Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC

City living, cottage living, high school years, snowy escape, seasons, eco lifestyle, discover university, growing together, get together, cats and dogs, dream home decorator, parenthood, my first pet stuff, backyard stuff, tiny living, laundry day stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Having a radio playing near said sim. It happens randomly but always when a radio is nearby and playing.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim will start spamming the task bar with “dance” interactions.
What do you expect to see? None of this, since I didn’t even interact with the radio in the first place.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
This bug has been around for MONTHS for me. It is extremely frustrating and makes the game unplayable. I come back every once in a while to see if my game is playable again and it’s not. Over the past few months I’ve also observed many more people getting this bug with no way to fix it. I’m not sure what causes it other than a ACTIVE radio playing some sort of music. My sim will override whatever they are doing and absolutely fill the task bar with “dance” unless I pause or stop it. I've spent so much money on this game and am very disappointed that I can no longer play this game due to this bug. Things I’ve already tried include: Removing the mods folder, reinstalling, uninstalling certain dlcs/ content, verifying files, and full wiping my pc.
Community ManagerHey everyone,
Would any of you that are affected by this bug be willing to share your save file with us? You can find the instructions to save and send a save file on this link, and you can send me a private message with the link to the file. To send a private message, click on my username then on the Enveloppe icon on my profile page.
Thanks!
I can provide game saves, my save isn't very old due to the bug and not really being able to play, but I'll add that this does happen on all saves for me, even new ones. I'll also add that I play the sims with autonomy on full, with selected sim autonomy OFF.
Just wanted to update this post after the kind people in this thread helping me, it does weirdly seem to be if you have children/ parents. So maybe a connection with the parenting pack? I'm not sure besides it really only happens if your sim has parents.
