Action progress bars no longer are interrupted when a new action is added to a Sim's queue.
Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33

@rebeccah101I have been having this lately too. I noticed it when I started playing a Sim I had at University. They would stop in the middle of writing their term paper and I had to repeatedly tell them to continue. This wasn't a huge deal since they would eventually finish. After she graduated and I got her a job in the Education Career, I am unable to get her to do her daily tasks. She is supposed to tutor students online and write a lesson plan. She stops 50% of the way through and will not finish it so she doesn't get credit for it. This has been happening since the Ecostyle patch came out. I haven't tried playing other Sims as of yet but it is incredibly annoying that she will not finish any of her tasks and just stops half way through to do something random, usually push ups or stretching. I have turned off autonomy and that doesn't make a difference.
**EDIT**
I do recall having my Sim try to cook Camper's Stew but he refused to do it. He would take the ingredients out of the fridge and then set them down and not do anything more to it. There didn't seem to be an issue with any other recipes that I tried. So now I am wondering if it is along the same lines as the issue I am having with his daughter in another household. I won't play her right now because I can't get her a promotion since she won't finish any of her career tasks.
