Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All, as of March 4thSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? A vampire talks to a sim normally, any old conversation.When the vampire then compels to drink, the interaction is carried out, but doesn't disappear from the action queue once the interaction is over. It stays. If you click to cancel it, it's remains in the darkened, crossed out state until you switch to another sim. When you switch to another sim, then switch back it'll be back as though it wasn't cancelled.What happens when the bug occurs? The sims must be talking to the sim when the compel to drink interaction is triggered. Compel to drink will then only start when you cancel the talking interaction.Compel to drink will then get stuck If your sim is talking to them beforehand and you cancel the talking before the compel to drink starts, all works fine. It only gets stuck if talking is going on when compel to drink starts.What do you expect to see? The interaction should leave the queue, like other interactions rather than getting stuck. resetsim or travelling to another lot normally clears the issueHave 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 I think I've explained the majority of it above

I have the same, usually happens during "sleep" action, and had to restart the entire game for it to go out of the action bar. What I do now is just remove the object that is used for the action, and it leaves the action bar (I put my bed in inventory, so there was no bed to sleep in and the action was gone). In this way you don't have to restart the game. It's not the solution, I think it's a bug, but this is how you can still sort of play!

@crinrict, Not sure if this is related or not (so I apologize if it is not) but every time I have a Vampire drink from another Sim, the compel to drink action stays in the queue long after the Vampire has finished their meal. Sometimes I have 2 of these in my queue if the Vampire has had more than one meal. The action icon stays until I play again (but I haven't tried to reset the Vampire like @99publicidentity suggested , so I'll have to try that! 😉 ) It happens with every Vampire and I have no CC or Mods, and it was like this from day one. ☹️

I'm having the issue where the "Wait for tea to brew" action is getting stuck in the action menu. Saving and reloading fixes this, but it can be annoying to be stuck in the bar. Cancelling the action does not remove it, and it stays stuck at the "Finished" stage without automatically disappearing. Sims still seem able to drink the tea and interact with the tea machine, but the action persists.

There's several other commands that get stuck this way.

I've added this.

i found out that at least with some of those icons it works to hit M & then again

M brings up the option to travel

this seems to remove those stuck icons

I got a different kind of llama icon stuck in my queue when trying to invite someone in. I haven't tried out the tea machine yet.

Hi @unseenlarks

could you open a new thread for this ? This one doesn't have the template. I'll merge this, once you have done so

Thank you

Thanks. Merged and renamed to the one there was before cause tea brewing isn't the only command.
