No stupid stranger behavior - ever.

Some Sims are happy to be admired by strangers, usually Romance or Popularity ones, or maybe it's Family, can't remember now.
I have a super-grouchy (0 nice points at all) teen fortune sim, Milton Mysterious, who LOVES it when other sims admire him... especially the cute teen Kristy Mills, who he met last night. I hadn't decided who I was going to set her up with before now.
Everybody seems to want to admire him, too, despite his tendency to prank everyone 2 minutes after meeting them.

I think the word "admire" is wrong too, because nobody admires a stranger, at least not openly. What are they admiring them for? It always seems somehow verging on the sexual to me, although it's obviously not meant to be. There are different kinds of admiration obviously, but unless they have a reason to admire them (perhaps because they're the Mayor of Sim City), it makes no real sense.
I thought "admire" was meant to be a sexual action in the game. When I first got the game, I had one of my sims invite the headmaster over and was schmoozing poorly. I told her to admire and suddenly her son was crying and her husband was coming over to slap the headmaster! I cancelled that out, but looked at her memories and saw "Had an Affair with X." I don't know if this has changed since Uni, but I have avoided using that interaction ever since with an attached sim. (nless, of course, they are the only one home.) That's one of my favorite interactions to use when I'm trying to hook someone up though and haven't gotten to an acceptable kissing stage.

My sims don't get crushes from 'admire' at all, they use it when they are friends and all it does is push the friendship rate up. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's due to one of JM's fixes. I have just about all of them in my game, and I seem to remember reading somewhere that 'admire' can produce crushes. It wouldn't surprise me in the least, since the unfixed game had sims develop crushes over 'teaching' and the hand-held thingies.

Admire is not romantic, and never has been. In fact, the AutoSocializer abuses it heavily.

If I saw something around me and my family that had the potential of killing everyone, the last thing that would come to my mind to do would be wasting my time crying...repeatedly.
This gets on my nerves, big time. My sims have no reason to fear illness from roaches, anyway, because I have Carrigon's no sickness from roaches hack. Or whatever it's called. Yet my grown, male sims are bawling like babies, anyway, for the rest of the day. My military general is sobbing in the corner, my captain hero is blubbering in the kitchen...ridiculous.
I have to admit, thought, that I have roachaphobia in real life. I live in the south where we have those big, freaking palmetto bugs, and they always seem to make a beeline for my hair. One landed on my shoulder from behind late the other night. I jumped up, knocking my laptop to the floor, did the Daffy Duck dance for a few minutes (hoo-hoo! hoo-hoo!) then trapped him under an upside-down garbage can next to the couch. It is still waiting for its demise at the hands of my husband. Or the flush of the toilet. And my cats are useless, by the way. They didn't even lift a mighty hunting paw to help me.
