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.
Maybe because they don't want to disable the autonomy but rather find the issue that's causing that and fix it ?
Just a wild guess though. Modders often put band aid fixes while devs have to find the root cause.
I've got this problem as well. Sims always mixing drinks and then leaving them on the bar to spoil. Sims drinking water when they visit the apartment and leaving the glass out to spoil (who would've thought that *water* could spoil? After an apartment visit, just about every flat surface in the apartment has glasses all over it!
I've never had Sim stop what they were doing to go get a drink as reported by @Felicat82 I wonder if your actions are cancelling prematurely and then the game fills in with a trip to the water fountain?
