[FEEDBACK] Sims abandoning tasks before finishing

No, not me, the sims! 🙂

They will stop anything that they are doing to start a 'tournament'.

2 am. Unwashed, tired and hungry. Start a tournament... 100 simoleans! 30 seconds into the match they decide to take a shower...

4 am get up and start a tournament... 100 simoleans! 30 seconds later switch it off to look at the bugs in the corner...

6.30 am get up and start a tournament... 100 simoleans! 30 seconds later just decide to watch TV instead...

This can go on all day.

It's not only this too.

Put in a bar, the sim will start making the most expensive drinks and fill the house with them! Every surface has drinks on it... most of them green and stinking...

I often feel 'out of control' with my sims. They often start to learn skills that I have no interest in them learning... but this? I give them a week before there is not enough money to pay the bills!

Anyone know of a fix or patch to stop this? Should I just stop buying the new, expensive game systems? No, not me, the sims! 🙂

    A new zip file uploaded.

    Should contain a broken artwork on the easel.

    There are now issues with the massage bed too. Some visiting sims will get up mid massage and just leave...

    This means that the massager can become 'locked' in place, stuck in the massage pose, or just standing by the bed...

    The interaction can be cancelled but the massager may remain 'idle' for a few minutes and not able to carry out issued commands.

    Not such a terrible bug, unless the needs are low.

    Edit; from what I can tell, the massage gets bumped up the list of priorities. Going to the toilet, showering or eating can shift in front of the massage. So leaving the house must bump the massage too.

    It could have been a party, or just an invite from the phone. With the new zip I just invited the sim over by phone... to 'hangout'.

    If you paint the mural on the wall, (lvl 10 painting) as an 'art style; stick figure', when the mural is clicked there is an option "sell for cost" but clicking it makes the sim just wander around the lot for a while before giving the shrug shoulders animation... going to try this one with a group of sims on the lot.

    Tried again with invited sims over. Same thing, the sim just wanders around on the lot, before shrugging...

    I've tried your save and all was fine for me. I did see the painting but I just removed it and after that I actually never had a NPC paint even tough I made it a club rule.

    I'll tag this as Feedback for now to see if other users see similar behavior.

    So far no one else seems to have chimed in.

    Did you make a thread at the official forum as well ? There's usually more users posting.
