So in my head I wanted to make this thread because, ya'know, more threads is good, right? Honestly though, I just want to know if anyone else gets annoyed by this/pass my annoyance onto you poor people when it didn't annoy you before (:
#1. When people recolour the easel. Yay for the new colours, but have you ever looked at the paint bottles in the ledge there? They'll be the same colour as the wood. DRIVES ME NUTS!
#2. If your Romance Sim is "wooing" another woman and every single person on the lot can hear them. Makes no sense at all.
#3. When people don't Gen. + Town. their eyes. It's not that I don't mind doing it myself, it's just that it takes me FOREVER to decide if I want them dominant or recessive because I'm just weird about that stuff (everything has to be perfect).
#4. When people make bright alien colours Townified. I don't know if it's possible to have just Gen. and not Town., but when all my neighbourhood Sims start spawning in skins that are in Pooklet's neon colours (and I mean, literally, EVERY SIM), I go crazy.
#5. I'm not sure if this is an actual pet peeve, but the fact that everyone doesn't bin their hairs the same way. It makes me feel like I have to Pooklet every single hair I want, now, because someone may have Pook'd it wrong (which is why I'm loving downloading Maxis Match hairs, because they're all usually binned the same way).
So share some pet peeves you have about the Sims, and some IRL ones if you'd like, too (:

Easel Rage!!!
Oh, I'm sure I have several more for the list...
#1 This isn't really a peeve, more my own ineptness but eh. I hate it when I see someone's previews for makeup (mostly eye shadow) and it looks unbelievably awesome and I decide I need it in my game. Then I try it on my Sims and they look like a toddler scribbled on their face whilst they were sleeping.
2# The price of The Sims 3. I mean, I'm probably a TS2 girl to the core, but I really do want to try out TS3 before I write it off entirely, but it's so darn expensive (here, anyway). The cheapest I've seen it was about £25 and it was preowned at that. I can't afford to fork out that much right now when I don't even have a job. It's a three year old game too! Really EA? Really?
3# The rotation of the neighborhood camera. I've installed a mod and everything, but it's still so awkward to use.

I really don't have any peeves. Hm. I guess it's because I always notice the good things over the bad things, unlike just about every person I know.

My pet peeves are more game based, but... 1. I know this rant has gone on before, but, the nannies. I absolutely hate hiring nannies. They don't even take care of my kids, all they do is take bottle after bottle out of the fridge (when the kid is perfectly full and is about ready to pass out on the kitchen floor) and then they go into my bathroom and pee their pants RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TOILET!!!! (rage smiley, because there isn't an angry enough one to express my feelings ) I haven't killed any nannies yet, but I've been tempted too like every single time. 2. Another one that's been going on for a while, the cows in University. One of them actually made one of my elderly couples break up because he flirted with the husband. And now he's stalking their house because everyone else in the family hates him. 3. The fish tanks. I always forget that they're there and then my fish die and my children lose aspiration points. 4. When you're searching through MTS and you find a really cute shirt that you just HAVE to have, and the site with the mesh no longer exists. I know there are others, but thats all I can think of right now. EDIT: I just thought of another one! 5. I hate it how no awesome sim creators watch the same TV shows I do...

Omigosh, I haven't posted in forever, but seeing this thread and having run into something annoying in my game earlier rekindled something within. I hate! HATE! HATE! the fact that whenever there is an infant on the lot, everyone will immediately swarm the crib and pass the child back and forth between family members and friends.
Just earlier, a sim of mines gave birth to twins boys. The second she placed them into the cribs, everything went downhill Every sim on the lot suddenly crowds the room and takes the babies here and there, then, as expected, they inevitably place the child on the floor and walk off. HELLO, I didn't buy those cribs for decor!
Another thing that grinds my simish gears is whenever a baby obviously needs a diaper change, he or she gets something entirely different. Maybe these sims aren't familiar with smelly diapers and maybe they don't see this green miasma seeping out the back of this baby's diaper... but I do... and I can't stand watching them take the child to the fridge to feed it a bottle instead. Gasp! The child is still wailing because it stinks....
Which leads me to the last rant....
I love my sims to death---each and every one of those bright-eyes, rosy-cheeked simulated people, but they just aren't too bright. So it's finally crossed their minds that this stuffed child reeks to high heaven, and a diaper change is in store.... but you can't reach the changing table because there is a small doggie chew-toy blocking it. Seriously? I understand that this is more of a game-design flaw and less sim-stupidity, but C'mon now! You're saying that this sim couldn't just step OVER this tiny little plastic toy? Instead she'll stop, set the child on the floor (Grrr!) and commence to waving her hands in the air like she just doesn't care (out of anger of course)
Also, my apologies about the length. I really wanted to get that off my chest.
