do i rly need to play with 0 autonomy to be able to cancel my sims actions?? sometimes even if i cancel they just do it. i play with full autonomy but i think not being able to cancel their actions is dumb. autonomy is my sim taking care of itself, not ignoring my input as the player. and not cuz my sims wants or needs to do it but cuz the game takes a while to process it. then i have to see my sims die of cold, die for the sun, or doing things like entering on an occupied bathroom, being mean to their best friend or being late to work.

I always play with full autonomy. If I want to cancel their actions I hit pause and then do it.

it's what i do and sometimes it works, this happens because of the simulation lag. but when the place for the action is close to my sim (as in a direct interaction) i have to reset them. there's a small frame of time where i should be able to cancel but since the time to process it is longer than the waiting for the action, it registers.

I hate that the styled outfits in CAS have make up included since not all make up looks good on every skin tone or sim. I like the styled outfits category for when I do quick townie makeovers or I want to create some new sims but don't want to spend a million hours hand picking their outfits. I get constantly frustrated by how awful the make up included with them is though, and I wish that they could just leave make up out of that feature. It's a small complaint, but one that continually annoys me

Minor pet peeve is that time only applies to your household! I hate when children and teens hang out at community lots during school hours or when you want to invite someone over, they're always available, even when they should be at work. And when you need repairs they'll come over even in the middle of the night!

I’ve been putting 8 sims through uni. I’m on their final term. They are separated into two households of 4 each, taking 4 classes each and each started on a different day so they all graduate separately (otherwise I won’t get their portraits). I’ve played 21 of the 24 days straight of just uni... I loaded up my game and exited because I don’t have it in me to keep going today... but 3 more days and they (we) will be free!!!

Let's use this as a thread to vent and let it out, but still keep is somewhat pg lol.

The kids should take their projects back to school when completed. Tired of having to drag to sell or sell in buy mode :/

OMG yes! That is so annoying sometimes!

Right now there are so many glitches. Not game stopping, but sims swimming through floors, or pausing for what seems forever before completing tasks... and some of them happen one time and are gone when I log in again but could things just please work right!

Yes, pausing forever and a day. I can't say how many times I quit to repair thinking it's frozen before I realized they were just being annoying.And dropping Q's. And aging up not working with cake, but if it does work they go outside all the way around the house to age up. Insert screen here.

I've said this in another post, but it's still one of my pet peeves.

I HATE WHEN I SPEND EONS IN CAS CREATING A SIM (and all their multiple outfits) AND THEN REALIZING I FORGOT TO HIT THE OCCULT BUTTON.
Sure, I could just play the game and cheat, but I'd rather not...

Sims should have unique personalities--they don't.

Pretty sure my sims' dryer is bugged. I'll have them put the laundry in and dry it. It beeps, so I think it's done. I hover and see it's still damp, so I dry it again. Dryer breaks, I replace it, and dry the laundry again. It beeps, I think it's finally done, but it still didn't dry all the way. I dry it again, and it finally dries all the way but it's not clean anymore, it's used. This used to happen every now and then but not all the time. Now it's happening a lot more, pretty much every time I do laundry. I like doing laundry and don't want to stop but I might have to if this continues.

Just learned parents can ride bikes but grade school children can't, this bothers me.
And we need more toys for grade school children. Most of them are for toddlers.

I'm sad I have to use CC to get what I want in the game. Why does EA think all women's jeans have to look like hiphuggers straight out of 1973???? Why so many belly baring tops? I always play my simself, and I do not dress like that. I have to go to CC to find the kind of modest clothes I wear for her to have a varied wardrobe.

The pants for men are the worst!
