What do you expect to see? SIm should write book unless/until they become uncomfortable.

Hi!
Having a strange problem with computers. I tried to get my sim to write a book, and she has consistently wrote for a few real seconds before the action cancels, read a book before the same thing occurs, and then proceeds to watch tv. All actions after the "write book" command are autonomous. All items used were EA items except for the computer. I thought it might have been a cc problem (used a cc computer but changed to a base game computer) so I removed all mods and cc and cleared cache to no avail. She lives in Evergreen Harbor if that helps as well!
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@ShantanilyaM Sounds a bit like this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sim-goes-to-watch-tv-while-cooking-even-when-hungry/m-p/8479593
Could also be related to your current action plan.
What's that ?- 5 years ago
Thank you! I looked through the post and it definitely seems similar (especially the tv not being on or in the same room), although I didn't see many solutions.
Usually the action bar only has the command to write a book and her needs are all taken care of.
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@ShantanilyaM Do you have a current N.A.P ?

I have seen some of this before the Eco pack.
It mostly happened with
' painting, writing a book or working on the robot work bench.
If I scheduled right away another action (no matter which one) my Sims keep on doing the first task and don't get distracted

I am having virtually the same problem. I traced the book reading issue to a specific bookcase, in my case the Vintage Books that sit on a desktop. The behavior stopped once I replaced to a different bookshelf. I also think it has something to do with the computer that I am using, the Ghostwriter Disappearing Desktop because of another similar occurrence that I just saw where instead of eating after being called to dinner the Sim went to play a game. I would guess at this point that some objects have a higher desire factor than they need.
