So my sims like to just hang out in the kitchen to eat... they don't even go sit down anywhere (except one child occasionally). I have a table near by with plenty of seating, but still, everyone seems ro just want to eat by the fridge, even if I tell them other wise.
I don't know how to send you a file? But it happens in the homes.

There's currently a new known issue with this. I've merged your post with the thread on that.

My Sims will never sit to watch TV, game, or eat. If I tell a Sim to sit once they've grabbed a plate, then others will follow to sit at the table as well, but otherwise they just eat standing right where they picked up their dish.

Same problem. I did find that if the there is only one space between the coffee table my tv is on and the sofa my sims will then sit down to watch tv. But nothing seems to make them sit down to play video games.

I have seen this too. With a TV/game and a sofa it is just an annoyance. When they do it at the fridge though that causes issues since they block access to the food for all other sims. No one else can eat. Adults that are hungry need a "Hey move buddy" like they have with bathrooms, but instead they just starve. In one house with multiple adults and a grill it has caused an outbreak of grilling.

Yeah I have noticed that too. Even if you tell them to sit down and then watch, they get right back up. Silly since most of the furniture it right there.

Yup, me too.  I have a sim who'll turn on the TV and watch it standing up even though there's a big empty couch in front of the TV.  I hadn't noticed this happening before the toddlers' update, only after it.  From what I can remember pre-update, my other sim would sit down and watch the TV.  Both the positions of the TV and the couch are in the same place before and after the update.

Yes these bugs are quite annoying to be honest. Before the patches my sims always used to sit down to watch TV, and play games on the consoles, now they always stand, it only happens very rarely that they actually sit down. Frown
