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

I ended up disabling Eco Lifestyle because my game became unplayable. My favourite in game born sim just started a family but eco made her and her husband act like crazy. They stopped most interactions to play guitar/violin/digi pad (none of which they own) or to play with the clay. The clay kept on appearing into their inventory. All together, there were 86 lumps of clay. They also tried to steal food from their toddler. My sims mother (a very nice sim) came to their house all the time to tell fake bad news thus destroying their relationship. There were street fights everywhere. My other family suffered from baking cakes constantly. I had NPC voting turned off, somehow still my active NAPs were Sharing Is Caring and Creativity. I removed them with cheats which stopped the stealing but not the creative things. They couldn’t even finish bathing their toddler because the actions were interrupted. They need to fix this and make a player choose whether they want NAPs in their game or not. And make the actions less overriding. I wouldn’t mind if my sim whose neighbourhood has the creativity N.A.P. on and who is creative would use things that they already have (like an easel) to paint when they have no tasks. But this is crazy.
ps. Somehow my daughter’s save isn’t this bugged. Luckily my sims wen’t back to normal after disabling Eco Lifestyle.
The way around it I have found, only works on new saves sadly is to disable the voting for NPC’s, then not vote on anything and nothing was being assigned. I was expecting the game to just choose a random one as I’d seen people saying that was what it does. I think my previous save game is probably going to have to be deleted, as removing the NAP’s via a cheat did not stop my sim still doing the push ups or the clay multiplying out of control.
I also did this at the weekend, my new save game has no issues with this bug now. I turned off NAP NCP voting and I have never had an active NAP with new save. Still some issues with townie behaviour but overall no actions dropping. Really gutted tho I had played the previous save for so long and played generations of the same family. Also I had edited a lot of the lots and so on and I’m guessing that’s all lost now.
edit - every week it says a new NAP is in place but there’s never any effects of that NAP and it doesn’t show as an option to re appeal.
