[@katievaldrow4990]

I get unnecessarily angry that I have to go into each individual outfit and add piercings/nails/etc. There should be a "apply to all outfit" checkbox. Similarly to the sims 3.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

As a glasses wearer,, YES

[@localmenace3043]

YES. It’s enough to turn me off from the game entirely when I spent the vast majority of my session just _making_ my sim.

[@SailorCouncil]

THAT'S the reason I don't fuck with makeup

[@noramasa]

Even the sims 2 had that option. Also if you create a new sim and immediately change their makeup first, that applies to all outfits. Has to be a new sim though.

[@TheResurrectionWoman]

I could have sworn this was a thing that I have done in the past

[@MissNeytirix]

The one thing that always gets me is when you finally get the toddler in the high-chair for food, but then one of the other sims in your household swoops in and picks them up again. Like PLEASE, MA'M, YOUR CHILD IS STARVING. Honestly, at this point, I've given up on highchairs all together. Grab your little plate and eat while on the sofa, you degenerate.

[@WelcomeApathy]

I've noticed they work better if you play as the toddler. It seems that the other Sim comes in to take the kid out of the high chair when the toddler is in it and calls to them. I've switched to the toddler right as it's happening, and I've seen that they had an action involving the Sim that takes them out of the high chair. So if you play as the toddler and ask for food, you can get the SIM to put the toddler in the high chair and feed them without another one coming in and taking them out first.

[@krustykringle]

bruh this happened when i was playing with a household that had an infant and the worst part of it was that it was like, family friends who happened to be over constantly picking up the baby for no reason, i legit yelled at the game over that lmao like please just let the baby have his finger foods

[@nouserbri]

And it’s mostly cause the toddler called them like NO STOP. And when I try to cancel the interaction the sims just keep on going

[@snowblood74]

Was about to comment EXACTLY THIS! I stopped using the high chairs. just let the kids eat on couch/floor where no grownups get in the way 🥲

[@designergirl8136]

What bugs me most about CAS is there is no apply all for makeup, jewelry, glasses, etc. I hate having to add it to all outfit categories.

[@carolandrews6102]

Sims using a toilet then walking to a completely different bathroom to use that sink... drives me mad

[@katrina8441]

Yep, and EA has known about it for years. I supposedly had a fix, but I don't know... I mean, there was also a fix for sims always drinking water, and now they seem back to doing it. 🤦‍♀️

[@rVnsunshine]

@@katrina8441yes!! They stopped and now every second my sim is not actively trapped in an action they are drinking water. I counted 27 dirty glasses on the counter the other day. Wtf???

[@sophh3986]

No, this it truly the WORST part of the sims. I can deal with a lot but omg

[@wompwomp4961]

people actually found that sims default to the most expensive of an item so if you have the same sink in both the bathrooms and the kitchen they'll instead default to whatever is closest which is what i've done and it works . sucks that to get them to be a little less stupid you might have to sacrifice the look of a house but for practicality i'd say it's not a bad fix since it doesn't involve a mod or cheats so it should also work on console

[@tonrodrigo2880]

@@rVnsunshine well, they have to stay hydrated. If it was up to us, they probably never drink water. But seriously, I have banned all coffee machines and bars from vintage glamour in all my households because of the constant drinking. Like.. drinking liquor at 6 am and drinking coffee at 1 am is crazy to me

[@Anna-bo6sc]

i wish that CAS relationships had more in depth things like ex partners, aunts or uncles without having to make another sim to make it that way, boyfriends/girlfriends, etc 😭😭

Not being able to put a fence at the outer edge of the lot is so infuriating

[@prisle]

for real, especially when you want to line a path with the short fences and then you have the options to either have the fence stopping awkwardly or, worse, have the path stopping awkwardly (right in front of the pathway of outside the estate)

[@mel_diamonddove9913]

Exactly! Also the fact that the lots don't line up to the world so your lovely pathway ends in grass a foot away from the world pathway......... so infuriating!

[@maidofthemisty]

that's a big one too haha so annoying

[@xkristixx]

That would be like owning a house but you can't put a fence at your property line... it has to be at least 3 feet inwards from your property line.

[@hotpinkkt]

@@xkristixx Not true. Not where I'm at. We actually had a talk about this with our neighbors last week. It can be on the property line

[@thebeepboopunlockthing589]

I get so beyond furious when I take a sim or two off of the home lot and leave the rest at home to auto care for their needs, and you expect them to take care of themselves and act accordingly, but by the time you return home to your household all the sims you left are awake and running low on literally every need as if they didn’t do anything while I was gone. Boils my blood and is the reason why all my sims are always shut ins

[@recordtapesbackward]

THIS! and mine always sit at the computers that are IN FACT locked for them..... how even?!

[@EllaIngram]

oh I had that happen once where I took one of my sims off the lot and left her toddler at home with his dad and then noticed the toddler was sad bc of low needs, I was like ffs never mind let’s go home then since dad wants to be useless 😂

[@mariakim19931]

I just cheat their needs when I come home because I believe they should've taken care of themselves while I was gone

[@rika33079]

​@@EllaIngram one time I left all family at home and travel with just a teen for all weekend, doing her aspirations tasks, and in the end her newborn sibling was taken away for negligence because apparently her parents have some more important things to do, than take care for him 😒

[@imfamoushero]

wait i’ve downloaded some before but you be on the property/building and not in map view for it to work

[@magentafox1657]

​@imfamoushero you can put apartments on the gallery by making them rooms. I haven't heard of this method but that's interesting (I don't have apartments in my game to be clear)

[@Osndbia]

THIS. I know you can upload them as rooms but it's nonsense, since you have to delete certains walls and can't have proper platforms that are connected by stairs in those cases. It absolutely sucks

when my sims miss a calendar event and go sad for 20 hours...

[@_Biscuitbear]

I always accidentally have a KZbin video covering it then get annoyed when they're sad

[@sidhackney8831]

Yes why is my career oriented parent DEVASTATED by missing prank day

[@natamoonie]

Very annoying. I used to focus so much on events but now I'm using a mod for that and it made my gameplay so much better lol. Now the events are still there but I can pick if I want to do something or not. Sometimes I'm ending it right away too 'cause I know I won't do it. The mod prevents calendar events to affect your sims, so even if you don't do it they won't feel anything. Most of those events are useless anways lmao. The ONLY "events" affecting your Sims with that mod is missing birthdays, like, no one baked a cake - they still gonna get sad from that but I think that's totally fine.

[@merchantfan]

Yeah I'd like to be able to indicate whether it's a holiday they care about- like they won't get sad for missing some minor holidays but will be sad about others even some ones you create. Especially for winterfest as that's very Christmasy and maybe my sims don't celebrate it

[@katelynnj2343]

Ugh yes. I want to disable seasons over this sometimes.

[@murielrehrer7340]

I wish sims that I meet once, briefly would not let themselves into my house and ask me to be their best friend. I wind up feeling bad for rejecting them but they should KNOCK so I can just ignore them like a normal person😂

And they call you while you’re at work asking to come over. Babe I met you at the welcome wagon that I didn’t want or ask for please leave me alone

[@AlexaFaie]

You have your sims meet people? I just make my sims loners so they don't need much social. Like I see my friends IRL once a year maybe? Though post covid we haven't met in person, just chatted online. Don't really feel the need to do more than that anyway. Don't get why sims get upset if they've not talked to someone for a few days. Like that's bliss.

WHY CANT WE MAKE ACCESSORIES LIKE PIERCINGS TRANSFER OVER TO ALL STYLES. It drives me INSANE to have to redo ALL just to have a piereced nose ...

The tagging system in general is so dumb too like the fact that you have to clear the outfit category in sleep and formal for piercing, I've had my nose pierced for like ten years now and I've never taken it out for formal event and I sure af don't take it out for sleeping

[@tardbug]

The fact that every fence doesn't have a matching handrail and gate makes me almost as irrationally angry as when the sims walk across the house to use a sink rather than the sink in the bathroom they used (only to get embarrassed because they walked in on someone) lol Also I was playing the other day with a household where a non-parent adult sim was home alone with an infant and the adult was not able to care for the infant because they hadn't been introduced?!?! They are part of the same household!! I had to hire a nanny so the kid didn't get taken away! Speaking of infants, the auto-babycare settings are unhinged! I need my sims to just do what I tell them and not get distracted by another screaming baby!!

[@Siyanaify]

It's maddening to me that there isn't a button to apply the same makeup or glasses to every outfit in CAS. I got so sick of scrolling through each category to add it on every outfit that I've straight up stopped giving my sims makeup. I also get mad when I have to go through a dozen submenus to find a specific action/topic needed to complete tasks for jobs or events. If it's something my sim needs to do, I want it to be front and center.

[@trixibelle480]

I agreee! Like all you need is a single button, like the button for change eyebrows to match hair. So easy

[@MikuKing]

Thiiiis. This is my biggest pet peeve with the sims 4. Much like with Jesse wanting to have saved custom outfits, I'd love a save custom make up look where with one button click we can apply a full face of make up where we've already picked the lipstick/blush/eyeshadow/eyeliner/facepaint/etc.

[@jennaknapp5581]

They had this in the sims 3 right?

[@alicine-sims8988]

I hate this so much! If you do mods, I did find you can apply the makeup and accessories to every outfit with MCCC. It still isn't just a button in CAS like I want, but it has let me put makeup on my sims again.

[@ariannebrodeur]

Facts to all this and plumbella recently did a video with a mod where if you click on a Sim and open all those options you can TYPE and it'll be a SEARCH BAR and everything with those letters/words will show up it makes doing interactions SO MUCH FASTER I could not recommend it enough

[@zara2358]

the occult thing and the fact that you have to add piercings/blush/etc to each individual outfit if it’s a staple item for your sim boils my blood.

The sadness when someone dies is maddening! I wish they'd use the family tree relationships and the friendship levels to determine whether/for how long sims are sad.

This one actually is possible in game, although does require bringing up the cheat console in game. For example, I think the cheat for turning the sim into a vampire instantly is something like traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire. There are similar cheats for other occults.

[@MikuKing]

I always thought I was just dumb that I couldn't find the button for the occult thing because surely they would have included that because... it's so obvious that we'd need that option. But nope, guess we're not allowed to change our minds lol.

Yes to all the CAS complaints, especially saving outfits. Have you ever made an outfit in everyday and decide it'd be better as party wear, or hot weather wear, etc. And then you have to recreate it piece by piece. And sometimes I like to just play dress up and it'd be awesome to save the outfits to use later on other Sims. I'd love collection folders for both BB and CAS, and for objects in the catelog to be tagged with key words. Too many objects have stupid "witty" names so never show up in searches.

Infants are even worse my Sim just finishes feeding it then she has a piss and the infant is already screaming for a nap

[@WelcomeApathy]

​@@_BiscuitbearI absolutely despise how they have the infants wanting to sleep. They get upset when they've been " awake for too long " even though their energy bar is still in the green. You basically can't get anything done with them. Which is very difficult when you're trying to get all the milestones. Or you leave them for a minute and all the sudden they are trying to try to go to sleep. I feel like that should only happen when their bar is in at least the yellow. I get that babies need a lot more sleep, but then it just should be an energy bar that goes down faster.

[@AE-ld9ck]

If I try to make the a family of sims eat at the same time, a parent will put the toddler in the high chair, and the other will put the child down and then eat the toddler’s food INSTEAD of their own. Literally stealing candy from a baby, 😭

[@seandaithi2407]

a small thing that gets under my skin is when a sim cooks a party/grand meal, finishes cooking it, and immediately takes a plate, thus not taking a plate with everyone else and not eating with everyone else. i wish the autonomy would realize the party/grand meal is meant to be eaten with others and stop from immediately eating. idk how this would be accomplished but it drives me mad when my sims can't have dinners as a family bc the parent that cooked has already eaten lol

[@robindelcamp]

right, and if you then want to "call to meal", they must put down the plate and then they grab a new plate, thus wasting the plate they already grabbed!

[@a-girl-and-her-cat]

WHY is it not an option to separate the meals into plates yourself, so you can set them all on a table you want them to eat at, since sims have such a hard time eating together. So ironic that that’s exactly what they advertised as being so special about the sims 4 and it STILL DOESN’T EVEN WORK PROPERLY!

LET ME FAVOURITE SWATCHES You can kind of do this by going into a section (like chairs) and then filtering by colour and click select all, it'll show all the swatches separately but its VERY annoying to scroll through (this also goes for cas items cus some of them have 20 swatches and only 2 of them are actually cute)

I believe I have also seen something similar for treehouse objects in a video, but I don't have the pack so I'm not sure. Edit: What I would _love_ to have in CAS are the "save custom look" and sorting options Jessie talks about, but also a "hide this item" option. There are a lot of CAS items I never use bc they are so damn fugly, and having to scroll through them is a chore and makes CAS all the more annoying to work with. I don't have the motivation to dress my sims cute bc I have to sift through tons of items (and, with the menu having only 2 columns w/o mods.. I mean come onnnnn) ALSO the option to permanently take off the "clothing type" (or whatever it is, next to the "sort by color" etc menu) tag without having to click that tiny x every single time in every single clothing tab for every single sim, is much needed.

I used to do this when I got obsessed with ballet shows or movies, in the end is just the autism everytime lol

Would love a minimap option for when you're out the house and it has icons on the edges showing what directions different attractions are in, as a mini solve for the last point.

- Not being able to copy & paste makeup/accessories - Not being able to create custom styled looks - Not being able to create our own collections like in TS2 & TS3!

[@GK-ob1ni]

Yes! I really miss the custom collections you could create in Sims 3. Such a time saver when you're trying to decorate a home with a specific look that you want.

[@seghuolog2957]

The one about the occults is so true and I want them to stop hissing/howling/making magic

[@allanscherman8851]

The awkward and laggy animations when Sims use the washer and dryer make me UNCONTROLLABLY mad.

LittleMsSam's laundry mod! It makes laundry stuff way less infuriating.

[@allanscherman8851]

@@christabelle__ Well damn thanks I didn't even know it was a thing ! I'm def looking it up !

[@katlyndobransky2419]

Bruh you shouldn’t even need a mod for that 😭

[@ViceCityExtra]

My pet peeve in sims 4 is that: 1. They can make the most beautiful unusable houses but don’t know that maybe windows should be placed on the same horizontal level on actual houses they build. 2. They’re able to put together nice styled outfits but when they style premade sims in game all that goes to shit and they look like clowns

[@charliewest4590]

Just two quick things to make your life easier! 1. Thepancake1 and mizoreyukii - remove sims from conversations (GOD SEND MOD!) 2. Deaderpool - MCC (there’s an option to disable emotional deaths I hope these help EDIT 3. Kuttoe- keep sims in home region (does what it says on the box sims will only visit the worlds in which they reside)

[@mayalewis2956]

When your sim comes home with a new baby and you immediately get the "your baby is hungry, feed her before she gets taken away" like???

[@HelyaRavn]

I'm not even half way through the video and I am _enraged_ in agreement. Literally all of those points (so far) I have _screamed_ about to whoever was watching me play xD ...Also, why can we not copy make-up to all outfits so we don't have to do the same make-up for every single outfit individually? D:

[@rockopeaches]

YES!!! Weren't we able to set the same makeup look to all outfits in the sim 3? And also nails. We should be able to set the name nail color/style for all outfits imo.

[@bookcat123]

And nails. And glasses. And jewelry…

[@swatchsea]

I hate that social workers don’t exist in TS4. When a child gets taken away, they just *poof* disappear, it’s so anticlimactic. I also completely agree with the occults in CAS! And as other have said, the accessories! We should be able to apply to all outfit categories, same with makeup.

[@voxnihili4960]

There are so many small things that can thankfully be fixed by mods. I still wish we could build diagonal stairs and connect different foundation heights more easily. I‘d also like a sort of MC Dresser function in CAS, where items can be blacklisted / whitelisted for Townies.

[@StarGirl_161-e3v]

I do believe that’s possible with the MCCommand mod

[@chloew8199]

Sims with the goofy trait CONSTANTLY PRANKING THEIR OWN TOILET. i never use that trait because of this.

[@Mouse2017]

Plumbella, for the off the grid items, if you go to the chair icon (above the household inventory one) and open that menu, if you scroll down it's in there. It's a bit out of place and not easy to find but it is there! Hope this helps 👍
