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

-Making them wash the dishes when I could just drag them to the sink.
-Only usually letting them woohoo if a baby is required.
-Turning their tv off in mid-film.
-Turning their stereo off in mid-dance.
-NEVER letting them have a drink of water when they want one.
-And, yes, making them eat the same leftovers until it's all gone. Fish tacos for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Jumping between saves that all contain the same characters, but in different roles.

Sim A: "Hahaha, time for another company takeover that will go down in history!"
Sim B: "Honey, when you go shopping, don't forget to buy the primarily waxy potatoes, not the waxy ones."
Sim A: "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Me: "Change of plans. Today we're playing the save where you are a hard-working father of six instead of a CEO. It's the "part-time jobs only" challenge, remember?"

Also deleting saves after I've finished my goals.

My sims: "Ah, that was tough, but now we can finally enjoy our mansion!"
Me: "Aaaaand back into the dirt you go. I so loooove rags to riches challenges!"

Wow, where do I begin? Here's 4 for starters, but I know there's more

1) I make them live in horrible houses and apartments

2) I send them to my outdoor nightclubs in the middle of blizzards and thunderstorms

3) I send them to clubs where they will be stung by bees repeatedly

4) With the help of a mod that I can't mention here, I sometimes send them out in public naked

Well I think my sims could sympathise with most of the things listed here! Basically I’m forever stopping them doing what they want to do and making them do what I want them to do — though I think they have cleaner, tidier households, better diets and more varied lives as a result :)

When my sim is reading a skill book, and she wants, badly, to put it away..."nope, you're going to finish that book, I don't care how many times you get up to put it away!"

Oh, definitely pausing their lives all the time :)

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

@Simmingal What's funny is, in real life, when everybody is taking big group pictures with me in it, I'm always the person who gets antsy and whines, "we have enough pictures now don't we, can we stop"
