This is when I want to throw the game in the bin

I nearly always use the make happy cheat to avoid eating, as it does take forever and always, and my Sims can be starving, too (full red bar) and yet they talk or do anything but take a single bite of their food! I usually take, on average, four Sims at a time through Uni. They all live in the same dorm so I can control them. Yes, I must have my way. No, you can't lollygag in the shower for a whole hour you have class in thirty minutes!
