Things you (the player) do that probably annoys your sims.

Oh, definitely pausing their lives all the time :)

Take pictures of the wall, ceiling, floor or whatever is in front of them repeatedly until they reach a good enough photography level. When they’re done taking the 5 they try to do something else, but I force them to do it again ?

"oh thats such nice moment let me just take 50 screenshots from every angle while you are at it" :joy:

For me, I think it's got to be "giving them leftovers from the same meal until it either spoils or they run out" at which time I usually try to let them make something different...and then make them eat that until it spoils lol.

Also, making new sims and then abandoning them to play with the same sims who've been in my game for three years.

How about having an ambitious Sim quit their job as soon as reached highest level (or sell skill object once they mastered it)?

Since I play rotationally, it might be that I switch to different households whenever I want to which is usually after I've played a household for a while but can be any time. I often get the idea of what sims I'll switch to while playing. I might run into another sim I haven't played in a while or not be able to remember a related sim and decide to check in and figure out what is going on with that one.

Sometimes I might keep them out when they are sleepy because I'm not ready for them to go home. I've started using sleep replacement from time to time when I want to keep playing with a tired sim at a given time. Sure, most of the time I'll eventually send them home to bed but I now use that reward if I'm in the middle of gameplay or fun for a sim or if I'm resetting their sleep schedule.

Making them woohoo with hot sims. I'm sure they are really upset about that. >:)

I don't consider pausing the game to be annoying for my sims. Time itself stops in the sims universe so they don't think or have to wait while I'm pausing. They won't even notice. At least that's how it works in my sims universe.

What might annoy my sims is eating the same dishes over and over. I also tend to interrupt them when they are doing something fun and give them annoying tasks to complete aspiration goals.

Giving them freewill but I micromanage everything.

He's having to do the repairs in his TLC apartment himself because he autonomously had a mean interaction with the landlord earlier and I didn't stop him. Landlord won't come now when called which annoys both my sim and me.
