Smarter Sims, Have You Ever Seen One?
Not many of us can claim any of these Sims are very smart in any iteration. Yes, we wanted them to be able to take care of themselves a little better, but still yet, even in 2020 Sims do foolish thin...

I don't have smart stories, but I have a few dumb generalized ones I remember from 6 years of Sims 4.
My toddlers 50/50 have a death wish. When they are literally starving and I get the warning alert, they finally get food after the high chair struggle and they just throw it. Still in the red. 50/50 in my toddlers. Sometimes it happens in a row. On the third time I just put food directly into their inventories and still have to fight them because they want mom, dad, or guardian to put them in the high chair. I have never gotten the to eat from their inventory in a high chair. I usually manage to save them, but I always wonder if it was worth it. (For the record, I still like Sims 4 toddlers the best of them all. The Sims 3 toddlers were so much maintenance that I flat out refused.)
Also, breeding pets. Just sigh. I know they were designed without real relationships for pet-to-pet, but still. For it to be the struggle that it is, it is kind of ridiculous, especially when my pets for absolutely no reason just say no. Even with a high relationship with the sim. Their personalities really make no sense what so ever, though. I usually have both a cat and a dog when I play with pets, usually at least two, and their interactions are completely random if they acknowledge each other at all. One minute they love each other and the next they are antagonistic. I don't understand how we can go from Sims 3 where baby pets unrelated but raised together can have a littermate relationship, but in 4 you cannot have them be anything other than neutral strangers their whole lives because they do not have relationships. Add to that when I first pulled out the hamster cage, my pets camped on and by it for three sim days and nearly died. So yeah, cannot talk about stupid sims without bringing up the pet ai.
