[OPEN] [S] Sims constantly open and close Umbrellas while they walk

[JackOnYourBack]

This issue is so annoying. It's been around since the expansion released. I had rotated away to then come back to my main household only for them to again have umbrellas. Of course they were in Granite Falls that you can't edit (to add the umbrella rack) to remove the umbrellas, so you are forced to deal with the buggy umbrellas. I never get an action in the queue to x out when they carry umbrellas. So they open and close the umbrella every other step wherever they went until it annoyed me so much I sent them home to put away the umbrellas for the nth time.

I also have issues with sims interacting with objects, like collecting or things they need their hands, bum or whole body for, as well as NPCs sims and active sims relating to the umbrellas. Today my active sim was supposed to woohoo with another sim from another active (but not right now) household who had an umbrella. The went to the observatory only to drop the queue and reset. The guy with the umbrella reset halfway into the observatory every time. My sim went in like usual but when he was to follow he reset the whole interaction because he couldn't put the umbrella away.

Adding another "me, too" here, and I'm in the camp with those who are saying there was no way to cancel the action. My Sim was attempting to walk across the island with the Shipwreck and must have opened/closed his umbrella at least 25 times. I finally just had to travel away to his home lot, where I promptly got rid of the umbrella. Talk about an annoying bug!

How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? Newest, updated fully
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but parenthood and toddler stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Send your sim on a walk while it rains and try to have them do things during this walk. It should show that they walk a few steps open close umbrella and walk a few steps repeat
What happens when the bug occurs? The sum walks a bit with umbrella open, then closes, walks a bit, opens, closes. Takes forever to get anywhere
What do you expect to see? A walk with umbrella open the whole way. Or just not use it and we can chose if they use it

Sims will no longer obsessively open and close their umbrellas while walking to chat with another Sim.

I had this happen today :/ I recorded it. 

Everything is up to date 

[crinrict]

@jessw89 As this was a fixed a few patches ago, it's best to create a new thread.

Thanks.

@crinrict Was this patched on both console and PC or just PC? 

[crinrict]

@tonycervera52 For both to my knowledge. There's only like 2-3 bugs that haven't been patched for console.

If you still see this, create a new thread please.
