Canned Goods

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.93.146.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Cooking canned goods on stove
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim cooks and cans the goods Infront of the stove and using the kitchen counter. When the canning cycle completes the sim goes to the living room and place one of the 3 cans on the coffee table there. The remaining 2 cans goes into the Sim's inventory. This is so frustrating if you can a lot of times sequentially.
What do you expect to see? All canned goods made per canning cycle e.g., the 3 canned bottles be placed in the Sim's inventory and a notification showing that it has been done.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

    This has always been an issue for several things, sims prioritizing a further away thing with anything from seats (to read books, do homework, or anything else), toilets, sinks, and where to set food/canned goods down, among other things. It's incredibly annoying and nonsensical, and while the devs occasionally say they tweak it, the issue is either never fixed or reoccurs within a few months with some other unrelated "fix" done. Apparently, this is just not a priority for them to code sims sensibly and efficiently for basic tasks.

    There are times when it gets so frustrating that I just quit playing for a week or two. I don't like having to lock my sims into rooms just to do a task to prevent them from choosing the furthest thing to do the task.
