    Your Sims had a lot of things to do today, but you know what they did instead? They Vacuumed the Lot. It was a really good clean. Cooking? Vacuumed the Lot. That Gig? Vacuumed the Lot. What about those push ups? Vacuumed the Lot. Reading? Vacuumed the Lot. Looking at this bug? We made time for that. The end of this bug? Released with this Patch. Sims will no longer randomly drop their queued tasks for Vacuuming.

    Fixed in Patch 1.73.48/ 1.40

    OTHER: Holiday Celebration

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 
    1. Start a new save file, create a sim (I created an adult male sim with the traits: Lazy, Slob, Goofy +family ambition)
    2. Move into a house, you will immediatle get the Pristine/Clean level (+2 inspired). Wait until your house get the Dusty level (+1 happy).
    3. Buy an upright vaccuum cleaner (I bought the cheapest), vacuum once (You will get the Pristine/Clean level).
    4. Wait until your home get into Dusty level again (you will get the moodlet, but the bug also occur without the moodlet = you can stop receiving cleanliness moodlets after a while, this is another bug).
    5. Cook something on the stove (I tested with grilled cheese and panncakes), the sim will cancel the action to vacuum
    What happens when the bug occurs? The sim will start to cook but suddenly cancel their action and start to vacuum instead (leaving the bowl or pan on the stove). Other actions like eating a meal, watching tv/a movie, showering can also get cancelled. The bug only occur on Dusty, Dirty and Filthy level (but you maybe need to use the vaccum cleaner once?). N.B! The bug will not trigger if you have the +2 focused moodlet that you get from vaccuuming. (see 2nd image)

    What do you expect to see?     The sims completing their action and not cancel it to vacuum
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No, never used
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Bust the Dust
