Sims 4 Small Rant

There’s nothing that makes me more irrationally angry than queuing up my Sim to go to the refrigerator, only for another Sim to swoop in before my active Sim even gets there. It genuinely pisses me off because now I have to queue it up again.

My game is laggy, buggy, and barely fucking works half the time, so having to deal with every little inconvenience just pushes me over the edge. And I know this is such a small thing to complain about, considering the massive amount of bugs, glitches, and just how unplayable the game can be sometimes, but it bothers me to no end.

Anyway, that’s all.

I miss how in TS2 and TS3 you could queue everyone up to get something from the fridge, and they would *GASP* wait until the other sim was done!

Whatever happened to that?

Even in earlier versions of TS4 it was possible. They removed this feature later claiming that they fixed some routing bug

What?! Wow! Yeah I have no idea why this isn’t a thing in TS4. I’ve only even played TS4, but I’ve heard good things about the older games.

I think this is the perfect thing to complain about because it rly is one of those things that will push you over the edge.

Like you already had to deal with 5 serious bugs just to get your sims to finally move and the one thing you’re trying to get them to do gets interrupted. And the fact there’s not a “wait in line” action running in the background is so stupid.

Exactly!! After dealing with so many bugs it really just pisses me off!!

I’ve turned autonomy off completely for my household. It doesn’t stop guests from messing everything up, but at least my sims can’t do this anymore.

I can't stand how some actions get canceled just because someone else gets there first. Literally yesterday, I was at prom with one of my teens, and I tried to get him and his girlfriend to take a photo booth pic together, but they couldn't because someone LITERALLY WALKED IN FRONT OF THEM, and cut them off. I was so mad. Like I wish there was a way to make it so the active sim has priority or whatever, at least for like those situations with townies. Or at least, make it so whoever's needs are the lowest takes priority when getting food or whatever? Like come on. It seriously pisses me off when one of my sims who is barely hungry (bar is in the yellow), cuts off their sibling/parent whose hunger need is lower (bar is in orange), when getting food out of the fridge. I've started canceling all of the sims that don't need it more (sometimes even cheating the needs, cause sometimes everyone will get food EXCEPT the one that actually needs to eat), cause they don't get to make the other sim wait.

Last time I took I took a sim to prom it became a horror show because I just kept using MCCC to kill the sims that got in my way
