Sims autonomously doing activities they dislike

[Citysim9997]

Shows what a waste of time i did, selecting Likes/Dislikes for my entire population one by one which which tooks me many rl days.

Despite every sim I know off has preferences, it doesn't those pop-ups interrupting the game, telling me <Name> doesn't appear to be having a great time, should he dislike <title>, etc.

Same issue here. From what i'd heard likes and dislikes was supposed to stop them auto doing the acivity but clearly it has not turned out that way.

I have a similar problem with a sim that dislike mischievous, but keeps scaring the other sim and playing tricks with the toilet autonomous, and always get the bubble telling they dislike it. This wasn't something that sim usually did before.

My sim hates dancing and she keeps going to the stereo to dance then getting upset about it.

Mine are worse, My Dislike Dancing sims don't only just Dance, they also dance to music genre they Dislike. at the same time

My Sim dislikes electronica but she keeps opening the radio to listen to electronica and she bounces her head to the beat, even though she dislikes it. It's the only thing I've noticed so far.

I having this bug too. Sims that dislikes dancing are autonomously dancing all the time to the stereo. Even if I constantly cancel the action, they are soon there to dance again. They get a tensed moodlets from this, and after a while they get the Madness moodlet from performing a disliked activity for a long time. But that don't make them stop dancing  

The sim dancing in the attached image has the traits: Insane, Cat lover, Gregarious

I still have this issue. It occur with Mischief & Dancing (what I seen so far). The problem with these skills has been in the game for very long (before Favorite&Dislikes), sims seems to leaning towards Dancing and Mischief (trolling on the computer) when autonomy is on. I hope sims can lean towards Favorited activities instead of these two (if they are Negative / Neutral for Dancing & Mishief). I can share a save if it possible to do so without sharing any personal info (mail adress etc, this will be shown if using Drive?). But I guess these skills cause problems in all games (so I'm not sure if my savefile would help?). BTW I have never used mods.

As the image show: The sim dislike Mischief but autonomsly start to Trolling on the computer.

I've experienced this so much in my game I just turned autonomy off. I've had several sims that dislike mischief engage in mischief interactions with each other. A sim will also spend all day "troll teh forums". Had the same issue with music as mentioned above and with choosing fitness over other preferred activities. Disabling autonomy is the only way to prevent these behaviors but that's not a viable solution.
