[OPEN] [CD] Robot Vacuum always heads outside

Hi @Simming_Spoonie

does it only happen with the fully upgraded one for you ? My not fully upgrade one does go outside occasionally but it's not that bad that it doesn't clean anything else.

Going to tag as Needs Input for now to see if others see this as well.

I see that sometimes aswell. Sometimes it returns but then the loading station is blocked even when its perfectly accessable.

Sameee! I recently moved my sims house to a different town, from palm springs to the town that came with the cats and dogs expansion. 

I had no problem with the roomba ever going outside in palm springs but now. Everytime it goes outside to clean what? Who knows. And I can't figure out why it's doing this. Surely it knows it's outside.

@RyannfayytheCould be something about the house itself. Does it only happen in that particular one ? Does it depend on the neighborhood ?

I have the same problem except I have a split level house with the new platform tools and my robot vacuum hopped the different levels and then went outside and stopped and wouldn't go back to it's dock when command by my sim. I had to manually do it in build mode...

This is happening more frequently in my game. Not only are they going outdoors randomly to clean and getting stuck in the rain. I had 3 break at the exact same time on different floors in my house. They won't return to the dock either without me physically moving them there in build mode. Also, I had the sim repair the robot vacuums and empty the trash which was carried out. However, the next time I went to use the vacuum, the trash had not been emptied. My game crashed this morning but I think this crash was related to the cat interaction.

I have a multi story house with a balcony, and the vac on the upper floor goes out in the rain and breaks.

I tried putting the dock in different places, but the instant it starts the clean routine it goes out side first before doing any other rooms.

The one on the ground floor does exactly the same, but because the porches are covered, it does not break in the rain.

Occasionally, the ground floor one will break in the kitchen after going outside. Again, tried putting the doc in different places but still does the same routine every time.

The vac's are not upgraded as my sims are not handy.
