They're from Hairfish's site, Mermaid Cove.

I hate baths because they take too damn long. My sims have shower-baths for the toddlers but I don't let them bathe themselves.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Well, while they're doing that, you can concentrate on another sim!  I always let my sloppy sims take baths, it's way quicker than all the fuss about mopping up afterwards!

Wow, alot of great stuff on that site, thanks for the link Zephyr

I never thought about not having to mop up after a bath.  Almost all my sims are at least 4 clean tho, so I never get the puddle heh.

[ZephyrZodiac]

If they are sloppy, you will - and sometimes sloppy sims are fun to play too!  (Means they can have higher points in other things, if you're playing CAS sims with the basic pointcount.)

The interesting thing is, if you have two sims, both very active, but one is sloppy and the other is neat, the neat one will often choose to shower, but the sloppy one will almost always go for the bath!  almost as if they know the shower option will leave them with a puddle to clean up!

I make mine sloppy because they don't waste as much time. They eat faster, and will put a book on a coffee table instead of the whole crap of replacing it in the bookshelf and browsing for another to study a different skill. I also like that if you cancel an action, they will drop what they have instead of trekking across the home for a suitable counter or table to place it on.
I also use showers only and just queue something directly after so the puddle is left for someone who wants to clean it.

But they still hike halfway round the lot to put a coffee cup down!  But my latest family quite surprised me, the tathr, who is leo with only 3 neat points, is always tidying up - and he's a romance sim.  But he obviously prefers to get on and do something about the mess - his wife is Libra, only 2 neat points and hates cleaning - but then, she's got the pleasure aspiration, which I think is so suited to the lazier Libras!

I agree, though, that they eat more quickly - but ONLY if you have TJ's No Farting or Belching mod - otherwise they may spend less time eating, but the half a dozen belches tends to more than make up for it!

Trying to take the coffee cup to the second floor when they can put it right in front is a tad annoying.  Actually I've noticed that if you happen to put table/chairs upstairs (I had a house with a large balcony second floor) They would cook then go downstairs to eat at the kitchen table :/

I really wish that *somebody* would make a mod that deletes the influence wants, I don't mind them in uni so much, but playing in you're regular nieghbourhood these wants show up on almost every sim and takes up 3 of 6 slots everytime

Already exists. There's a "no influence obsession" that should still work with NL, prevents the influence wants from spamming your board once you fill your influence meter and thus indicate you don't use that crap.

It indeed still works, and I for one am grateful. I hate those spam wants.

Just make sure that your influence meter is kept full. Once you have some drainage, the wants will roll up again until the meter is full up once more.

Woot!!!! You just made my day J.M

Yeah, I'm not fond of that 'feature' and would rather they just be nuked alltogether and I could decide if and when I want to use influence. For the longest time I didn't even realize it worked that way and thought the hack wasn't working. Yes, I didn't RTFM, so sue me.
