Edit: I noticed that since the April 13 update, Sims also seem to be drinking milk and orange juice autonomously even when Hunger is in the green.
Back in December 2014, a rule from the update has been added to prevent Sims from drinking from the fridge autonomously but it appears that this rule is broken notably as of GTW/version 1.5.
It happened in my game where I had two Sims, Rebecca and Ashley. Rebecca made a Sunset Valley and then I put it on the fridge, later I spotted Ashley drinking the Sunset Valley despite the rule stating that Sims will no longer drink from the fridge. Unfortunately, EA partially altered the rule. While it was supposed to prohibit Sims from drinking from the fridge autonomously, it doesn't stop them from attempting to make drinks or drink any drinks and they'll do this regardless of Hunger levels.
To get around this problem, I moved the Bar to the Household Inventory so that the Sims would not make any drinks. I only take it out to do Rebecca's daily task or to make potions. I've made a thread at The Sims forums discussing this issue.
This is one of the bugs that didn't get fixed in the March 26 update. However, Sims drinking from the fridge autonomously might be a bug.
I am worried my Sim may be an alcoholic. Ever since I started leveling their mixology skill, they have autonomously begun creating drinks at any moment of downtime, and that is a lot. Sometimes they will make 8-10 drinks a day. But perhaps alcoholic is not the right word, because they never actually consume any of the beverages they whip up, they just leave them on the bar to spoil. Mixoholic perhaps? Regardless, while this might have been a welcome tick while they were completing the Master Mixologist ambition, that is done, and the $200-$300 that is spent on wasted drinks is an expense I could do without. Please help.
My Sims must be raving alcoholics, they get up in the mornings, to make breakfast, instead they make an alcoholic drink, then another, and another, each time the "make pancakes" disappears and another drinks is made.
I just got Get To Work when it was on sale, and my doctor sim stops in the middle of patient exams to get water or soda even when he's FULL. I cancel it out when I see it, but he drops the Examine Patient action I just queued to go fetch MORE water. This is seriously annoying, espeically since all these actions take so much time already. He hasn't enough time in a day to treat 3 patients!
It was so bad that even when I visited any other house with a bar my sims went straight for it and started mixing. I finally figured out how to use MC command and I disabled mixing drinks and drinking water. If a mod can disable those autonomous actions, why cant the devs do the same? I just dont get that.
