When You Direct the Wrong Sim …

I'm using a mod new to me. It gives a more realistic birthing process. There is the use of an exercise ball, but it comes with certain interactions. It's meant for the Sim in labor and of course, she's in pain. I wanted my very pregnant Sim to exercise to help bring on her labor. However, I had her husband as the active Sim and silly me, I forgot to click on her icon. So, next thing I know he's seated on the ball and started the same movements the pregnant Sim uses. He even pats his belly and moans. LOL I'm dying of laughter here. Now, that's an oopsie!

Oh, I know, I'm having too much fun with this game. ;)

    I have had my fair share of directing the wrong sim to do things many times. I can't think of anything at the moment but I've had many marriages strained or ended because I clicked the wrong sim.



    Oh, dear …

    Yeah, I have done that occasionally, but usually catch it. However I sometimes see someone gardening when it should have been the other person. No big mistakes yet, but I pause a lot. The cutest reaction I remember seeing was when I had a large family and was controlling another sim. I saw the grandmother walk into her teenage granddaughters bedroom, sit on her bed and start talking to her granddaughter. I thought that was so cute. I probably micromanage too much and miss some of the cute things ( or disastrous ones ) that could be happening…. Lol.
  • @GlacierSnow thank you for the morning chuckle!

    I hear you. So long as somebody takes care of the weeds, right? LOL Yes, there are a lot of sweet moments that go on. I have learned to ease off the micro-managing thing, myself.

    I miss the Sims 2 and Sims 3 floating heads being in the action/social bloom.
    You knew who was selected because their head was right there.

    Sometimes it leads to interesting situations like having the wrong sim flirt with someone.


    So, that's what it is! Thanks for clearing up the mystery. I thought I was just losing my mind. ;)
