Summary
- Some The Sims 4 players consider clay lumps the “most annoying” object in the game.
- Clay in The Sims 4 can appear randomly or be caught while fishing, which drives some players crazy.
- While clay can help Sims improve their skills, players are frustrated by its random appearance and tendency to multiply.
Several The Sims 4 players have named clay lumps the “most annoying” object in the franchise’s history. Following a social media post from a The Sims 4 fan complaining about a piece of clay in their virtual house, many players in the community chimed in to vent about how annoying they find this object to be.
The Sims 4 allows players to create their own virtual family, design their house, and be an active spectator of their lives—from birth to the first day of school, their first job, and their last day before passing. The Sims 4 has remained popular over the years, primarily because of how it emulates human life with a fun approach. Even though players are the masterminds dictating their Sims’ lives, they cannot always control 100% of their actions. Sometimes, family members do annoying or even dangerous things, like starting a fire, destroying something, or, as weird as it sounds, getting obsessed with clay.
The Sims 4 Players Shouldn't Sleep on One Common Household Item
The Sims 4 players can't miss out on this essential Buy item that combines home clutter and functionality to change the entire household.
A player known as Proof-Razzmatazz1716 took to Reddit to name lumps of modeling clay as the most annoying thing in the game. Lump molding clay can be used to improve Pottery Skill in The Sims 4, though Sims would constantly pull one out of nowhere and start shaping it, even when they’re supposed to be doing something else—driving some players crazy. Proof-Razzmatazz1716's post gained some traction, and many players poured in to echo the player’s sentiment about the clay.
Players Claim Clay Lumps Are the Most Annoying Object in The Sims 4
One player complained about not even knowing where the clay comes from, saying it probably just spawns randomly. Another player responded, saying that Sims can catch them while fishing and that NPCs can leave a lump of clay at the house. One optimistic fan mentioned they’ve started to appreciate clay, as it can be used as an easy way to give Sims the inspired moodlet.
Additionally, the player also revealed that molding clay is a good and easier way to develop pottery skills in The Sims 4's Businesses and Hobbies Expansion Pack. Nevertheless, the player did complain about lumps of clay being some kind of “infestation or invasive plant,” as they just appear and then multiply. For those who want to get rid of them, a player suggests shift-clicking the clay with cheats enabled and selecting "Destroy Object (DEBUG)" to instantly delete it on sight. While players continue finding ways to deal with annoying lumps of clay, The Sims 4 continues to evolve, with the latest update, released on April 2, adding free decorations, tattoos, clothing with a Pride theme, and more.
