When playing over the weekend, quite often, when I select for my Sim to carry out an action, it will dissapear and they will instead go off and do their own thing.

I noticed that too, my Sim refuses commands, but, I also noticed that it is when the Sim remains stuck in a room and can not leave where these refusals. I have to re-lock the door for the Sim and he goes out and obeys again. Do you notice this situation too?

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living Vampires Party pack Holiday stuff pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Playing the game on Xbox One and using the commands on a Toddler. For example, giving a Toddler a bath or feeding it. It will appear about the queue bar but won’t activate. Very frustrating when the toddlers needs are low!
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim will just stand in place motionless and not do anything. Usually I have to cancel the action and retry over and over and over again until it works.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the action being performed straight away. This needs attention ASAP. it’s very, very frustrating.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

This issue needs attention ASAP. Whenever I want to bathe my toddler or feed it, my sim will stand there and I have to keep retrying. Makes the game very annoying and also the Toddler is at risk of being taken away!!

Hi @MrBobPeck,

Thanks for your report!

Could you take a look to this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/XB-Sim-won-t-accept-queued-commands/m-p/6444676#M52995

It describes a similar behaviour, do you think it's the same issue you are experiencing? If so, I'll merge the threads 😉

Thank you,

I have been having this same issue its sad I was really looking forward to playing this bugg free, but since day one I have had this issue.

I've also been having similar issues.  Not sure if it's just since adding this child, or since downloading the Christmas stuff pack. 
Toddler and parents wouldn't accept any commands, to the point where the toddler nearly starved.  I aged up the toddler during a birthday party, where one parent was carrying the toddler to blow out the candles.  The toddler aged up to a child, but then the parent couldn't put him down.  When I exited the program I got a message saying that I couldn't save before quitting. 

Really really buggy and annoying. Not sure if I'm going to keep playing..

How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? None
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If you have a toddler or a baby, tell the sim to care for it in more than one way. They will not do all of it. Or if you give them multiple commands they kind of pick and choose what they want to do. OR you tell them to eat, hunger is in the yellow, they make the food, leave it, read a book or play chess on their own and then yell at me for not feeding them.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sim cries about needs being low and doesn't wanna listen when I say, "hey, dumb dumb, eat".
What do you expect to see? A whining Sim who doesnt wanna help themselves

The Sim just gets mad at me or something, idk
