My geek sim was sad because I didn't throw her a birthday party. I never throw birthday parties for my sims - the last one I threw was years ago, in TS2, for Johnny Smith the last time I restarted Strangetown. I only threw that party because it's unavoidable if you want to play the Smith family.
Can we have a stomp on that moodlet, I don't see why a geek sim (who doesn't know anyone outside her household anyway) should be sad because I ~didn't~ invite a ton of strangers around to help her celebrate her birthday. It seems to me that not having strangers about is a reason to be happy.
I found that my Geek Sim was perfectly happy when I baked him a cake and made him blow out the candles; he was Happy about his "birthday party." So I don't think you have to go through the whole party thing.
The same thing happened with her son when he grew into a teen. I was trying to squeeze out the last point of mental skill for his childhood aspiration, so didn't want to age him up until the last possible minute. Aging up a sim using cake takes my sims away from whatever I've told them to do, and is a waste of time since the sim will age up anyway without one, so I'd really like the "sad moodlet because I didn't get a party/cake" thing stomped regardless of the sim's traits or age.
I gave him the loner trait when he turned 12, but his social is draining faster than anyone else in the family. I would have thought a loner would have had a slower social drain rate. This is my first household in the game, and this is the first 12 I've played so I don't know if the faster social drain is a glitch with the loner trait or if it's because he's a 12. If it's a glitch, it needs to be stomped.
IIRC, there was a mod in the Director's Cut for Sims 2 that would stop sims from traipsing all over the house to find a chair to sit & drink coffee, the mod forced the sims to use a closer chair. I think we need a version of that for eating in Sims 4. Don't take your food into the living room to eat sitting on the sofa just because there's someone to talk to in there, when there's a perfectly good chair & table in the room you're in.

A way to tone down the weight gain/muscle building. I like the concept, but it seems really extreme right now.
The above along with a reduction in the number of people dropping in the street to do pushups and situps. Maybe only athletic aspiration sims should be so inclined.

- Stop talking so damn much and eat your food. You have work. Seriously, they talk so much it takes them over an hour to eat half the time, unfinished plates everywhere.
I hated this in TS2, and another strike against playing TS4 until a mod is released to stop it. My sims would often die from hunger in TS2 because they were too busy talking to eat and it would often take 2-3 hours to eat one plate, in some cases the food would spoil before they finished eating.
This is sounding more like they took the worst aspects of all the series and mashed them into the new game, rather than taking the best bits and making a killer game.

At the moment what annoys me the most is that I can't download the new patches manually.
They just released a second patch that fixes the demon baby glitch and I need that baaaaaaaaadly .. dang it!

I feel in the middle on bills. Every time they come now, I actually get sad because I know a huge chunk of money is going to be gone. In Sims 1, 2, and 3, I literally never cared about bills. So, I think it's a step in the right direction.
I agree, I like that it actually costs money now and you have to worry about bills. However, it would be nice if there was some sort of "You are going to have a bill of $x,xxx.xx due next Tuesday", so that you could budget for it and not spend it on something new.
Also, as a random note, I wish the daily tasks for work/school were a little less buried.
