I’m beginning to wonder if it’s the maid that’s glitchy. Now on a lot where I’ve removed the grill to avoid that stuck loop, he comes snd goes snd ignores dirty dishes sitting plainly on tables and counters. Strange.

Bug affects NPCs which happen to have the Neat trait. NPCs without this trait only clean grills if dirty.

I have had the same maid for months, and I checked, he does not have the neat trait and only started doing it within the last two weeks or so. 

Went on vacation to Granite Falls tonight and rented the big lodge. He showed up as my maid there too and did the same thing for hours.  I had just arrived. There was nothing to clean. When I finally got tired of him banging the grill lid open and shut I dismissed him and he charged me $160! 

I have been playing a lot over the past year and definitely this is new (for me anyway).

Re: Maid caught in a loop cleaning grill even on new grill

I decided to click "me too" here after last night when my sim summoned Bonehilda and she started cleaning the grill over and over again.  I thought I might test to see if it happens again.  If so, I'll try to share the video.

 

Edit: I was only able to play this video with Windows Media Player.

 

 

Second edit: I continued monitoring this and Bonehilda cleaned that grill for about 5 sim hours before she finally left the lot.

 

Third edit: I thought I should mention I'm playing on PC.  Also, I checked the sim profile and Bonehilda has the neat trait if that helps.  Maybe that's already known?

 

Fourth edit: I checked the regular maid's traits since she doesn't get stuck in the clean grill loop.  She does not have the neat trait.

Well, I am glad at least to see that I’m not completely alone on noticing this!

So... I checked this maid’s traits and indeed he did have the neat trait which now removed thru CAS seems to have fixed the problem for at least the two households I have observed so far. I don’t know if my maid had a previous twin, but I would swear he previously did not have the neat trait. Anyway, I’m suggesting that anyone else who is experiencing this issue double-check your maid’s traits and remove “neat” if it’s there.

This will go on for hours until I dismiss the maid.  The grill wasn't dirty and wasn't used.  Happens every visit.

I've had the same exact issue. I have not looked into the maid's traits yet but I took away the grill so the maid would clean the rest of the house.
