I don't know if it started happening after the latest patch, but I know it started recently. When I try to vacuum my house because it's dirty, my sim goes to the selected spot, then goes outside and then the action goes away. They don't start T-posing like in some similar posts I've seen here.

    Do they have enough room to vacuum?  I believe for the animation to work, sims need at least a 4x4 (or larger,) empty space to vacuum in. They tend to try to walk to the nearest large empty space to vacuum when ordered to do so and maybe that is causing the sim to walk outside in your game?  You could try temporarily moving a bunch of objects to your household inventory to clear the room and then seeing if they can vacuum in it.

    Removed some stuff to give them more space, and yes now they vacuum correctly. It sucks that they need sooooo much room to be able to vacuum though, it's pretty silly. Kinda regret buying this kit now

    This happens to me a lot when I make my sims live in tiny homes, especially in Tier 1 or 2. The only fix I found was to move some stuff around so the sim has enough space or just to turn dust off.
