I have this issue all the time as I often have 8 sims in the household, all with different schedules. Sims will frequently go eat on the double bed of a sleeping sim upstairs instead of eating at the counters with bar stools in the kitchen downstairs or at the dining table downstairs. They actually never use the dining table unless someone is doing their homework there.
I have definitely noticed that sims seem to prioritize being close to other sims above all else in my game. I'd rather they use what was closer or directly chosen - I seem to have a related issue with computers where they won't use computers that I directly commanded them to use (e.g., I want my writer to use the computer in the room with Inspired decor). They seem to prioritize using computers that are closer to other sims or themselves.
Tagging @SimGuruNick @SimQARobo and @SimGuruArvin on input on this one.
Is this by design or something that need tweaking ?
EA Staff (Retired)This sounds like something that was done by design (Sims like to be near each other to socialize), but with unintended consequences (eating at the edge of a bed that another Sim is sleeping in sounds SUPER creepy). We'll look into it, thanks!
Thanks @SimGuruNick for bringing it up to the team as something to look into! And thanks @crinrict for bringing this to the attention of the devs. 🙂
EA Staff (Retired)Is this still occurring for anyone? If so, could we get a save file of where you're seeing it? Super appreciated, thank you much!
