kawaii_kitsune77 · August 14, 2025

Please Update this mod!

kawaii_kitsune77 · February 18, 2025

It is annoying to have restaurant where all of customers read books.

kawaii_kitsune77 · June 15, 2025

Also Doll House is giving issue with this mod.

Nicole puiia · December 12, 2024

Hi! My other request is for this mod. Could you please consider making a less dollhouse and less swing for teen-elder? so it does not effect my children or tods? My adults get obsessed with them and it's SO annoying but I always delete those two packages because I don't want to lower it for the proper age groups. Oddly enough the adults seem to use the swings more than the kids! Haha

k
kawaii_kitsune77 · February 28, 2025

I have played now 2 month in my newest storyline and noticed today that there was a adult who played without any kids with their dollhouse.

P
Perfect Cyan · August 19, 2024

Would it be possible to lower the tuning for teen-elder sims auto sitting on toddler and children’s beds?

E
Evan H · June 7, 2024

I downloaded the update but am still getting Better Exemption Alerts for a few of these, specifically, lessreadbooks, lessviewrandomstuff, and lessdrinkfromsink.

True AI · February 29, 2024

The v11 is still linked above. Is there a v12 of this mod?

Vicky Sims (chingyu1023) · February 29, 2024

The zip is now replaced. Thanks for telling me!

Hi! thank you for your all of your mods! This one in particular is a post I return to frequently, any time I find something that is done way too much! I was wondering if you would consider adding a less contemplate life mod to this set of mods? I have been playing with some adult sims a lot and they do the contemplate life self interaction several times in a sim day. Its annoying and borks autonomy. I would really appreciate it if its possible.

WebGremlin · November 14, 2023

Hi, first off thanks for all your amazing work! I use the LessWashHands_BGC among others, and though it does exactly what it says on the tin and stops them from constantly randomly washing their hands, my sims have also completely stopped washing their hands after using the toilet. Would it be feasible to add an exception for that?

L
Lord · November 2, 2023

I find it super annoying when I ask my sims to do baby care and they ignore the children anyway (man wtf?), or I'll click for them to give babies a bath and they just pick the child up & lay them back down repeatedly. Makes me grind my teeth, like the toddler who always has green smoke after a bath smh ;)

T
Tytta Marzh · July 29, 2023

Hi, can you also add less obsession with Cross-Stitch?

P
Perfect Cyan · July 20, 2023

I feel like the mini goats and sheep interactions in the new pack will have shoddy tuning (if you end up not modifying this, I really hope someone else does). The dance mat will probably be similarly tuned like the one from Get Together. And the new grill probably not be safe either (the white cake and herbal remedies).

GeorgiaMommyPeach · March 20, 2023

I miss this. =/

M
MeiRin · March 26, 2023

I miss this too, crying while watching sims keep washing hands after havert one single plant

A
Andrew Notton · August 14, 2022

any news on when it going to be fixed?

L
Lunar Britney · July 13, 2022

Please add less research on plants. My sims research plants NONSTOP it's impossible to own a garden and not go insane just from that ;( Also, less playing in ponds, since you can't have ponds without them obsessing with that too!

S
Sarah B. · June 11, 2022

The bar making drinks doesn't work for me. my sims is still out there every five seconds. soooo terribly annoying.

T
True AI · May 23, 2022

I've added your Less Sparring mod but my Sims keep obsessing on the B64 Training Bot. Does your Less Sparring mod not cover that machine?

Á
Álainn Digresses · April 23, 2022

can you also add less obsession with telescopes? my sims keep going outside underdressed in the freezing cold to use it and it's been driving me crazy

a
ambrosia-ghostie · March 16, 2022

I second the suggestion of adding washing hands. I think it's a bug from the Wedding Stories patch, but my Sims will not stop trying to wash their hands despite having full hygiene.

E
Ebony Love · March 7, 2022

Possible to add the obsession with washing their hands? Its crazy!

a
ambrosia-ghostie · March 16, 2022

I thought it was just me! Thank goodness. It really is insane. I had to turn autonomy off because my Sim's actions are being cancelled so they can wash their hands with full hygiene.

Sarah B. · March 6, 2022

How about mermaids absolute obsession with swimming?????

R
Robert Walker · February 21, 2022

Thank you so much, the mod is a god send. The sims playing with the clay drove me nuts!!!k

B
Beautiful Misery · January 11, 2022

Thank you, this is an awesome mod! Is it possible to add less stretching and push-ups? All the sims are obsessed with that it would be great if you could add that.

T
Toni Hawthorne · January 4, 2022

My sims are obsessed with the bar. I have one that tunes it down to those that have high mixology skill but it's not enough. I'd love it if you added this!

i
ieyasv · January 1, 2022

Hello. Is it possible to tune down the autonomy for skiing and sledding? Whenever I have my sims go on a vacation in Mt. Komorebi near the ski resort, they keep going outside to go sledding when most of the time I just want them to stay in the house.

M
Muddy · August 27, 2021

Thank you so much for this. Would you consider adding swinging to this please? My adult sims are obsessed with using the swing, the poor kids don't get a look in lol

B
Bri · August 22, 2021

Thank you so much for this mod it's helping my game so much!! One other thing I've noticed my sims are obsessed with are the future cubes, if it would be possible to make them less obsessed with them too that would be amazing!!

D
Darling Sims · August 14, 2021

Thank you, my sims are obsessed with making drinks.

H
Holly Golden · August 7, 2021

Oooo, could they be less obsessed with pushups and situps, too, potentially? Thanks for this: awesome idea!!

K
Kaedeo · August 5, 2021

Thank you SO much! You're literally a lifesaver 💖 And as usual, I have one question: I'm using this mod by Zero: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-idles-bork-48905665. Would it conflict with yours? Or do they touch completely different parts of the game?

V
Vicky Sims (chingyu1023) · August 5, 2021

They touch completely different parts of the game 😁 Even the SCAM mod the post mentioned is compatible too!
