Sometimes I notice that my sims have some incredibly strange things that they're just OBSESSED with doing. Like my sim was on a date and both her and her boyfriend went and got a glass of water from the bathroom...five different times. Or like how sometimes my sims stop everything to do the Cool thing is cool thing with the bubble blower. Or how the sims, when in their old house, were SO obsessed with the dang barbecue that I intentionally didn't put it in their new house.What are some of your sims weird habits? Why do you think they do it? Is there an actual reason?And most importantly...why on earth did they both get water...five seperate times??

I use the MC Command Center to stop those annoying actions from happening. I just keep getting repeated annoying whims like Give out an apartment key every 30 seconds.

I should turn them off, too. I know how, and I have MCCC, it just never occured to me. Some of them amuse me a little, but like...five glasses of water is a bit much. It kind of felt like she was trying to fill her thirst for blood with several glasses of water.

I mean I'm the sort that likes these random habits use it for story, like maybe they needed water because they were nervous sometimes my mouth gets a little dry when I'm nervous ha. Then there are other things like I have a house where my teen likes to make popcorn but when she's hungry she won't eat that she eats what her father makes in fact no one eats popcorn I like to listen to the radio and usually they all choose to dance together I think it's sweet.Though for restaurants when you want them sit still sometimes just turning off free will and keeping the conversation going at the table stops sims from getting up at all.

One of my sims (politician, he is like the Mayor) loves walking all over town, in every town!!! Whenever you play in a public area, he is there walking around and greeting people (I like to imagine that's him doing his job) but the interesting thing is that his teen son is the SAME!! always walking around everywhere.Funny thing is that I have 194 sims in my game (between households and townies) yet the game keeps sending the same 4-5 to every venue.

I got used to Good and Evil sims being obsessed with graves, but for some reason in my current save, the youngest son is similarly obsessed, even though he doesn't have either of those traits. And he didn't start doing it until after he turned into a vampire. I guess he wants me to give him Eternal Sadness once he's a grandmaster.

It got to the stage where my sims were constantly crying at graves, so I made a doorless room to keep them in. The ghosts still come and go—the crying sims, not so much. I do add good to my sims a lot, though. But if I remember correctly, I started locking away the urns because ALL my dang sims were mourning 24/7, even the ones without good or evil.

What vexes me is when I queue up a task for my Sim to do and she ignores it to do something else, like sit at her diningroom table and drink something from their bar. I guess she needs to fortify herself before she cleans the potty chair? :open_mouth:

My sims are ALWAYS going to dance when the stereo is on. Like oh I want you to research stocks before you go into work? Might as well go dance at the stereo. I need up getting rid of one of my stereos and I may be "losing" the other one too.
