This new furious state
Motoki:
It seems like the neat freak sims are all like this now. They fly off the handle like Joan Crawford anytime there's any sort of mess ("I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt!"). Even toddlers do it. I think I may have to start encouraging sloppiness a little bit now at least to get them down enough so they are not so obssessive compulsive.

But obsessive compulsive is fun! </sarcasm>
Neat freak sims were already obsessive compulsive. This is just icing on the cake. The way they eat, for example: "Cut food into roughly microscopic pieces, put one piece into mouth without allowing it to touch anything but the end of the fork, chew exactly 30 times, floss, repeat." Don't remember who I'm quoting that from, but it's an excellent one, and it's someone on here.

That almost entirely doesn't make sense. Isn't that kind an unreasonable reaction? Are sims now doomed to throw a spaz everytime something breaks or is messed? Also, you seem to have a problem if your sims are peeing themselves. Maybe you need a bathroom uses you?
This was a community lot, not a home lot. If I added bathroomusesyou I'd have to do it everytime I went in as nothing stays permanently and it would take forever to go into each lot in buy/build mode to add stuff. I don't mind them getting irritated by this sort of thing (they would in real life - being 0 in Neat myself I know that from experience) and it certainly helps if you want a marriage or whatever to deteriorate, but when it's someone they've never met and they go down to almost -50/-50 (which means there is a strong chance of a fight next time they encounter that person) it's rather OTT.
I suppose it might make more sense in a relationship if the annoyance were to increase the more the guilty party messed-up, although there should be some way of them being able to improve their lack of neatness, which in the case of adults there isn't. No matter how hard they might try (or not), Sims with lack of neatness are going to create pools of water after a shower, so telling them off is basically non-productive.

I like the new furious state except for one thing - the relationships improve way too fast.
Their relationship got to -98/-98. Within three Sim days *both* numbers were back in the positive!
Strange, for me its quite the opposite. I mean, i don't know, its very strange i can't figure it out.
My sims seem to be furious for a longer time with someone if i keep then in touch. the more i interact the two the less that red layer will wear off. Its strange!!
Ludmila's boyfriend flirted with someone else in front of her, and she got furious with him, going to -90/-90!
it has passed almost two semesters and her red layer with him is not even in the middle, however it is almost over with the other girl he flirted. Also it is odd, because i kept them apologizing and interacting and her relationship score to him is now positive, but she is more than half-furious with him!!
This happens for all sims in my game that is furious with someone and keeps interacting with him.
I think the furious state actually wears off faster with they don't interact
Process Denied:
I just started playing Veronaville for the first time after NL. It is so cool. It always annoyed me--the rift between the families--because nothing ever becomes of it. Except Tybalt and Mercutio--but you have to tell them to fight. Well, Consort was downtown with his new bimbo wife,and he just got done making out with her,when Isabella attact him. It was so funny. I think I'm going to like playing Veronaville better now. They are even attracted to each other, which makes it even more fun.
