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.

And they actually DO what you tell them? I have wilful sims, take my eyes off them for a second and they clear their queue and go do something that is not what I told them to do. ;)

I usually have a large family of Sims but put all my focus on my favourite Sim. All the others save their aspiration points to buy moodlet solvers for my fave so I can use her aspiration points to buy traits :smiley:

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.
