QUESTIONS

Why do the Sims keep turning around and yelling at me with these funny symbols above their heads in these balloons?

Since you're taking care of the Sims like you would pets, they often turn to you when one of their needs isn't being met. It's then up to you to decide how to fulfill them. Each symbol that appears above their head corresponds to a need they have that is running low. A toilet symbol means they have to go the bathroom. A shower symbol means that they need to take a bath. A hamburger symbol means they're hungry. A flashing red and white symbol with a man and a woman in it means they're lonely. A symbol of a couch means their body aches and they need comfort. A symbol of a bed means that they're sleepy. And a symbol with what looks like musical notes and fun things means they're bored. 

If you want the yelling to go away, just fulfill whatever need the sim is complaining about. Then the whining will go away-- well, that is, unless they have something new to complain about!
