Is your Sim creating puddles as they drink water? We have tweaked and duct-taped every leak your Sims could have so this should no longer occur.
Fixed in Patch 1.72.28/ 1.39
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
@candiecoatediv Unfortunately, yes. Even if you don't plan on buying the pack, you're going to have to deal with this as long as it remains an issue. Whenever EA releases updates, the data within typically includes game data for packs even if you don't have them. It's easier for them to release updates this way, but it can also cause issues for those that may not have certain packs. So right now in your game data you're going to have stuff for packs you don't even have, which as you're seeing with this puddle issue can just cause problems if they don't implement the data correctly.
EDIT: @zoiee2020 There are already mods that stop getting water, and I'm sure some should still work with the recent update. Unfortunately we aren't allowed to link to mods here, so you'll just have to do your own search (try searching for "Sims 4 no autonomous water"). You could also use MC Command Center. It has a function called MC Tuner that lets you disable autonomous actions as they happen in the game. The only problem is that some interactions seem to have multiple instances you have to disable, but once you disable them all then you can stop pulling your hair out with all the frustrating things your sims love to do on their own lol.
@crinrict I no longer play on computer (according to Origin I haven't played since March of 2019), and would need to reinstall the game to even test it. I've been trying to do just that, though my internet has been complete rubbish lately and I need to wait on the game to finish installing. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll edit this to let you know if it works or not once I get the game reinstalled.
I would actually just recommend MCCC to players on computer anyway. With autonomy mods you have to hope they still work with new game patches, and if not hope they get updated for the new patches, and if you have a bunch of mods that could be messy. The MC Tuner option in MCCC just needs MCCC to work with the latest game patches, and as long as it does you have the ability to disable just about any autonomous interaction you want while playing.
The main downside to MC Tuner is that you may need to manually disable multiple interactions to get something to stop. For example with the water drinking you would need to disable it from a sink, a fridge, a bar, and any other places where you can get water. Luckily you can usually just click on objects to disable certain interactions, and then your settings are saved to a configuration file so you don't need to keep doing it.
I'd share a link to information for MC Tuner, but since the link is technically to a site for a specific mod I'm not sure it would be allowed (just go to the MCCC site, click Documentation then Automation Scan). The page has a lot of useful information about MC Tuner, including a download link for a config file that says it stops some annoying interactions (including getting water).
@valohim666 Guess there's no need. Scarlet made a mod fo rthis.
I'll link it on the list;: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-Common-Game-Fixing-Mods-Hero-Approved/m-p/9836567
@crinrict Oh nice, that will be great for users playing the computer version. I just tested it and it seems to work too. Might end up going back to the PC version myself lol. It might not matter much at this point, but I did get around to testing that autonomy mod and it did work though it only seemed to affect drinks from sinks.
I almost want to mark your recent post as the solution since it mentions the mod to stop the puddles, but since my bug report was specifically for the console version and since console users can't use mods I'm not sure how to approach it. Might edit my original post to include the link to the approved mods just so computer players can find it more easily. I guess console users just have to deal with it for now, which stinks.
