They also pop up after theyā€™ve satisfied their needs like sleep or eating. Iā€™ve checked the needs of both zois in my household and they each get the popup warning even though all of their needs are full and met. The warning comes up at least 5 to 6 times in one Zoi day but doesnā€™t show up when their needs are actually low. I purposely let my zoiā€™s hunger go in the red and the warning didnā€™t pop up until after she ate a full meal. - Please see screenshot ---

Iā€™m having this exact same issue on my MacMini M4 16GB RAM. I get notifications from Psycat about low needs several times during a zoiā€™s day, when their needs are all fine or fully met. It doesnā€™t make a difference whether I have autonomy switched to on or off ā€” I still get the notifications. ---

Donā€™t worry, the devs will definitely try to figure out a solution. I assume one of us veteran forum users tried to help with your topic and couldnā€™t find a proper workaround because most of us are not using Mac currently šŸ™‚ ---

Is there a way to toggle off that notification altogether? I would actually find it annoying and unnecessary even if my zoiā€™s needs were very low, so would like to never see that pop-up at all. As a Sims player for over 20 years, I feel Iā€™m quite capable of managing their needs šŸ™‚ ---

Yes! Iā€™d love to turn off all Psycatā€™s notifications, because theyā€™re mostly useless to most players. ---
