I don't know if some of the things I see are by design or just been missed from being put in the game. Maybe even a glitch with some things. I find not being able to use the Tuna that our Sims get from fishing in the Tuna Casserole recipe and even in the Tuna Sandwiches in Sack Lunches. Very odd and would most certainly reduce the price of the Tuna Casserole to make. Why can't our Sims take a "bath using soaks" in the shower/bath combo's? Sometimes space is at a premium and not able to have a shower and bath separately. And why don't plants die when left neglected? In all the time I have been playing never seen a dead plant so when my Sim get a desire to bring a dead plant back to life I have to cancel it out! I added the parenthood game pack and found my young adult Sim wanted to play with a child's toy, he was not a "childish" Sim and didn't have any children LOL. Now this is certainly not suppose to be there! Just a few things I have noticed and would like to comment on.

And I love it when my Sim is broke and needs to eat LOL. In the Sims 3 my Sim was always eating fruit and veg they got around the neighbourhood when short of money. I tend not to use this as much in the Sims 4 but I find eating free chips at the bar a good food filler for free.

I often forget about my sim's gardens they do eventually die but not too quickly, though I don't really find many things odd the sims universe has never been normal some things are just for the player. Like being able to put most things on your main lot to limit travel even if most families wouldn't have certain things in real life. Though I guess it's odd that if you don't cue up a fight sims will get over it and keep chatting like nothing happened ha.

And sometimes multitasking is not available for some things. Although I have found that if your Sim put a portable radio out in the garden and listens to it they can also do gardening. But if they start gardening then want to listen to the radio the interaction just stays above until all the gardening has been done before dropping down. Sometimes the multitasking can be a bit of a pain in the game and doesn't work as I think it should. Also some of the objects in the game are very large so unless you have large lot getting a desire to have a large item like the cupcake factory is a no no in a small apartment!

What things in the Sims 4 do you find odd and wonder if they are intended?

Sandy even offers a teleconferencing phone that can be used on the conference tables in an office setting. <3

Beautiful! Thanks for that!

In my country there are bars that offer free chips before you get your actual food/drinks so that's not weird to me :sweat_smile:

For me the weirdest thing from TS4 is that there are so many families(most of the popular families are like this) on Gallery were young adults have teenage kids.. I mean yeah I understand that TS4 is not real life but WHY?

That bugs me so much! It's not even possible. Sims spend about 6 weeks from pregnancy to young adulthood, 4 weeks to get to teen. Subtract 4 weeks from the young adult and she'd barely be a child when she became pregnant!

Keep in mind that we're talking about the Sims world where there are things like Potion of Youth Rewards. It's definitely possible, and one could even say it's not cheating since it's mechanics already existing in the game. And it's definitely possible for Young Adults to have teenage kids in real life.

Something I found strange, my teen sim has the neat trait and is constantly cleaning yet apparently she lacks responsibility (it's in the red) and to raise it up she should...clean.

Free chips at bars.

Huh? What country are you in? Your profile I think said you were from the US.....In the US we have free snacks, especially chips at bars A LOT. There are articles even about the best free bar snacks at what bars here in the US.....Most of us college kids aurvive off free bar snacks at a lot of bars they almost serve meals for free as in the articles below. You don't get carded if you don't actually order alcohol, so you can order a Pepsi or coke at the bar and as long as you spend money you still get the free food. When you are broke and a college student its amazing :smile: .

Interesting, I always assumed it was one of those unrealistic sims things like how they can get free quick meals from the fridge and feed toddlers for free.
