I'm liking the sound of that hack, so I do think that I'll add it to my game. Anything to shake things up and makes them interesting. Well, maybe not ACR... my sims are all horndogs as it is. It's nice to hear that non-family sims might get family related wants. Some of those things, if they do happen, would make things interesting. And I've always wanted to see more sims get the want to become a rock star, but now it's limited to romance.
I'm hoping that InSIM (when it is actually updated, and not just my wishful thinking *sigh*) will give an option to change it, like it does for LTWs and turn ons, etc. That would be the easiest way to deal with it.
I've seen a hack to stop those animations, though I probably won't use it unless they do it way too much. I tend to like that "annoying" habits, like the constant autonomous dirty jokes and pillow fights. They amuse me.
About having all their needs set to full... you could use the InSIM motive adjuster to reduce their energy meter. That's an easy way to get them on the right sleep schedule again. I fiddle with that a lot to do things in the story (like getting Johnny and Ripp to stand up at the toilet instead of sit *snicker*, which is dependent on the level of the bladder meter - when they REALLY have to go, it's always no. 2). It's easy to do, and you can always adjust it back afterwards if you need to.
The chemistry system must have caused a bit of an uproar when it was first introduced, because of the existing characters. Thankfully, they included that method of changing turn ons. I always change the turn ons to suit my own needs. It's a minor part of the chemistry anyway (I'm sure that aspiration and personality/zodiac plays a much bigger role), so I just set it to suit my needs. If two characters are already attracted, I change the turn ons to enhance it.
Yeah, apparently, the sims can participate in any hobby, regardless of their OTH, so it's only a minor gripe.
