@crinrict the TV was not in the same room for the sim that was having this issue for me, although it was in the next room. The kitchen was completely walled all the way around with a door to go through to get to it. The family has recently moved house and the closest TV to the kitchen is on a different floor. So far I have not seen this happen in the new house.

@phantomofhummusMerging this with the other thread on TV interrupting stuff.
To be sure: Is the TV in the same room ?
Nope, the TV is in the living room and the bar is in the backyard, not even in the house. 😔

I'm seeing this on PS4 with the robotics station. The TV is right next to the station but the sim working at the robotics station will just cancel the action at the station to go watch the TV.
Edit: After I sold the TVs then it was the basketball court interrupting the robotics station action.

So I just recently ran into a problem where my sim won’t do anything but watch tv. He cancels any action I try to do. Anything you can do to help?

I am having exactly the same problem! It's super frustrating because my sim will cancel so many different actions, especially skill building actions, to watch the stupid TV. She will stop cooking, practising mixing drinks, and even painting. No matter how many times I tell her to go back to the task I want her to be doing, she quits moments later and goes back to the TV. I have tried moving the TV to a different room, or getting a different type of TV and it has not solved the problem. I have some light CC (CAS items) and I have tried running without any CC, and still the issue persists. I did not have this issue before installing DU.

Having an issue with this as well. My sims would be cooking then suddenly stop to watch tv. This is a tiny home. The sim would be able to watch tv while prepping, which is fine and they sim does this without issue. The sim would turn around to cook and turn the tv off. Other times the sim just stops cooking half way through and turns around to watch tv.

I'm having this issue too, always while cooking. Super frustrating. Takes about 3-4 times of sending my sim back to resume cooking to finish a making a meal. Have had it happen on different save files, with and without tv in the same room. And they'll even stop cooking, watch the tv, stop watching the tv and proceed to do something else. Thank goodness leaving stuff on the stove doesn't set it on fire immediately XD
