Why is there STILL no nice “ask to leave” option?

Yes, I agree. I wish there was a way to politely send visitors on their way when they've outstayed their welcome. 'Ask to leave' looks more like 'get lost' to me, which always makes me feel kind of bad when it's a friend or friendly neighbour.

On closer viewing, it does look like your sim is complaining that they have lots to do or something like that while the visitor sympathises - basically making up some excuse so the visitor will leave. A more polite way of doing it would still be nice.

I cannot agree more! This has got to be the worst social interaction. I don't understand why it is in the friendly category either. Another thing I don't understand is why the goodbye interaction does nothing. You can say goodbye to a sim, then they just keep going on with another conversation.

It's kind of funny though, the face reaction of the guest seems like he is aware he overstay his welcome.

No. Goodbye just finishes off the interraction the Sims are involved in but the visiting Sim doesn't leave.

And THANK YOU for pointing this out. Its been bugging me something fierce since I started playing. I have gotten off the stage of cringing everytime my Sims asks their visitors to leave but it still bugs me. Its just so incongruous (love that word) to what has been happening before. For instance a nice makeout session on the couch and maybe a successful 'do you want to be my boy- girlfriend' interraction followed by a romantic peck on the cheek and then out of the blue ..."GET OUT! GET OUT!! GET OUT!!!11!!111!" When the home Sim asks his or her lovebunny to go home.

I really hope they can change this in an upcoming patch ^^

I think of it like Sims have a different culture than humans. It's totally normal to go to sleep and let your guests hang out until they feel like leaving.

I just feel it breaks immersion a bit.

I agree, so I use a mod that changes the "ask to leave" animation from what it is now to a simple "goodbye" animation. It is coolspear's "Friendlier Ask to Leave" and you can find it on Simsasylum.

I just use MCCC to make sims leave the lot when they've overstayed their welcome. I hate using the ask to leave option because it's so mean.

I wonder why they made it look and sound so angry.
I often just stop talking to the guests and leave them by themselves til they leave on their own.
