Help, fight constantly

Well, in that case...does it mean that the odds are calculated on mean points versus body skill, or something like that? Because it does annoy me when a sim with maxed body skills gets beaten by a novice, just because the novice is madder!
I was under the impression that fight experience was like a hidden skill. More fight experience, in that case, would play a part in the equation as well. My mean fighting sims seem to do better in fights against nice sims with less experience, for example. Might be my imagination.

Well, I don't have BV installed yet, it's still sitting there waiting.....but I do get that animation whenever a sim is getting ready to attack....and although I do have enemies accumulate, I don't have thefightclub.
Same here: enemies accumulate, no fightclub. Stella Young (note: 9/10 of my playables have the same last name), a married-in tourist-townie who is now an elder, spends a fourth of her life in that fist-pound animation. A half of it is spent pummeling tourists (usually Rochelle Norris, Enemy #1, who carried on an affair with Stella's hubby for a bit - gotta love ACR). The other fourth is divided between sleeping and walking around with the pregnant-walk animation, because I borked her good trying to clear all her attempts at a third child. I choose to believe it's an injury sustained from all the excessive fighting.
Stella's a Knowledge sim. Somehow, without fight club, she's yet to lose a fight...at approximately thirty fights in her lifetime.

Well, in a recently played lot, Jimmy Lee Tan came home from work with Alan Field's missus. Both Alan and Jimmy Lee are Romance sims, both have only 3 nice points, and at that point they didn't know each other. Jimmy Lee came on to Mrs Field, Alan was only to happy to pound his fists together and wade in against Jimmy Lee, even though he only had about 3 body skill points to Jimmy Lee's ten. Neither had ever been in a fight before, probably because they're also both very outgoing. I expected Jimmy Lee to win hands down, but obviously Alan had the extra impetus of the avenging husband!

I have a neighborhood packed with very neat, very mean Sims, mostly Scorpios with a Virgo and Taurus or two. There aren't that many real *fights,* but they do wander around slamming their fists into their palms. The YAs especially do it as they stroll off to class, making a grouchy face as they go. I always thought it was just that they loathe other Sims generally on principle. I don't have a problem with this.
I also have a lot of Sims who walk up to complete strangers and Argue, and my simself (three nice points) Pokes a lot of sims for the sheer heck of it. So does her Servo, who has the same nasty personality, and who is loathed throughout the neighborhood. As I said, I have no problem with this. I think the OP *may* be looking at standard mean sim stuff (which without a mod, also includes completely random furiousness at inanimate objects--"I hate you, easel!") They're *supposed* to be mean.
The new couple, though. . . that sounds weird. I don't care how mean and evil a Sim is, most of the time when I create a couple, especially a married couple, in CAS, they kick things off by giving backrubs or making out at the mailbox. I have a Scorpio Romance/Pisces Pleasure couple with three bolts. He is always walking up to her and starting an Argue. I don't even cancel it out of his queue anymore, as their relationship dips, she grabs him and make out with him, and the relationship bounces back to the high nineties. They're just that kind of couple. Obviously fighting turns him on.
In fact, the whole thing sounds funky, as while some of my Sims develop big hates for townies and dormies, given a choice most of mine would rather be friends. Sims are very social, even the unsociable ones. That's why Bachelor Challenges work.

However, if the new couple consists of one very neat, mean sim, and a sloppy Libra or Sagittarius, and there is no nopuddlerage in the hacks folder, then every time that sloppy sim has a shower, the mean, neat one will fume at all the puddles they leave behind. In one game where I was playing Don Lothario, his new maid accepted a 100 simoleons tip, swooned over him, then came back in the middle of the night and kicked over his trash can!
If you must have mean sims, better they are Leos and sloppy - they'll still kick over trashcans and steal newspapers, but since they are also outgoing, they have an overriding desire to make friends! Some of my most popular (among other sims) have been Leos with complete outgoing and playful, which leaves very little points for the other traits!
