[ARCHIVED] Sims won't use nearest furniture while eating/reading

Hi,

Ever since I moved my sims into a new house (which I got from the Player Gallery), they haven't been using the nearest furniture item while eating or reading. In fact, sometimes they just stand near the fridge and not sit down at all.

My game is unmodded, so I'm not sure whats causing it.

Thanks.

  • This may not be a bug.   I am fairly sure that the "Comfort" of a particular piece of seating may be a major factor.   I'm not sure, but in the case of reading, lighting may also be a factor.  With eating, they seem to like to socialize while they eat, so will try to sit somewhere where they are able to talk to others.   In many cases, they will even prefer to stand and talk to someone rather than sit and eat alone.

    The bottom line is, they don't necessarily seek out the "nearest seating", but rather the "best available" seating.   

  • My Sims will walk right past a comfort 4 sofa to eat at a comfort 1 chair at the dining room table. Really annoying, especially when they end up leaving their books on the table and there's no room to eat.
