Talking to fake people on the 'net doesn't make you feel a little less alone?
Moo?

It's bad enough that it clogs up your want panel with "Talk about Hobby" and "Blog about Hobby". And yet, talking about an associated interest doesn't actually fulfil the first want. Idiotic.
Some people have tons of fun blogging IRL, but a computer game where you watch somebody blog? Yawny.
Also, blogging should raise a sim's social.
Agree on raising the social. If I've only got one or two sims in a house, they don't get to blog (and I might not buy them a computer, just to avoid stupid computer behavior in general). If I have four or more, I might let a sim blog just because it'll keep him occupied and not doing anything ridiculously stupid for a few hours while I deal with the ones who need attention.

My Sports and Fitness sims do a lot of blogging because it is so very ironic.
No, actually, it's because I'm sick of seeing everyone wandering around in workout clothes all the damn time. I don't know why that irks me so, but it does. I wish they'd automatically change back to their normal outfits once they're done sporting and fitnessing like they do when they're done with the ballet bar.
I also can't stand when the childrens are wandering around in their private school uniforms. AND I don't allow anyone to wear pajamas past 7 a.m.
ETA - I'm glad I'm not the only one who drags down the aspiration meter for adults about to transition to elder. I've been doing that since the dawn of Uni because it's all just too much. I would really love a "rant about EVERYTHING" interaction for the old folks. They could've been made way more hilarious and fun. Mrs. Crumplebottom is fun because she is drunk and mad. No one else is fun.

I leave sims in their PJ's later on the weekends (for that lazy Sunday vibe ;p), but I'm with you on the school unis. That's why I've taken to stashing a less obtrusive wardrobe near the front door, so the kids can make it their 2nd stop after the One Desk (and so adults can change out of their dumb work togs without spending an hour tromping up to their bedroom). This function really should have been coded into the otherwise useless coat rack. Why the fancy hell does the coat rack not have a 'change to normal' feature?

This would be a fun interaction! I can see it being accepted/rejected, depending on their relationship to the recipient, along with the recipient's current mood/personality. Sims who like them and are in a good mood will be happy to let them vent. Sims who like them but are feeling cranky won't be in the mood for it but will put up with it if they're Nice enough. Nice strangers will listen politely, and pissed off strangers will have none of it.

For me, it kind of depends of the absurdity of the work uniform. Walking around the house in something like the french fry head thing or an astronaut space suit is kind of funny, so I just let them.
I can not stand Criminal Mastermind or Captain Hero's outfit though...and also whatever the hell that thing is they wear when they get to the top of the gamer career. It's Game Designer, right? Do you think Eaxians dress like that to go to work? That's kind of a charming mental picture.
ETA - I also really love that silly frilly thing the men wear when they get to the top of the dance career. I let them wear that one around the house for awhile when they get home too.
