[OPEN] Active Sims interrupt current interaction to do something else [ Edited ]

[j4f0]

I have all packs. I had noticed other sims that just plain wouldn't eat some meals but it was easily worked around by getting more food. 

The knitting bug is much worse because the only workaround is to take the knitting box/bag out of inventory. I turned off autonomy and my sim still started another beanie.

It might be NAP related but now that you mention it, my second sim I created did this before voting was closed on the Monday after she started so there were no NAPs active at the time.

I played for the first time in a while. Just got the new Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack and decided to load up a previous family.

Excercise seems to be the queue stomper for me. Eat? Nah go outside in a blizzard to do some push-ups. Cloud gaze with someone? Sure start to do it but then one of you will get up to do a push up!

I get what they were going for (neighborhood clubs basically) but somehow it's just not right. I should not have to fight with them to do something so simple.

Tis a shame

I have the same problem especially with my toddlers, they can be starving and I get the Your toddler is starving pop up, but they will pick up the plate and put it down again uneaten, or maybe a bite taken from it, I have to repeat the eat or take a serving several times. 

every few sim minutes my adults will stop what they are doing and go and talk to the plants, or leave the toddler on the potty or only partly bathed and go talk to the plants, even when their social bar is full. They will leave of preparing a meal to go and talk to the plants. drives me mad. all since I installed Echo living. now i have knifft knitters they wil lleave of what their doing to sit  and knit, but I'll be taking their knit boxes out of their inventories. I dont have mods and I don't have spooky or  vampires.

My sim will cancel out the command and either compulsively bake white cakes, spawn exactly 6 clay in their inventory and begin molding them, start stretching, or doing pushups.This started last night after Origin had an update. I've removed mods and repaired the game. Nothing changed. I've turned autonomy off and that doesn't help either. The game is unplayable at the moment.

@iomsp while not exactly the same issues I've had similar ones since the latest update (on console). My Sims seem to be affected by "hidden actions" such as a very sad dog coming in from outside walking slowly to the owner in the kitchen. I was trying to get her to ask her neighbor to change outfits for a photographer gig request and he kept standing there looking at the something and swaying back and forth and she stood there with the commands I gave her just disappearing over and over again. Once the dog finally made her way to the owner and that interaction happened it's like the game caught up and resumed. The guy walked to the photography studio and my owner followed after him. But then they both ran back to the house in the same room to do the outfit change action instead of just doing it in the photography studio where I queued up the new command. Frustrating.

Sometimes Sims will just drop every command I give them to do the NAP automatic actions instead. Honestly my commands freewill on or off should take priority over those commands. But they don't.

[WikiTikiPohaku]

This is happening to me too. My sims won't finish any action without interrupting to do pushups, practice programming (and she is already max level..sigh), or harvest plants. I have all autonomy off. I have the NAP option turned off in my settings, and there are no current action plans.

It isn't every sim either. This has happened in the two families I've played since the patch, only one sim does it from each family. Other sims will stand there forever, or finish their meals, or actually potty train their child instead of leaving them to go practice programming.

It is very frustrating!

Even the recent patch or simvision mods don't solve this, outrageous...

[simvasion]

@rostsit what's wrong with the mod? Are you using the latest version (27 July)?
