[ARCHIVED] Excessive Drinking (Water, Juice, ..) (Patch 1.58.63)

After this patch that supposedly fixed it, I see it happening much more often. Before it was only some sims that would occasionally get something to drink repeatedly, and often they would only get a drink when they were slightly hungry, but hunger was still green. Now all sims will immediately run to a sink and get water as soon as they complete a task, and on a few occasions I've had them drop their entire queue to get water. I no longer see sims get juice or other drinks from the fridge, but they will all get water from the sink, constantly.

For me it's mostly young adults that keep getting water, while the other ages don't appear to be doing it as frequently, but I also mostly play young sims so that may be part of the reason I seem them do it more frequently.

It's not isolated to home lots. Happens at clubs and lounges too, and in the science lab there's almost constantly someone standing around with a glass of water.

My superstar actress/celebrity sim in Del Sol Valley has a toddler, and for whatever reason, her and her husband (in a vanilla job & not celebrity) tend to refuse to do what I tell them when the game decides they need water, and more often than not they will run to a far away sink to get the water instead of the using the closest one. I always have to manually cancel the "get water" action before they will do anything else in the queue. I don't know if it's the "celebrity home" lot trait that causes it, but I only get the stubborn behaviour with those two sims when they're at home. As soon as they're on a different lot they act more like you'd expect from a normal sim, except when my celeb sim's quirks kick in.
