Sims finding new routes for walking stand still for hours.
nanacake:
In TS2 it took me a while to figure out that sims could walk between a sofa and a bed, and that a dining chair that was tucked away could still be in front of a counter that was in use and work. For TS3 I can have two sims in the park between each other "you are standing in my way" glare repeatedly even though there is a LOT of space! It happens less now with awesomemod, seems to resolve faster still makes no sense why they have this animation at all. They should have made them able to walk past each other regardless if they step on their feet. (Though that might have lead to a more annoying animation with EA's sense of humor)
chaos:
Games I was playing a decade ago had better AI than TS3.
*chaos hiss at EA
moondance:
Yeah, and I especially love it when two sims actually merge with one another and THEN both stop and give the "why are you blocking my way" expression--and just stand there like a two-headed four-armed monster for the next few moments. They've already walked halfway through one another, why not just keep on going? Honestly, rather than the way it is NOW, I'd prefer it if sims did just walk through one another without hesitation. Cars and bicycles can do it, why not sims?

Have you noticed the following:
Two Sims want to have a conversation so they walk all around the house to find a place to face each other?
You tell a Sim to call someone and they walk through 3 rooms to find a place to use their cellphone or better yet always go in the bathroom to use the cellphone?
And don't even get me started on more than one Sim using a flight of stairs.
But all in all in my game they do work it out everytime without getting stuck, just the useless running all over the place to get in position.

Yep. It's irritating. And really, how difficult is it to find a spot to stand and talk? Or hell they can sit for all I care.

They've done 3 games now and it's been nearly 10 years and yet still somehow the bathroom remains a place of choice to do socializing. ::)

I've gone over to having them teleport to get upstairs and teleport home to go downstairs. The stairs irritate me to no end! I just wish the damned sims would autonomously teleport.
