Why is it rude to cook at somebodys house?
I just got kicked out of my friends house for cooking, although we're both hungry. I know if I was spending the night itd be fine, but throughout the series it is a kick-out offense. Why?

- I also got in trouble for plunging a toilet that I clogged. I think in the sims 3 you can get away with more as you become friends.
- I find it strange that when a sim invites another sim to spend the night, the invited sim won't sleep in the bed unless they have just woohooed.
- It’s rude to take showers even if it’s your daughters house to?
- I was playing a second household of a son of the father and mother (my main characters), who was getting married to his soon-to-be wife, but the hired cook never made a cake to finish the wedding objectives. The time was running low, so I got my guy to cook a cake for his own wedding in his parents home. But he got kicked out of his own wedding for 'uninvited' cooking. HAHAHA!!!
WHAT???!!! :D :D :D "Emo-usagi2187;c-17408136" wrote:

But I invite a sim over there all over place touch bookcase or taking trash out or swimming my pool like are you serious is keep these locked or don't invite anyone over anymore only her bf or his GF another person like heck nope.
The sequence described of invite-fire-help-confrontation sounds pretty awesome to me. That's some grade A sims chaos, and it seems like everyone had a delightfully awful time."Admiral8Q;c-17411848" wrote:

This also sounds amazing.- @OEII1001 Actually it was a bit more complicated then that. He did manage to bake a cake, but as soon as he put it on the table someone grabbed a piece before he could put the wedding-topper on it. So tried to bake another cake, that's when he got kicked out. :D

I would personally consider it extremely rude IRL if anyone came to my house to cook, shower or sleep - even more so if they'd try to feed my pet or toddler - without asking first. So my question would not be why this is in the game, but rather why you cannot ask for permission to do certain things while you are at another Sim's house. For close friends and family the answer should always be yes. But since the 'Always Welcome' trait, which has been mentioned a bunch of times in this thread, is so cheap it doesn't really bother me while playing the game.
This exactly. I'm fine with things being in the game that mimic life and IRL, even if my bestie came to my house, she would not just walk in, take a shower, get on my computer and make her a sandwich. She'd ask, and of course, I'd say yes, but she wouldn't just help herself. And a less close friend (not a bestie) wouldn't even ask, as that's rude to help yourself to others things.
I do wish we had an "ask" feature, but with the always welcome only being 500 aspiration points (which you can get that from one gold holiday, not to mention several aspirations, in less than a day) I don't worry about it."CelSims;c-17401256" wrote:

Lol well it’s not rocket science, you can’t go bum off other sims and their homes? A) yes cooking, showering and sleeping are inappropriate activities to do around somebody else’s home. B) it’s a difficulty measure, you can’t start a new game and go bum of the landgrabs. C) you can earn aspiration traits to over ride this (pretty sure it’s like dirt cheap too)...
It’s clearly not a glitch? Why are people always trying to pacify this game ? Isn’t the sims 4 easy enough already?
While I agree pertaining to strangers and even friends, my own family are perfectly ok with a child coming home from Uni wanting to have a shower, food and a bed for a night or seven. I wouldn't dream of yelling at my brother for using my microwave or bathtub.....
I don't really agree with that. I think it's very rude, even for family to help themselves without asking (with the only exception being my children that are grown and moved out) but even then, they are polite enough to ask permission first. Both my grown children know anything in my house is welcome to them, but I also raised them to be polite and they ask before helping themselves.
On the same note, I would never just go help myself to anyone's items without asking first. Not even my mothers. When I go to my mother's house, and I get thirst, I ask, "Do you have something to drink?" I would never just go get in her fridge without permission.
Again, I think a "ask permission for..." would be great (as mentioned by another simmer) but having the always welcome works fine for me, I just do a few socials and "pretend" I asked permission. (We sure do have to pretend a lot for a life simulator).- @DivieOwl Very insightful. I agree with you on that.

Yep, real life my brother or children would ask, but we can't ask in the sims. Ideally the option to ask would be there. But it isn't so I would expect in the sims world it to just be ok to go ahead in your parents or siblings house.
See, again, I'm opposite. Since the option to ask isn't there, I'd expect it to just not be okay and if I want it to be okay, I can purchase the reward trait. That way, everyone is happy. The people like me - that want the feature included - and people like you - that want to be able to walk in someone's house and start cooking. Easy-peasy... purchase the cheapo 500 point reward and we're both happy.
