I have the same problem. I have 8 sims in my household and I'm trying to do the Legacy Challenge. But this bug is making it almost impossible. My sims keep doing push ups or stretch no matter what task I gave them. They are constantly hungry, smelly, in desperate need of a toilet, and dead tired because they stop everything I tell them to do for push-ups and stretches.
Product: Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every save. It doesn't seem to happen initially with new households until after I switch to another household as active. But since I do this often, every family ends up bugged.
What is your current game version number? 1.66.139.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. Actually play the game? It happens when I've told someone to do something and they randomly stop and do something else, most often make white cake.
What happens when the bug occurs? I always order my Sims to do things to increase their skills. However, they're randomly stopping whatever they're doing and doing other things. They seem to be obsessed with making white cake (guests, too, when I have them over, are insistent upon making white cake). Sometimes they'll do other things instead, like play with clay (which somehow spawns in their inventory since I never give them clay), exercise, or play the violin.
What do you expect to see? Sims doing what I have told them to until I tell them to stop or unless a need gets very low.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It appeared after Eco Lifestyle
I can't really play Sims until this bug is resolved. I have tried deleting the cache, etc. etc., all the things that EA tells you to try if you call them, but it doesn't help. Any household I play will get to this point before long and I cannot play the game anymore.
