im having the same issue but its only one of my sims and its a spell caster. with empty inventory but realised the familier was active. once i dismissed it, it worked ok for me

[crinrict]

@Zandalee1993 Is that the only Sim you have issues with or does it happen for all Sims ?

Is the Sim some kind of occult ?

[crinrict]

@Zandalee1993 Are you still having issues with this ?

[GoldBronzer]

maybe your playable sim is magician, if it is true, that is bug not only u. and it is not patched yet. this bug is from their flying broom and its maybe overlap by skii.
just wait it when EA get pixed.

@GoldBronzer I tested both Vampires and Spellcasters and they work fine for me despite broom/mist/bat

Are you saying this doesn't work for spellcasters for your or is this meant as a suggestion for the reason ?

@rqdechi_town Merging this with the thread on familiar as it sounds like the same issue.

Could someone test if the same happens if you have a leashed dog ?

[rqdechi_town]

I tested with a leashed dog and ended up in the same situation as the drone. The actions are faded out with a "action not possible here"

[crinrict]

@rqdechi_town Thank you for testing.

So I guess it's all interaction where you have something following you. I would say it's probably a design choice to have it this way but the message could be better.
