What about the game annoys you?

Otherwise, the predictive selection when moving items. If I click something and place it, and if I don't like it and want to adjust it in a crowded area, I want to select that item again (and again, if needed) to move it, not highlight everything in that area before highlighting my intended item. I get why the game does this. I just want the option to turn it off.

This is probably my absolute top annoyance. Like during Halloween with spooky fences, I'd toss them out every time I won some and had to keep readjusting where they were and in general had to expand my Halloween area of town several times over to accommodate new items and between the spooky walls and paths I lined with jackolanterns I could blow so much time and sanity just try to move things a couple of 1x1 spaces over. I'm the sort of person who if it were easier I would probably constantly be tweaking my town, tweak a lot as is but as it currently stands with this, the largest time sink while playing is this. And sometimes it will cycle through everything in an area and still refuse to pick up an item- lately I've had some weird troubles with that more than before. Especially if I want to quickly store a building to knock a character off task, the predictive thing seems to try and insist I don't want to pick up the darn building! And again, makes sense if that's actually true (and I'm sure EA would prefer we threw down donuts to rush complete a task but ha, not happening).

This issue also has prevented me from nuking my town and starting over even though I very much would like to. When I realize I can blow more than an hour just trying to make minor adjustments on one or two blocks of land, the thought of nuking half makes me want to cry, seems like I'd never get everything where I want!

Also agree on pavement and the sentiment made by teo47 about trying to line up buildings with those stupid pavement blocks. I hate too how the driveways on houses are narrower than the pavement block, so if say you want to put Homer's car in a created driveway, it doesn't look as good as it could. I lined driveways with flowers but you still see the pavement underneath them a bit and just irks me. It'd be so nice just to have 1x1 pavement to maybe throw in a sidewalk type area around town or from one building to the next.
