[ARCHIVED] Garbage Commands and Llama Icons Stuck in Queue

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Fitness SP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? brew a pot of tea.
What happens when the bug occurs? the tea will finish brewing but the action will not disappear from the bottom of the queue.
What do you expect to see? "wait for tea to brew" to disappear.
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? No

the "wait for tea to brew" action getting stuck is still an issue. pressing M twice doesn't remove it from the queue*; instead, it makes the action's progress (green circle going around it) start filling up from the beginning, and the bubble remains after it's done.

this same thing happens when switching to a different Sim in the same household--returning to the one who has made the tea restarts the bubble's progress. in both cases the progress filling up happens faster than when originally brewing the tea.

*actual travelling needs to happen.

follow-up actions do work, they just get queued above it. maybe the trick is to add nothing else to the queue until the tea is done brewing?

  • I don't have the tea making in any of my houses. not being a tea drinker I don't bother. But other actions get stuck. take a bath, do homework, tend garden, it can be anything, when I add other things for them to do, those will be done, but there is usually one that doesn't move, its stuck. Taking them to another lot doesn't always fix it.  Playing another family for a while does.

     All except for Toddler, Laundry day, and My first pet.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?  Perform tasks. Add sleep to action bar. Cancel sleep. Re-add sleep. Sleep cannot be performed.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The sim will be unable to go to bed. Re-adding sleep to task bar is auto-cancelled or stuck. Tasks such as 'prepare food' will not be added to action bar and auto-cancelled.

    I've encountered several actions getting stuck after cancelling. Usually it happens when I interrupt (like if it has a "follow-up action") it.

    Usually when interacting with toddlers

    Travelling does remove it, but quite annoying
