Sim Constantly Drinking Water

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? 1.82.99.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape,
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a Sim and a sink
What happens when the bug occurs? My Sim constantly stops what they're doing to get a drink of water from the faucet.

I had read that the bug where a Sim constantly stops what they're doing to get a glass of water had been fixed in 2019. It either wasn't for me or it's back because my Sim will constantly stop what she's doing to get a glass of water. Is there any fix for this?

I just wanted to say this is still absolutely an issue!!! As soon as my sim has any free time she will gravitate toward getting a glass of water (even when she has the Foodie trait and drinking a plain glass of water will upset her). It rarely interrupts a task she is doing, but if I do not have anything in the queue she is more than likely to go grab a glass of water. This situation also runs for other sims too. If a friend comes over then that sim also will leave multiple cups of water all over the house! One time, Clement Frost (Santa) drank 8 glasses of water in a row while my sim slept.

I still don't know why this still has not been fixed. I notice my sims are constantly going to the sink and grabbing water and drinking, then another issue is it's not just the water drinking. Every time my sim is inspired. My sim will go to the bar and make drinks, and leave it sitting there to get spoiled, then my sim has to constantly clean it up. I really wish they would get this fixed. This has been going on for months even a year. But even months ago it wasn't as bad, but now it's gotten way worse.

I have same issue. The water drinking is way too often any drink for that matter they just autonomously drink and drink.

After the latest patch (PC 1.90.375.1020), every time my Sims finish an activity (playing the piano, painting, watching TV, etc.) they get up to go get a glass of water. If I wasn't the one to stop them, and left autonomy free, I would have a house full of empty glasses. They are Spellcasters.

I had to turn off autonomy, my sims kept going and getting a drink of water, even when her hunger was at 100%. Not only her, but when guests come over, they're getting drinks from the fridge for themselves constantly. It's highly annoying. I have the latest patch (as of 9-7-2022) and all expansion packs/game packs/ stuff packs/ and kits. I do use mods, but it happens when mods are disabled. I find it highly annoying because glasses keep piling up.

I think it's even worse now, my Spellcaster drops the activity to go get a glass of water, I really need to micromanaging the queue.

Man, I remember the patch when this was introduced. It was worse then, but... every Sim in all of my households would be:

 

Sim: [gets class of water]

Sim: *slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!* NUM!!!! *slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!!!* NUM!!!

Bladder bar: [deep in red]

Sim: [waddles over to the sink to get more water]

Sim: *slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!* NUM!!!! *slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!!!* NUM!!!

[very uncomfortable music plays]

Sim: [waddles over towards sink]

Me: Will. You.  STOP!!!!!

 

Now it's just "Oh hey, I don't seem to have anything queued up right now, why don't I get a glass of water even though I'm about to pee my pants?"
