Nothing more frustrating than to be on a date have your food served and some random Sim strolls up and steals either your or your dates food. Having a drink stolen at the bar happens so frequently that I don't even bother having my Sims order one anymore.

If you're quick: Shift-Click - force error is the only one that works for me. You need to be quick though because leave it too long and the food borks as well as the sim and becomes inedible. Still, that's one where I make the sim selectable and pull down their bladder motive by way of revenge. Irritates me too.

Polgannon Project Seriously, I'm still working on it.

I'm certain that in 9 pages it must've been mentioned at LEAST once: but the amount of attention adults and teenagers give infants: yes, I get that in the real world you wouldn't leave an infant alone for that long in a crib at the opposite side of the house, but you DON'T need to feed it (or just mindlessly stand around holding it...) constantly; especially not when your other child is so hungry you're about to get an untimely visit from a certain government-appointed lady, you're stinking like a garbage disposal, have work in 30 minutes and are about to pee yourself. Not the right time to force feed the baby. Trust me.

Pretty much ANYTHING they do when they're supposed to be minding the store on a business lot. I have to turn free will off whenever I send some sims to OFB 'work' because otherwise they'd drive me mad.

I despise autonomous actions which cancel my orders in favor of themselves -- everyone in the room stopping what they're doing to yell at the baby for filling its diaper, for instance, or kids running outside to hug their parents. I feel bad about getting grumpy about the last..who am I find affection so irritating?

I don't mind it since I make my sims do it themselves most of the time. (unless they have a maid) But when I prefer them doing something else and they walk all the way upstairs, across the cross, even when I cancel it, it drives me crazy!!! >

I pretty much hate any autonomous that does not improve the Sim's moodlet, nor does it fulfill anything. These includes:
- What's this?
- It's raining/ It's snowing / and any autonomous reactions to the change in weather (and that includes 'Hail!')
- Fire! (because it's so much safer to dance around the fire and scream rather than call the fire department )

I also don't like any Autonomous interactions with strays (play catch, be barked at, etc) or pets (not that I have any to begin with)

Toddler toys that don't automatically drop out of the queue when their parents go to pick them up annoy me. It drives me crazy if a toddler starts playing with something when their energy is next to nothing, the parent wants to pick them up, and they won't stop playing with the darn thing. Then, when the parent gives up, the toddler pulls away from the toy, waves for sleep desperation, and falls asleep on the floor. Drives me nuts.

Also, if they're autonomously taking out the trash and you queue something up before they finish, the fact that they drop the trash on the ground instead of finishing the action. If I don't pay attention, I end up with stupid roaches because of that. X(

Finally, the train set. The fact that visitors will go and get stuck on the train set and play it forever annoys me to no end: they'll stay all night playing with the train. (At least I got a hack to prevent the train set from bursting into flames, so there are no longer random annoying fires.)

Most other annoying autonomous actions, I can quash: those are the few that remain that really bug me.

I agree with you on that one. Luckily for me. I made a house that has that awesome bookshelf, and she can't get to my computers or piano MUAHAHAHA, then again, the cow is one vile person. She picked a fight with one of my Sims, and they became enemies. Then she decided to pick on another one of my sims. And my two sims began to bad mouth her which only led them to hate her more.

Oh, but this is where the realism comes in to play, ever try to put a cranky toddler to bed?

What is not realistic is the parent giving up and wandering off to look out windows or read books or whatever the case may be. Although I use HugeLunatics toddler blanket so the kid pretty much puts them-self to bed which is completely unrealistic but I find myself cursing a lot less. :D

I HATE when my sims keeps changing the TV-channel if I tell them to watch something else.
I want them to increase their cooking-skill, but instead they change to sport or something like that! ARGHH!
Hasn't anyone come up with a hack for that?

Unlike most people I kind of like the "what´s this?" thing. But one thing that used to drive me nuts was when kids dropped everything in their queue just to hug a parent that returned from work. It was extra annoying when a kid had brought someone home from school and they were playing chess. I like my sims to become friends with the sims they bring home, and chess is a good way to build up the relationship. But everytime when the parent got home the kid dropped everything just to give the parent a hug. And then the other kid decided it was late and walked home and they hadn´t become friends yet. Now I have Pescados hugging hack and a hack that makes it so kids and teens will stay longer, so I can finally relax there.

I also hate when my sims go to bed autonomously. It´s annoying because that means if I put things in their queue they will wake up to do that. If they instead sleep when I tell them to they will at least sleep until they are thoroughly rested and then start doing other things. And after I installed Apartment Life my sims will autonomously go to bed when they have 1/3 of their enery left, wich can be early in the evening.

What really annoys me is when kids want to sleep in their parent's bed--You have a bedroom for a reason! And sometimes, the parents will play the dumb ones too and sleep in their child's bed. It also annoys me when every Sim wants to talk through to someone with a teddy bear...that's why my sim-children no longer have teddy bears when they get toys. The What's This interaction gets me, too. And who told mama-Sim to feed the baby after he filled his diaper? *facepalm* Sims...

My male Sims are...Simulicious!

Neighbors kicking over the trash can is the worst!

Autonomous pillow fighting is more humorous but it still irks me. There is NOTHING more annoying than two sims having a pillow fight in the middle of my grocery store. First of all, why are you carrying your pillow out in public and where are you storing it? That goes along with throwing water balloons in sims faces. A humorous account from that is my sim started up his new store, and it wasn't very big. So one of his customers throws a water balloon in his face, making the puddle, then he complains about how messy my store is. Seriously, you threw the balloon! So of course my sim cleans it up, and he's fine, then he does it again and of course complains again.

Rude neighbor behaviors such as coming over and only playing on my piano or letting my bird free.

The older sim neighbors playing with the bear or bunny toy. They drag it all over the house and bother my sims with.

The cow mascot in university that ruins my relationships by attempting to kiss my sims. I know his job is to be annoying, but Bob and Cindy can be well engaged with a perfect relationship, and even if Cindy is creeped out by the Cow trying to kiss her, their relationship takes a huge step back and Bob thinks she's cheating.

The nanny constantly trying to interfere with my sims taking care of the toddler. I usually have the nanny come help my sim take care of the kids when she has twins, and so my woman can focus on her own needs more. When that nanny wants to feed the toddler, she will NOT stop at nothing. My woman was trying to teach one of the toddlers to walk and that nanny comes and drops like 20 bottles at the tot's feet.

Oh and of course, EVERY time there is weather all the sims MUST go look at it.

I actually really like the hugging one though its annoying after multiple days straight of it.

I know there are mods for these and I keep meaning to download them and even have them bookmarked but for some reason I havent gotten there yet.

I hate the less than split second it takes for a Sim to flip on either the TV or a radio if you have one across from their bed. I'd forgotten about this but I just used a hotel lot I haven't used in ages and had neglected to remove all TV's from the rooms.

My Sims are having a lovely time and the ACR kicks in and they go to relax on the bed. No sooner has the first ones butt touched the bed and they have flipped on the TV. I have them turn it off and the other Sim relaxing on the bed turns it right back on, talk about spoiling the moment. Completely maddening, really must remember to go in and remove all the in room TV's from that lot.

I cannot stand...

-Weather reaction
-"Look good grades!"/"Mom/Dad are home!!" *hug*
-Any of the hobby actions like the ballet stance, rubbing belly, rubix cube thing
-WATCH OUT IT'S A PARKED CAR!
-Bed making
-Diary writing(got a hack for that)

All the things that the developers put in and said "Oh..they're going to love this attention to detail!"

*sigh* I need moar hacks.

My sims won't stop playing the computer!!! And I hate it when you greet the welcoming club and they just invade your house like it's their own. I also hate it when i have a tv in a parents room and they forget to turn it off before they go to sleep so then like one hour later while sleeping they both get up when really one person could easily do it by them self!

I think both of the sims just get up becurse they feel disturbed by the tv and a sim is not programed to lay in the bed then they are'nt sleeping.

Anyway, I just come to think of this: Why make food for a robot? I had a sim who were skilled anough to build small robots and when they are activated the sims on the lot always prepere food for them. Why did they ever program that? A robot is made to do things, not to eat.
