Which basic sim need gives you the most trouble?

I'd say energy. I always want my sims to do more but then they get tired and have to nap or sleep.

The energy need fills up too fast but if they get a bit tired, they want to take a nap.

I think my biggest foe in ts1 and 2 was always social need because i am very much loner and it makes no sense to me for sims to even have "need" for social

but with ts4 fun is even more irritating
because they don't get fun from like anything i consider fun :disappointed:

though knitting is helping some now

I don't have too much of a problem here because I use mcc mod to make their need decay at a slow rate as well as slow time. But because I always play with autonomy off and have them doing things i always forget to make them socialize especially toddlers. When I look they are in the red and I have to gather them for a conversation lol

I dont like socializing in the game just to fulfill the social needs. I think it should decays slower to like 7 days from 100 to 0

My messy drinker Vampire makes a huge chore of managing Thirst. Otherwise, Energy is worst because it takes so long to fill it to the max, and then you have to deal with whatever needs decayed while your sim was sleeping, or send them sprinting to a toilet if they binge-drank coffee.

Thirst on vampires. It gets annoying and time consuming to hunt down plasma and ordering plasma packs will not be the best replacement until I can type a number instead of clicking 99 times.

If I am playing off the grid, too, I have to go to a public lot to find victims or internet to order packs. Plus any weaknesses that make it harder to fill the need or keep it green make it that much harder.

For me fun is the hardest.So few activities at home seem to cover fun.I really hate that t.v. and computer seem to be the 2 go to activities.

I'm not particularly social by nature, so I'm always forgetting to have them socialize. Especially if there's some other task/aspiration I want to focus on.

Fun is the second most, but that's because there are a lot of things that should be fun, at least for sims with certain traits, that it turns out were not programmed to be fun. I have mods to fix some of this, but not all of it.

Energy is only a problem when they get off their schedules - which, admittedly, is often.

Energy goes down too fast.
