on the dishwasher to clean literally ONE PLATE.

(Not exactly something stupid a Sim does, but rather something stupid that the game does) When ALL OF MY SIMS have the same sweater for their Cold Weather outfit

When I try to have a Sim splash a drink on another Sim, but the drink is solid somehow.

When my vampire Sim WON'T. GO. BACK. INSIDE. I mean, you're flippin' DYING! Come on, man!

As much as I love my sims, they do cause me to rage at them every now and again for the stupid things that they do. I made a new sim, Eleanor Hope and she is the newest sim I have made and is my new founder sim. She was at a public lot and somehow, she managed to get stuck behind the stairs and couldn't get out. Thank the lord that we can use build mode at public lots because I tried every cheat going and couldn't get her out. I had to delete the walls then rebuild them xD



I don't know how she managed this but she did, lol.

This happens in my game if I open build and buy mode while a sim is walking up or down the stairs.

My Sims: I'm both exhausted and really, really have to pee. Using the bathroom takes five minutes. Sleeping takes 8+ hours. Which will I do first...
Me: Use the bathroom, genius! The bathroom!
My Sims: Night-night (wanders to bed)
Me: That's it! I'm deleting the bathroom! You're not responsible enough to have one! You all get steel bladders or become vampires!

I just had to laugh at this...It is so true!

Edit: BTW @katrinasforest I just read your "Clanbuilding for Dummies" series on your fanfiction website. It is very entertaining.

Suddenly deciding to strike up a conversation with someone on the street when they're in their flat.

My nearly starving sims, all of whom live in households with good cooks and well stocked fridges full of excellent quality group meals, will inevitably grab a single cookie to eat every single time they are really hungry. Or, if the household has an ice cream machine (in families with kids), they will make ice cream instead of cooking or eating the healthy group meals in the fridge! Grrr!

Another pet peeve: NPC sims horning in on dates while my soulmate sims are trying to complete the Soulmate Love aspiration with gold standard dates. I had a date with one of my favourite sim couples (one of whom has the jealous trait) absolutely ruined by a pushy sim coming over and flirting with both of them. Not the first time that has happened either!

Recent LOLs/Quirks:
Going on a date at the diner. Luckily my Sims food didn’t get stolen, but their date took too long to eat and another patron decided they were hungry enough to steal his food.

Apartment noises from the Bheeda unit. Complete with love hearts. {The one that results in a towel wearing or maid outfit wearing neighbour if/when you knock}. Only, Arun is standing out by the mailbox. I have qued up my active Sim to talk to him. The both ignore the noises coming from the apartment; fair enough. When they finish, one part/side of me is thinking; “You better go check what your pregnant wife is watching on TV there buddy.” :p
