Action progress bars no longer are interrupted when a new action is added to a Sim's queue.

Can confirm I've had this problem multiple times now -- to the point where I've lost entire playthroughs because of it.
It's most egregious when I send my Sims to university. I've tested with two naps: Back to the Old Days and the creative arts one (don't remember the name--oops). I'll start a sim out in Evergreen Harbor, vote in those two N.A.P.s, then send them to Britechester or Foxbury.
Immediately books will begin spawning in their inventory. Endless amounts of books. The worst playthrough I had involved money being subtracted from my household's fund to pay for endless books. They would stop eating, stop doing their homework, just to read -- for a few moments, at least, because IMMEDIATELY afterwards they'd spawn in a new book and start reading it.
A new playthrough -- totally unmodded -- had the same results. ANOTHER playthrough -- unmodded -- with the two N.A.P.s active that I mentioned earlier, and the result is the same except now my sim starts reading a magically-produced book, then starts playing with magically-produced clay, before switching back to a book. These actions happen rapidly one after the other.
BONUS: Importing sims with this corrupted AI into a new save will not solve this issue. Going back to Evergreen Harbor to repeal the N.A.P.s stated above will not solve this issue. Voting new N.A.P.s into effect in Britechester or Foxbury will not fix this issue. The affected sims are permanently broken.
