Rummaging in front of the neighbors -- why don't they care?
Doc Doofus:
Okay, this bothers me, but it's not a bug, just lazy design, perhaps. But shouldn't the neighbors do something when they can clearly see you rummaging in their trash? In the real world, you'd at least get a question, "Uh, can I help you, Doof?"
I think rummagers should have to show a little more caution. Rummaging during the daytime should be a no-no, interrupted by the police. (I suppose law enforcement careers should get a freebie on this from fellow officers, FISA warrants and all that.) If the homeowners are outside, on the property, day or night, they should interrupt it and chase off the rummager.
Caught rummagers should get a brief negative moodlet and they should lose a few relationship points with the family they rummaged, but not enough to start a family feud.
Silverdrake:
I agree! I just had a sim rummaging through the Wolff's garbage today, and Thornton came home and invited my sim inside, stink and all.
J. M. Pescado:
They do normally react, but there are a lot of fidgety variables involved.
moondance:
I've had a few react negatively, but my favorite was just...odd. My sim was rummaging though a garbage can when another sim--not the resident of the home, just a random sim--happened to walk by. This random sim stopped and indicated he'd like to chat with my sim, who kept on rummaging. The random sim stood around for another moment or two then whipped out his guitar and started playing. Any audience will do, I guess.
dorquemada:
Funny. My rummagers always get interrupted and insulted if noticed, and not just by trashbin's owner. I eventually moved all activities into the night shift.
