Why Are My Sims Such Nimrods?

Ah, teen angst. While I do find the mood swings as a player annoying, I also find great joy in them as a storyteller, because that's so very typical of a teenager. There emotions are wildly out of control. It keeps me on my toes. I do find it incredibly irksome that people will put journals in the bookshelf if I'm not vigilante about keeping track of them. Also wish my teens could keep their journal on them without the possibility of them leaving it lying around on a community lot for anyone to read. It's got the same problem as the homework. When you play rotationally as I do and teens have a journal on them, they're likely to start writing in it and then leave it on the table. You'd think they'd want to protect that better lol. I remember being that age though and I must admit I left that kind of stuff lying around where I shouldn't have. *shrugs* Sometimes you're just forgetful.
