Sims with "Active" Trait Glitching

[charliesaysgo]

@crinrict Thank you! I tried looking through some of the past threads and hadn't seen it (which was weird because this is a long-time bug) and you gave me a home! lol Thanks again!

I didn't know this was an issue until I moved my main family to the suburbs and gave them a basketball hoop. The mom, who has the active trait, just leaves the pan in the stove to play. I've just gave up on her cooking and now the father is responsible for that until they can tone this down.

This has happened with 2 families of mine so far. They drop what I tell them to do in their queue to play basketball. I'll exit out of basketball in their queue and try to direct them to do another task such as programming and they do it for a few seconds of real-time and then the basketball shooting comes back in the queue. I must really have a lot of ballers among me.

• Sims with the active trait should no longer attempt “Close Shot” and “Dream Big” interactions on the basketball hoop every waking second of the day. This has been tuned down significantly.

Fixed in Patch 1.32.1

You haven't fixed City living Dream big spam properly. It's not the fact that they do Dream big that the issue, it's the fact it interrupts what they are command to do as well as maintaining their own needs. Here is what happen you sim is low on hygiene you send it to take a shower in the middle of it's shower before it's even close to clean it'll interrupt that action and run outside to dream big. This happens with eating, sleeping, and even using the toilet. Fix the command it'self to wait in que properly and then sims wont suffer from it and people might even enjoy playing an active sim again while having a basket ball court outside their house. My solution to your current situation with addressing the dream big issue is the same as before that patch. not to have one on my home lot if the sim is an active one.

it isn't that they do dream big or even pop it into que . the problem is that it cancels all other actions and interrupts the current action.

Hi @alamna74

I merged your post with the bug report.

I'll do some testing on this.

Although it says that this bug has been fixed, I must say that it still happens on my account, I already made sure that no mods were installed and repaired sims from origin app I also removed all cached info, my sim will always stop any task to go Dream Big, the only solution was to remove the hoops, but I'd very much like to have them back.

I haven't noticed any change, Sims with the active trait are still constantly rushing to dream big. I opted to remove the active trait rather than the hoop
