[FIXED] Auto-solving hygiene need causes Clean Objects instead

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Dine Out GP, Perfect Patio SP, Cool Kitchen SP, Movie Hangout SP, Backyard SP, Fitness SP, Laundry Day SP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? have a dirty surface in the house. click auto-solve for a Sim's Hygiene.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim will clean the dirty object instead.
What do you expect to see? Sim taking care of their Hygiene, as auto-solve is for personal needs.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

not sure if this started after the latest patch or i'm only noticing it now. this last Sim it happened to is Neat, however auto-solve should still mean 'take care of your needs' and not those of an object. i suppose it could have to do with the trait, though?

the dirty surface itself (a counter) wasn't even giving a negative moodlet since he was in another room. but clicking auto-solve on Hygiene prompted him to walk up and clean it. a second click did send him to the shower.

(i did see "auto-solving Hygiene causes Sims to get a drink" but didn't post there as didn't seem like a collection post.)

    Did you know that your Sims can take care of a Need on their own if you click on the Need in the Needs panel? Give it a whirl! Sims with the Neat Trait now clean themselves when you click on "Hygiene" instead of cleaning their home.

    Fixed in Patch 1.90.358/1.61 If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

  • @unseenlarks It's happening to me lately and I notice it only happens with my sims with the neat trait. I play on PC, only have base gane, don't use mods or CC.

    @unseenlarks I have this too and only just realised from reading this thread that it's on sims with the neat trait. Hoping there's a fix soon.
  • I see this on PS5 also. My neat sim goes to clean objects when she is low on hygiene or when I click on her hygiene to auto solve.

    I previously commented saying my Neat Sims were also doing this but I have seen non-Neat Sims go to clean stuff too.

  • @unseenlarks Also once my Sim was going to bath his baby instead of going to clean himself, this auto-solve hygiene is definetly brooken.
