Note: I don't have DHD but a champion (jpkarlsen) suggested I post here.
While I'm glad that my Sims like the way I've decorated their home, maybe they don't have to CONSTANTLY stare at paintings whenever there's not something in their queue. (Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic, I was delighted when I did a teen age-up room reno and she got a very happy beautifully decorated moodlet from her new bedroom. Ditto for when I was satisfaction point farming for the Charms with Mansion Baron and Gemma, an art lover, went from painting to painting being very happy. On the other hand, if you've lived there for a while maybe you don't have to look at every painting constantly (unless you're an art lover?). Both of those incidents predate the patch to support DHD, which I don't have.)
It's not the painting admiring that I object to--I like art, too!--and more that it seems too frequent. I've seen my Sims look at art before, but it seems to happen a lot more often now. They're not waking up in the middle of the night to do it, but it's a new, very repetitive idle.
[Edited to add...]
Wait, is it because she's a scientist? Her scientist husband doesn't look at art to persistently....

Exact same issue here. The sim will cancel any current action (or queued actions) to go assess decor. Also, the action for doing this doesn't always appear in their action queue, they just do it. If the action does appear, cancelling doesn't work. Even with autonomy turned off.

I'm also seeing this. It's very annoying. especially when my sim is tired and really needs to sleep and has to work the next morning. I really hope this is something that will be fixed in the next patch.

Ps4, same problem
July 2021
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.76.81.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set a like for a decor style and place objects from that style in bedroom.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims will wake up from sleeping in a bed to admire a piece of furniture in a style that is part of their likes.
What do you expect to see? Sims sleeping through the night until you wake them up or they complete the sleep action (if there are no disturbances that would normally wake up a sim).
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Dream Home Decorator game pack and patch with likes/dislikes update.
Sims will wake up from sleeping in a bed (when need is not full) between 3-4:30am to admire a piece of furniture in a style that is part of their likes. The thought bubble for the style and the green happy face appears. Sometimes they walk over to the object and clap their hands. If there is more than one sim in the household, only one sim will do it, and it happens almost every night. It has happened in households both with pets and without, since the sim is not being woken up by a pet when this happens. It will also happen if one sim is awake at the time and the other is sleeping; the sleeping sim will wake up to admire the style of an object.
I need to test if this still occurs when there are objects in a style that is part of their dislikes and if they wake up to express disgust in the object. I also need to test with adjusting sleep schedules to see if one of them will do this action around the same time (3-4:30am) if both sims are awake and if sleeping during the day is interrupted to admire objects. I will update the thread when I've tested this.

I am also having this issue.
I have noticed that it happens for me around the same time every night, between 3 and 4:30am, regardless of the status of the energy need, the time remaining in the sleep task, or how recently they went to bed. If there is more than one sim in the household, only one sim will do it, and it happens almost every night. It has happened in households both with pets and without, since the sim is not being woken up by a pet when this happens. It will also happen if one sim is awake at the time and the other is sleeping; the sleeping sim will wake up to admire the decor style of an object.
It started happening after installing both the update with the likes/dislikes system and the Dream Home Decorator pack.

Ever since I got dream home decorator my sims will stop what they are doing to go look at decorations. It doesn't show up in the queue they get out of bed or stop what they are supposed to be doing to walk up 3 flights of stairs to look at an empty vase in the corner and the little decor bubble pops up with a smiley face.
