It is now 2021 and this issue has not been resolved during patches. Another problem I’m having is my sim won’t go through a door that isn’t even locked. I have to replace the door, which is something I shouldn’t have to do if this was fixed. A third issue is the kitchen sink being ignored to wash dishes. The last one I’ve had to remove everything above the sink for the sim to wash dishes but I shouldn’t even have to do that! Nor does the dishwasher work right half the time. These problems happen in different households. I’m very upset that these issues have not been fixed in a patch. These issues have been going on for at least 2 years.

I see this is about a specific light bulb but I find that this issue happens to me too with other light bulbs. I do happen to have the lightbulb on the lot but I find that sometimes the autolights just stay on even when no one is in the room. Reloading the lot usually resolves this but it eventually comes back

Also having the same issue. I have all of the packs and kits installed, and have removed all CC and mods. Repaired game, updated game, etc.

I have the same issue! no mods installed. It also happens randomly, definitely started happening after one of the last 4 updates we've had so far, because i have never encountered this issue before. I have cleared the cache on my game as well, I'm sure that matters.

This happens occasionally to me and usually if I go in and delete the affected lights and replace with new ones it fixes the problem. however today it occurred in a room and I have removed the lights and replace them several times and still they will not turn off when my Sim leaves the room. I’m on Xbox.
It’s not all rooms of the house just the living room.
