No stupid stranger behavior - ever.
Ancient Sim:
Some Sims are happy to be admired by strangers, usually Romance or Popularity ones, or maybe it's Family, can't remember now. Otherwise I agree, it's extremely annoying and I always cancel it out if I see it. 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. Let's face it, they have no real idea how to deal with people they've just met anyway.
Sandilou:
I think that they used the same Maxian programming code as they did in Superstar; it's the same type of behaviour as the fans showed for those successful Superstars, aka adoring fan mode. (Lazy programmers).
veilchen:
I agree, 'admire' is the wrong word. "Compliment" would be a better choice, and far more applicable. I can compliment people on a well thought out idea, a well written article, or even a nice (or intriguing) outfit, but I don't admire them because of that. Maybe it's because I'm very bad at 'gushing' or other such useless/phony interactions. I find such interactions extremely nauseating.

That's what it was called in TS1. I don't really dig gushing, though. It's annoying. If you gush at me, I will helpfully remind you that you are dumb that your gloves are stupid.

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,
Vicki
I love grouchy Sims. One of my kids was born with 1 nice point and she's hilarious. When she plays Cops and Robbers, when the other child "dies", she goes over and (pretend) kicks them. I find 3-4 nice points optimal. Grouchy Sims are very nice to friends and family members (as long as relationship scores are good). I don't generally have trouble making friends for them, especially with Auto Yak-Yak, Macro Socialize, or a chess table.
