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 understand that they should look for the cause of the issues. But right now nobody benefits from autonomous water drinking and mixing. I dont see how disabling these particular autonomous actions has negative effects on the game. People could still command their sims to do it. My sims never tend the garden on their own. I can command them to do it just fine. Same with many other activities my sims never do on their own.
"Modders often put band aid fixes while devs have to find the root cause."
Exactly. I see modders doing something. I dont see devs doing something. Its because of mods that the devs dont consider it important enough to fix. This problem is 2 years old now. If they wanted to do something they would have done it by now.
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?
