Ridiculous 'follow' obsession
Zazazu:
It's actually 3 bolts. There is no 4. The icon being so small doesn't help, and a lot of simmers imagine it is 4 instead. But yes, I'm right there with you. At some points, the following behavior can have a creepy stalker overtone. I'm thinking specifically of sims following their target while the target is asleep. Reminds me of this roommate I had for a few months. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and she would be standing over me, staring at me. Very creepy.

I give them a reasonably well-equipped nursery with doll's house, toy box and a range of skilling toys, and I let them have free will.
Mine usually get two skilling toys or the activity table, plus a teddy bear. Thank ?TJ? for that hack that stops autonomously talking through the teddy bear. I usually don't give them the toybox as it can get unmanageable in large homes with multiple messy children.

I have more trouble with Sims who insist on stalking their loved one in defiance of the need to eat, sleep and pee than with toddlers "following" their parents. It's an annoyance, but on the scale of annoyances it's at max maybe a 4. My Sims do about 90% of their living on the ground floor, where the nursery is. At the Legacy house, there are two snaps in the nursery, too, which means the babies and toddlers practically never need to eat or pee. They do scream to be let out of their cribs when they wake up, but my Servos are smart enough to go do that right away.
What I AM sick of is adults carrying the toddler upstairs to Bathe Toddler when the Toddler is not dirty! Hygiene 85-95% full, and still they have to carry them upstairs to the bathtub. Cancel the action, and the kiddo is trapped up there.
I've kind of been getting a kick lately out of playing the toddlers to Ask For Attention or Ask For Food and see if the adults have a clue what the kid wants. Is there a challenge that involves toddlers and never playing the adult--just the kid to Ask For stuff?

Screaming toddlers. Wolves, who are more attracted to lots with young spawn. I can practically smell the "Dingo Ate My Baby" hack now.
You know, it's occurred to me that I haven't seen a wolf (and rarely a stray) since I installed FT. The skunk comes around all the time, as does the penguin. I've been playing the Desiderata hood, though, and I'm wondering if Pesc's hack to cut down on strays being spawned has something to do with it....

Same here. Not even howling at night. Maybe I need to plop down a Wolf Attraction sign...
HeyYeah:
My toddlers only follow when their motives are too low to continue to skilling but the baby controller hasn't directed anyone to do anything about it.

I fixed that by just not having any bathtubs until I need one, then selling it after it was used. Then I got nobabyharassment and the problem stopped.
