[OPEN] Sims Random 'Bored Idle' when not Bored or in Boring Conversation

[mh4515]

I do have to wonder about the design decisions that this team sometimes makes. Having my sim yawn immediately when I play them makes it feel like they are uninterested and bored in doing anything. It makes me not want to play the game.

"Me too!!!!!!" It will happen randomly I'm not really sure when but I would just say it is idle. I notice it the most in my women body type sims but it is possible it happens to all genders. It makes me sad when my cheerful sim will be happy and then randomly scoff! Definitely came after I installed eco-living.

I have this too - all sims use a bored animation a lot even without the bored moodlet. Worse that that though is that sims with the Snob trait get the bored moodlet constantly now - not just like when they watch a show they think is boring  - like it was originally. They have the bored moodelt no matter what they do unless it gets overpowered by other moodlets.  Will not be using this trait anymore until this gets fixed.

This is a very annoying idle animation. If you don’t want/or can use mods .. it’s just frustrating. And I have this although i deactivate the effects from build-modes. I don’t mind idle but I don’t want that my adult behave like teenagers or are in midlife crisis.

There is some major issues going on with the game , it's draining to come to one of your sims household and they are always bored like crazy. One sims seem like she was so bored she didn't want to be a mother anymore or wife.

She often get bored no matter where she is and often drink coffee and take a bath while she drinking her coffee , it got so bad with her being bored all the time I had to move her out of household with her husband and daughter because I just couldn't take it anymore.

Her brother who was staying with them and was getting bored a lot like his sister and his wife was doing the same thing, but what I noticed when I check on them one time in CAS while Manage Worlds both of them was missing one trait.

These two sims have been married for a long time and have kids with their spouses.

I hope the team is not testing our sims in the game for traits.

Does your Sim look bored all the time? Even when you think they are having fun, they look bored to you? Not a problem anymore. It’s been… taken care of.
