What odd habits do you have when playing? I don't mind playing slob sims but I still force them to wash their hands every single time they use the bathroom. I thought one of my non-slob sims left the bathroom without washing his hands (when in fact he was going downstairs to wash his hands in the kitchen because logic) and it gave me a literal panic attack, my chest got tight and I felt like I was going to scream (I contained myself, don't worry). I have absolutely no reason to care so much about what these virtual people do with themselves but yeah, cannot handle dirty handed sims. Like, at. ALL.

I can't use the "OBLITERATE" option in apartments with mice/rats because mouse traps are just so inhumane. I had pet rats some years ago and they were the most special little girls I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I know it's just a video game and no real rats/mice are being harmed, but... I just can't. Why can't the solution be to board up the hole with the rodents eventually chewing through it? Why a mouse trap? :(

Sometimes I play in first person mode. Though I often regret it. ._.

I cannot stand letting my sims make their own choices! They are all terrible decision makers. I constantly hit pause and line up a huge amount of tasks in the queue and shuffle through ALL of my sims and do the same. Then I press play and shuffle through the sims watching very closely. I freak out at the ones who disobey.

I play and or start to play wayyy too many evil sims that are criminals or scientists or some combo. They usually have some plan to gain riches or take over the world through genetics (especially if alien) or use other manipulation tactics to get their way. I do play other ways (I swear) but it's like my fall back for cackles. Send help!

It seemed annoying to me and it felt like they took too long doing it anyway lol so they haven’t been washing their hands in my game for years now. So glad I'm not alone! There are NO sinks in any of the houses I play. 23 saves with at 3-12 families each, that is a lot of houses. With no sinks. Washing hands is a waste of time (same as letting them brush their teeth), and it hardly does much for hygiene at all. I usually send them to the shower after toilet anyway. So its even more a waste of time. Sim days are short enough.

@MaggieMarley never rotating the camera and only playing from the front view of the house, like a dollhouse....seems incredibly hard to me. i always play from a tilted above view

I always delete klepto neighbors and don't bother socializing with sims after finding out they have the trait. :D

My Sims must wash their hands after using the toilet or cleaning the toddler pot, unless they're on their way to the shower. It gives them a hygiene boost, and who doesn't need that? I never let them brush their teeth, however, because it makes them 'confident' and that's rarely the mood I want.

Sometimes, my Style Influencer sets wacky or inappropriate Trends, just to get even at annoying neighbors. Here are 2 out of 3 of the Calientes sporting the season's hottest fashion trend - the Hot Dog Costume. One is sensibly immune to the irrationalities of fashion.

A tad odd habit: creating huge family trees with townies because they look neat. bonus points whenever the family tree includes bastard kids from affairs, which these townies are buck wild for.

Even more odd habit: letting my sims live on their own. like, sometimes I get the urge to create a family, move them in, and let them live in the background of my laptop as I do other things on the internet for hours. sometimes they turn out way better than my fully influenced sims!

@Nindigo Oh, gosh. That's hilarious! I never noticed that with Caleb before.

My confession: I harbor an irrational fear that our Google Home is going to somehow autonomously contact child services after I've yelled such things during my game as, "You STUPID child! WHY are you doing that? You know what? I don't care that you're hungry or tired! Play with the blocks and learn your shapes RIGHT NOW!"

My odd habit: I like using the re-traiting potion as an actual item the Sims are aware of in the game. Specifically, my evil Sims love to "gift" it to non-evil Sims in an attempt to get them to join the dark side. (If someone gifts you a re-traiting potion, you obviously drink it. To not do so would be rude.)

I killed Makoa’s wife so my sim could marry him. Makoa seemed too family oriented to divorce her, so I made her disappear

Lol.... I do this most of the time too, but I do find it kind of cute when I don’t do that, and see them kiss each or something.... I do hate them heading to the computer though especially when they need to use the restroom or eat.
