Odd things I noticed about Seasons

One thing I noticed is that the Prima guide seems to say that you can "serve juice" (it mentions a batch of juice that serves 6 only needs 6 pieces of fruit, where serving one - say orange juice - takes 4 pieces) - but I don't get that option. The juice maker only makes one glass, and I can't even get the person making it to put it down (even by canceling as soon as they finish making it) so that a child can drink it. It would be nice to let kids drink the apple juice to do their homework faster, or orange juice if they get sick.
I was having the same problem, apparently because I made the silly mistake of thinking Prima was right about only needing 3X the amount. I'd been blaming it on an un-updated hack, and had taken it out last night, but hadn't gotten back in yet to test it. But with enough fruit stocked, I get the serve option now, even with it back in . Am I the only one who thinks needing 36 pieces of fruit for 6 glasses is a bit excessive? ::)

Now my problem, my sims seem to have worse A.D.D then i do, i give them something in que and move onto another sim and give them something and they all just drop it out of que. Now i don't mean the i put it there and they drop it imidiately problem, i mean i put it there and they think of something "better" to do on the way. Nothing is blocked, i'm hack free. They were doing this the first two times i played without custom enabled.
Also, the "whats this?" reutine they go through when you get a new item seems to be worse like its more attractive to them since install. They will drop everything in que to go see this new light and complain about it, it just seems like its much more urget to them now. But they don't do it with the "its snowing" icon that comes up in their que when its snowing that stays as second in que.
they're also Not taking care of their most urgent needs. Their Hunger is barly past 50% but their Bladder is nearly at zero and they go out of their way to make a sandwich. They're going to pee themselves and they go to bed instead, or shower. They're falling asleep at zero but they want a shower with 50% hygine... they have the need in que to take care of it themselves but will drop it to do somthing else. This is all on freewill by the way because thats how i play.
and everytime i turn around they're bathing a damn baby or toddler or taking a bubble bath.
anyone else notice these things or is it just my game?
I've only gotten to play through winter and spring so i don't know wether its a season connection or wether it will keep up through the year ... and its spring and they still change into outerwear. that going to get annoying if they keep it up...

FREE WILL BAD! POWER IDLE GOOD!
For the What's This? problem, download nowhatsthis. Every other problem you're having would appear to be caused by free will, which should be disabled and replaced by Power Idle and the Baby Controller.
EDIT: Wait a minute. I recognize your username. Weren't you that person who got hacked and started spamming Retardo Land a couple of weeks ago?

Use JMP's nowhatsthis. I haven't seen the "what's this?" routine since before installing Uni because, no, I don't care what my sims think about the new ceiling light. ::)

Sims have no survival instinct, much less peeing instinct. I've had exactly two sims in a neighborhood of five generations who had the sense to take themselves to the bathroom when they needed to.

Well, it does seem like sims are so much stupider now. I used to be able to leave the game running while I cooked dinner and they'd still be alive. Now, I can't even run to the loo or they'll be dead when I get back. Unfortunately, I like free-will and hate micromanagement...it feels like I'm at work.
The other thing that is pissing me off is their wants. If there is not a skating rink on the lot, don't spin the want! If it's summer, don't want to make a snow angel! I have sims that don't have any aspirational wants whatsoever. I have a family sim that never rolled the want to get married or have kids, a romance sim that never wanted to woohoo, but did want to get married for some reason. Their wants panel is plagued by "go skating", "go fishing", and influence related wants.
