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'm having a similar issue. My one sim keeps stopping what I asked her to do (I have autonomy OFF) to do the same 3 tasks (practice programming, give fake bad news to her husband, and shake the magic figure 8 ball that answers your questions). She has no programming background, and if I sell the figure 8 ball, a new one reappears in her inventory every time she does it. At one point she had like 40 of them! Its running the game for me since I can't control the character.
I did remove all mods. I also reset the game by moving the folder to my desktop and then putting my saves etc back after it regenerated.
Note: this sim that is having the glitches grew up in another household as a child and never had any issues until she moved onto a brand new lot. Please HELP!
@ashleypaganoo If you're playing with Eco Lifestyle, it sounds like she's been tagged with the mischief & tech support N.A.P.s (since most policies give Sims relevant autonomous actions that override player-queued tasks). It really seems like this whole issue is a bug and not mod/broken-game related.
For everyone affected, I'm really hoping we get a fix soon🙂
Started a new neighbourhood with eco crap turned off from the start and within an hour my sim will not only wander off to do anything but what i tell them, but will no longer sleep either. He'll get into bed, be there for 20 mins in game then get up again, still exhausted. This is rendering the game near unplayable. Can't brew potions as they wander off, can't cook meals, paint, read, write books, anything. It is shambolic that it was released in such a state and there has been no fix.
My Sims will do the sleep problem you're having, but with showering. They get into the shower, seems to be going good, come out unchanged. Still dirty. My Sims also require me to keep on them and repeatedly return them back to cooking because they will stop MULTIPLE times to get on the computer. I have to lock my computers unless I need to use them just so they stop going on them.
