No stupid stranger behavior - ever.
nectere:
Actually I was wondering if you would consider addressing the constant admiration interaction with strangers. It works much like the hugging and stranger dance, its just a bad interaction to try on a stranger and never works. I suppose people walk up to complete strangers and admire them in real life, but I havent seen it and would likely think I was in some kind of creepy "camp" and freak if I did.

I think this is mostly a nice-sim problem. The acceptance bounds on the interaction appear roughly correct, but nice sims tend to overestimate the relationship involved, and thus fail. Make your sims grouchier. Then you won't have this problem. Grouchy sims, I find, rarely fail socials like that. I mean, sure, they poke, annoy, and insult people, but at least they're choosing an appropriate interaction for their relationship level!

That's certainly the way the sims react to it also.

JM, I know you like your sims grouchy, but what do you consider to be the maximum reasonable niceness? Would 7 be under the creepy-too-nice limit?
Thanks,

I always make my sims 5 nice, or they have trouble making friends, and I don't really enjoy the fighting unless I'm not particularly attatched to the sim. If it's a sim I don't "know" (like the cop and the burglar), it's pretty funny.

I consider 4 a good limit. 7 is a little on the high side. Of course, some sims end up creepy that way because I simply don't have the time or appropriate influence to resolve it, but hey, like in real life, some people are losers.
