Features in The Sims 4 that turned out to be actually quite annoying // Sims 4 annoying features

oh hi thanks for watching my video so if you watch a lot of my videos you'll know that when it comes to talking about the sims 4 i'm a shiny beacon of positivity but today we're having a bit of a chat in today's video we're going to be touching on some of the features in the sims 4 that became actually quite annoying over time let me know in the comments if you've experienced some of these things in your game there's nothing i love more about moaning than being validated so let's begin kicking things off with bust the dust the entire selling point of this kit was the gameplay involved sims homes would now start to gather dust and require cleaning if sims resist cleaning for a few days the house will quickly become filthy and even fill with dust bunnies i was quite excited when this kit first came out kind of reminded me of laundry day being able to indulge in the mundane tasks that you have to do in everyday life here's the thing though with laundry day it could get really annoying when sims suddenly leave piles of filthy clothes every time they get changed but here's why that's not on this list sims will only leave piles of dirty clothes if they have the means to do laundry so if i give my sims a washing machine and washing basket sims will leave their clothes everywhere if i don't give them those things they won't what annoys me about bust the dust is that sims are required to vacuum around even if there aren't any objects placed for doing so you can turn off the dust gathering feature but that impacts every household in an ideal world the dust would only gather on lots that have vacuum cleaners placed like with laundry day and just a couple other small peeves with this kit is the fact that my sims have to stop and sniff the air all of the time and i might be wrong here but i've had it before where i've hired a maid for my sims home and they completely ignore the dust it's like they don't even register dust as dirt so even with a maid my sims still have to do the house work anyway let's move on to likes and dislikes don't get me wrong i actually really like this feature but sometimes i feel like the sims team give us what they want but they do it in a slightly botched up way like giving someone a hundred dollars in one cent coins or cooking a delicious meal but serving it on a plate made of dog you get what you asked for sure but with an inconvenient caveat it's great having likes and dislikes for my sims and being able to choose them in creator sim or have them discover a like or dislike whilst engaging in an activity but not all the time and not for sims that aren't even in my sims household when the likes and dislikes update first came out i was constantly getting like and dislike pop-ups for sims that didn't even know my sim or sims that i didn't know existed and it was quite annoying credit where credit's due though it has got a lot better since the update and i don't see these pop-ups as often anymore so it's not all doom and gloom the terrified emotion so this emotion was added in a patch update just before we got the paranormal stuff pack you know when stuff packs were a thing when a sim is terrified they will not want to do much it's about as restrictive as the uncomfortable emotion sims might even cancel commands so that they can run around and scream incoherently i really don't mind the scared emotion when it comes to using the paranormal stuff pack because it goes hand in hand with the pack activities but i have found in my game that every single sim i've ever played with has a fear of thunder so god forbid i move into willow creek or newcrest in spring the slightest scent of rain and my sims are cut just one of you just not be scared of thunder please the toddler high chairs this may just be my game so if it is then i accept that but man these toddler high chairs they drive me crazy if you have one toddler in your household you probably wouldn't notice but try putting more than one toddler in a high chair and feeding them at the same time it's like your sim just breaks they don't know what the to do i just asked you to feed three toddlers in a high chair ending holidays i love holidays in the sims but sometimes i can't be asked and if i were to remove a holiday from the calendar it removes it for every family in my save so i don't want to do that which means i have no choice but to either do the holiday or end it and because i'm a lazy i just end it and what am i left with a family full of grumpy sims who are too miserable to do anything as a way of punishing me for not giving them a holiday and then i have to send them all to bed to cry it out three-way chasers it annoys me when my sim is guessing their flirt on with another out in public and some utter blockers decide to join in the chat there are mods you can use to remove sims from the chat but this option isn't open to everyone so it makes the list my sim should be able to engage in frisky talk without diane getting involved and trying to get an admission ticket get your own lay diane this guy's mine dead sims assets this gripe is more about a feature that doesn't exist than it is about one that does so unless you use mods inheritance isn't a thing in the sims 4 which is disappointing especially if you're one of those squares that don't use cheats imagine going through the hours of effort on a rags to riches challenge only to have your sim die and leave nothing for their grandkids or relatives living in other lots it doesn't make sense the game knows to notify relatives when a sim dies why not just go the extra step and award them the inheritance from their deceased loved ones another one okay neighborhood action plans i would probably enjoy this feature a lot more if i actually played with eco lifestyle much but personally i haven't played with the neighborhood action plan since when the pack first came out so i just played the sims like normal and then all of a sudden every sim around me has a bag on their head to be honest i don't blame anyone for my frustration with this because i'm sure people who bought eco lifestyle probably play with it a lot and so they don't get annoyed by it but for me it's just another thing to remember to disable because it doesn't add much value to my gameplay hot and cold weather clothes i really like being able to choose warm weather and cold weather clothes in the sims 4 a feature that came with the season's expansion pack here's the thing though pre-made townies have their outfits designed for every base game clothing category so when bella goth changes into her formal wear dress it looks like something bella would wear it makes sense when it comes to seasonal wear however there are no pre-made outfits so the pre-made townies walk around looking utterly ridiculous most of the time because sims dress for the weather so every time you see a sim on a community lot they're likely going to be wearing warm or cold weather clothing which means most of the time my townies look ridiculous my favorite sims season is autumn because that's when sims are least likely to wear their seasonal clothes because i can't be asked to go and set outfits for all of the pre-made townies for every save file and finally unnecessary moving why do sims need to move around to perform a social interaction only to move again to complete another social interaction why does my sim need to play musical chairs when sitting down for a meal come on guys get it the together so there are a few features in the sims 4 that i found to be actually quite annoying i try not to make negative videos too often but i think it's only fair to talk about the good and bad things when it comes to the sims 4. so i'm sure we'll have a more positive video soon but in terms of this video do you agree with my points i'd love to know in the comments if you've experienced any of the features i've mentioned here and also let me know if there are things in the game i may have missed that turned out to be actually quite annoying that's it from me though thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed it if you did please like and subscribe you know i love it when you do that and i'll see you in the next video bye-bye [Music]
