I did some testing. At first I thought my old save (with multiple households) was toast but further testing confirmed my second impression, my save is okay but my two spell castors in that save aren't.  Get Water was still constantly popping up for them.

So

- regular sims - seem good now.

- merfolk - seem good now (though their hydration seems to drop a bit faster then before <_<)

- vampires - did not test.

- spell castors - still trying to Get Water (from sinks)

I've gone back to a pre-spell castor back up of that save.  Hopefully I will be able to get back to enjoying playing again but right now, I don't even feel like trying.

It seems to me that the Get Water was meant for Merfolk but someone goofed.  I won't be playing Merfolk if they get stuck with that stupid Get Water push. I am perfectly capable of taking care of my sims myself. Stop telling my sims what to do! Get out of my sandbox!

@SleepycatDSL @Cheshyr1 So could we get new threads then, specifically to what's not working ?

- Apartment keyholders
- Spellcasters

Thank you both

    @crinrict I started a new save game about 2 days ago (after the last patch) in Oasis Springs (no mods/cc) and I use the disable-need-decay cheat, but my female sim started drinking excessively (like filling a glass under the tap, cleaning it and immediately filling the next one or taking a new one from the fridge), I don't know whether it was because she was pregnant, but I simply deleted the fridge and it seems to have fixed it because I try putting the fridge back in and it all happened again... both cheating the needs via mailbox & individual sims gets broken in the bladder-department while the other needs stay full...

    None of my older save games are having this issue. And it seems to be restricted to teens, young adults, adults (haven't tested elders because I haven't got them in this save game).

    This particular save game that is giving the trouble is the one where I'm testing whether the calendar & birthdays line up or not (different thread).

    Keeping the fridge deleted has slowed down the drinking to once or twice per sim-day for the entire household (3 sims currently: 1 teen/2 adults), but it still breaks the need-cheat for that individual sim that picks up a glass of water.

      Sims are still interrupting actions to get water from the fridge or sink 5 or more times in a 24 hour period. I don't understand why it's been added as an non-preventable autonomous action in the first place and why the devs think it's anything but annoying.
