Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Dansk
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.136.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Get famous, cats and dogs and parenthood
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Some sims will not sit down at the computer if I tell them to do something on the computer. So If I tell them to play games on the computer, they will cancel the interaction. But if I make them sit at the desk and then queue up the interaction on the computer they will do it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims cancel the computer interaction if they do not already sit at the desk
What do you expect to see? Sims not cancelling computer interactions.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.136.1210
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except My First Pet Stuff, Spooky Stuff Pack, and Vampires Game Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place a computer or laptop on a desk/surface w/ a chair in the appropriate slot. Select an option on the computer that requires your sim to sit and use it

What do you expect to see? Sims being able to use a computer/laptop without having to micro-manage their movements.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I've tried on all surfaces, but it happens every time.. Hope it's something that can be fixed soon

There's another thread somewhere but could you try below if that helps ?
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Also: Are you locking computers for others ?
Good Luck

I think this might be some of the problems. I have now tried to replicate the problem, but am not able after I take everything off the computer desk. So thank you for the tip and I will look out if I can make it happen even with out clutter.
