What item(s) is banned from your sims home?

The insects & worms. They are so gross.
Also, the washer & dryer. Boring.

Ice cream and popcorn machine, which is a shame, especially if you have a movie club but they just hog the thing. They don't leave them alone and eat nothing else if I let them have it.

No gaming rig and most of the time no hot tubs either as my sims (at least some of the weirdos) prefer to sleep in them over their beds and it's annoying to have to direct them to their bed every time they do so.

I want to clarify though that I do like the features and the option to use them, I don't use them as much as I'd like to because of my sims obsessing over them. If they didn't I'd use them in more houses.

I don't like the taking toilets either, mostly because I got that buzzing noise bug from it when that was a thing and I got turned off using them after that. But also because if I direct them to use one most of my sims will cancel the action when they enter the bathroom and stare at the thing, like they need to react to the weird toilet every time they need to use it. So I can't be bothered. They are also kind of ugly.



And while this is not an item, pets are usually banned too. For the simple reason that sims can't remember when there aren't any pets in the household anymore.
For god's sake Karen, we don't have a cat in the household anymore so you don't need a pet bowl for having a pet because:
1. The cat died 2 generations ago, when you were a baby and,
2. We DO actually have a pet bowl already. So stop it. Get some help.

I only let my sims have pets if I plan for them to always have pets. I even have sims that had pets in another save (again, not even actively but at one point) that I then save to my library and play in a fresh save, what do they want? Stuff for pets because of "Owning a Pet". Grrr!

Say it with me everyone! R A D I O S!!

I just thought of another banned thing from ALL my lots. The stupid gnomes! I hate them! They’re like some 80s lawn ornament that they keep stuffing down our throats. When Harvestfest happens and those stupid things start to appear, I sell them right away. Least my sim makes money off of them. They’re so tacky

In some saves, I've just removed the gnome tradition alltogether because 1) my sims already have a fully developed garden or 2) my sims have no interest in developing a full garden.

@sunblond Oh I see. Practically ALL my sims train their handiness, so naturally I assume that all simmers do the same :D

Single beds. I hate the monster in the bed thing. All my kids sleep in double beds.

Chairs. I hate chairs. Standing there all smug with their four legs, while my sims only have two.

Joking, of course. Lol

Especially annoying when you NEVER get a monster because you use a nightlight in all childrens rooms. I prefer a game without monsters and nightmares. where my kids sleep soundly all night.

Coffee tables. They’re so attracted to them, they’ll walk across the entire house just to put something down while there was a perfectly good surface available in the room they were originally in.

Hahahaha... I finally decided to embrace the dang things and made a haunted gnome forest.
