The interrupted gameplay is very frustrating.
I have the same issue:/ I temporarily uninstalled to make room on my Mac until it's fixed. Even in a fresh save file with a few N.A.P.s & no travel, the policy-related activities override almost all of my queued actions.
This sounds like normal behavior with EL and most of it is NAP induced.
First thing I suggest you do is go to game options and uncheck Enable NPC voting. That way the only sims that will vote will be your active sims.
Then, you can set up a repeal of the NAPs you don't want running on the mailbox and vote in those that you do want. With only your active household voting, you only have to cast one vote too. This has worked for me in the current zone where I am playing. I have not tried to repeal one yet though.
And, you will need to do the repeal and vote in a new one (or not) in any zone where you find the annoying one. I play a long term save with sims in almost every zone in every world so I will have to go into every zone and do the repeal and vote in the NAPs I want. Going to take a long time since it takes 4 weeks to set the 4 active NAPs for each zone.
If you turn off NPC voting before any get enacted anywhere, then they don't get enacted so you don't have to worry about them. Depending on how you play, it might be easier to start a new game, shut off NPC voting and play from there.
Hope this helps.
my sims stop what they doing too go practice acting in mirror. and they continue too play music when have nothing in inventory they can play it from. i have turned off no npc voting but played sims do vote
