Semi-permanent toddler grudges
Hi, so I did find a thread about this a minute ago but... it was last updated in Feb and I've been admonished more than once for 'necroposting', plus there were two posts that proclaimed "No longer a...

I MOSTLY like sentiments. MOSTLY. They're sometimes cute.

I hate the semi-permanent toddler grudges. If a parent, for example, tries to bathe the toddler and the toddler defies a single time, the toddler will have a festering grudge against the parent and any time the parent is around they'll get a sad or angry moodlet that their parent exists. This makes it really hard to skill up the toddler, as the negative moodlets reduce skill gains.
The permanent flirty buff from "smitten" is cute except when I need my Sim to be inspired, or focused, or anything that isn't flirty.
I had one caregiver/teen relationship sentiment ("Let the good times roll!") that left the caregiver pretty much permanently hysterical because they got a playful buff from the teen's very existence. I don't want caregivers to die because they like their children or teens. We basically spent all our time in front of the mirror to calm down, eating Tree of Emotion berries, or starting focused club gatherings until the teen aged up and moved out.
Lastly, sometimes my Sims will falsely accuse their spouse of cheating and develop a "wounded" or "furious about cheating" sentiment that causes them to lose relationship with their spouse with every interaction. I was so angry the last time this happened I went looking for a mod to completely disable sentiments. I didn't find one, so I just rolled back a save. :P

Yes, THANK YOU. I literally just went looking to see if anyone else was complaining about this problem bc my Sim literally just asked his toddler if he WANTS A DRINK, the toddler threw a fit, and then had a grudge. Like what??? It's ridiculous, I was hoping someone would know a way to disable it or something. The fact toddlers can have sentiments at all I think is stupid. I just have to use a cheat every time this happens, but they don't always work for some reason so it's really frustrating.
