Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? que up two or more actions for your Sim to perform
What happens when the bug occurs? things break 90% (or higher) when actions are qued.
What do you expect to see? less breakings especially when the appliances, electronics, plumbing, etc is upgraded.
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
I have tested this out with and without mods. When you que up two or more actions for your Sim to do, something will break 90% of the time. Example: Ask my Sim to eat something, pee, and then take a bath. The actions are qued up correctly and this is what happens: she eats her food, goes to wash the dishes, goes to the bathroom, pees, and as she flushes the toilet, and as soon as she turns to wash her hands and then take a bath ... DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN ... the toilet breaks or the sink breaks when she washes her hands, or the toilet breaks, or the sink breaks when she washes the dishes. I have made sure that all my appliances and plumbing were upgraded to prevent breakage. No difference. Something eventually breaks in the qued actions 90% of the time. If I have my Sim do one task at a time, barely anything breaks, especially when everything is upgraded. I've even replaced cheaper appliances and plumbing with expensive better quality stuff and still get the same amount of breaking when I que up actions. ONLY when I que up actions do things break just about every time.
Might also be related because of the queuing, but when you use the Digital Sketchpad to do the get money fast with painting tip (you pause your game and tell your Sim to paint six large Classic paintings and then place them in world and sell them gaining both money and fame), the Sim will paint one, maybe two paintings, and then stop, wave their arm saying "Hispa boisp" (I can't do that), and then POOF, the queued painting actions disappear. If you tell the Sim to paint a large classic picture one at a time with no que, they paint like normal with no problems. We'll have to see if there are problems with queued actions I guess.
