TO BE CLEAR - my problem is that PATCHY is making these concoctions, so I can't even lock him out.....

This bug was fixed, but it’s back ever since I added Cottage Living. I haven’t noticed visiting Sims starting the concoction on the grill this time, but I’ve had a few left on the stove.

I am also having this issue, both random sims CONSTANTLY making concoctions, and then any sims including my own switching to the stove and back again.

 

In terms of NPCs, at the very least, shouldn't they need to have the herbalism skill to be able to do this? And the stove thing is is such a pain, because it prevents my own sims from using the stove to cook other things. I can't have a party because the guests spend all their time making concoctions on the stove--literally, it's almost constant, my sims can't even get in between concoctions to interact with their guests, let alone use the stove to serve them any actual food for the party. 

 

This has to be a bug, right? If it is by design, it is such POOR design I can't even believe it.

@Fanphoria  that's not related to this issue that's specifically about the grill animation sequence switching to the stove.

What you're describing about the sims making concoctions autonomously is not a bug, it's part of the Self Sufficiency Neighbourhood Action Plan from Eco Lifestyle. If you have that plan active in your neighbourhood, sims will seek out grills to make stress relief potions.

Because that isn't a bug, they aren't likely to fix it. To work around it, you can block access to the stove with a locked gate or repeal the Self Sufficiency Neighbourhood Action Plan. Or, if you simply want to tone it down so that they don't do it as often, you can look into mods like my Eco Lifestyle Interactions Fixes mod, which you can find a link to in the approved game fixing mods thread stickied at the top of the Bug Forum.

Platform: PC

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.67.45.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them. Even the kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Watch the NPC Hermit from Granite Falls in his secret lot and stay there for a few days.
What happens when the bug occurs? The NPC will autonomously start to brew a de-stressing decoction on the grill, but when reaching the middle part of the recipe they will transition over to a stove to finish the potion. He will either finish the decoction and drink it or leave it halfway done. He never prepares anything else. He eventually dies of starvation.
What do you expect to see? The entire interaction only taking place on the grill and not transitioning to a stove. + THE HERMIT BEING ABLE TO AUTONOMOSLY FIX HIS NEEDS. Otherwise he dies of starvation.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No. Nothing.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not that I remember
