My biggest pet peeve is the absolutely cluttered chat menu. Even without extra mod interactions there is just so much useless stuff, it takes forever to find anything quickly without having to pause and stack interactions in a row. And then sim just suddenly cancles the interaction and I have to go through the super cluttered menu again :neutral:

Another thing that I noticed lately, and I am not sure if it is because of some mod, or why it happens, but for some reason all of my characters want to do is being mean to others, even if they are not angry, they just keep insulting and yelling at people when I let them chat unsupervised... I even downloaded a mod that should help with that, but they still want to be mean to everyone they meet, even friends and family... Just why :D

The big thing that annoys me about menu clutter is all the little interactions that pile up over packs and skills and the like that could probably be placed under a category, but are just a miscellaneous interaction for some reason. For example, Sing Song is its own menu, but Practice Singing isn't under any menu. Practice could just be placed under a generic menu called Sing and have it also include the menus for song types (Folk, etc.)

Or another example, Acting skill's Perform Scene, Perform Scene for Tips, and Cry on Demand could all be placed under an Acting menu. Instead, they're just generically thrown in there, not even an Acting icon to make them stand out.

I don't understand why they do this so often. I get not wanting to put everything under layers of menus, but if you have to scroll through pages to find stuff that doesn't even stand out or is sorted in any distinguishable way, how is that better, ya know.
