[ARCHIVED] Sims excessively 'Grab a Drink' with 'Tea Magic Personal Brewer'

@DemiKitty003That situation baffles me too when it goes through autonomy setting! But yeah, it is pretty aggravating when you need to queue a good amount of actions while time is still active but it's still queuing "grab drink" non-stop. It interrupts certain on-going actions and causes a massive waste of time while the sim splits themselves between the brewer and what they were doing at the time.

Oh, and the bladder failure. It's why I just buy the Steel Bladder trait now on all of my played sims and call it a day.

Whenever I make Healthy Green tea on the Tea Magic Personal Brewer, the Sim making it will then autonomously grab a drink, which you would expect. However, when they have finished their drink, they will get another; and then when they have finished that one, they will get another and so on until I manually cancel the action.

All other Sims (Teens or older) in the household will also autonomously grab a drink and repeat the same cycle as the original sim. Autonomy is off so they shouldn’t be automatically grabbing drinks.

I’ve tested it with other types of tea; when my Sims needs are full; when my sims have an illness or are healthy. It always happens, regardless of their ‘state’, but only specifically with the Healthy Green tea - Sims drink all other teas with no problem.

I don’t often use the Tea Magic Personal Brewer, so I’m not sure if this is something that has started in a recent update or if it’s been happening for a while.

Sounds like this issue

This has been going on a long time ago, not  a recent bug. I have noticed it over a year ago at least.

My sims try to grab another drink before they’ve even finished their first cup 🤦🏻‍♀️

so unfortunately I’ve had to stop using the tea brewer completely. It sucks when we can’t use entire items in the game due to these autonomy issues.

It happens always!! Now I use the 'Tea Magic Personal Brewer' when I have groups visiting home, then everybody grabs a drink. (BTW: I don't know why when I make lemonade in the 'Summer Drink Tray' everybody ignores the tray, nobody grabs a glass of lemonade automosly.)

Same on XBOX, latest patch, Sims obsess over repeatedly drinking it, even with autonomy off, they will still do it
