I will mark this as fixed as I believe all NAP problems are solved now and only occur when the NAP is actually active.
Please create a new thread if you still have issues with this
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All the packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game and watch the NPC interacting
What happens when the bug occurs? Every NPC sim pulls out a violin or guitar and starts playing even though they don't own or have the instrument in their inventory. They also do not develop guitar or violin skills from this either
What do you expect to see? Not have so many sims pull out a guitar and start playing it
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After installing eco lifestyle
Every NPC just pulls a guitar or violin out of thin air and starts playing, they will end an interaction before it's over to start playing, even with autonomy off. It's very annoying. Happens like every 30 secs
I was having the same problem and it stopped after I repealed the "Support the Performing Arts!" Neighborhood Action Plan. Can you check if that NAP is active in your neighborhood?
I removed that NAP and turned off autonomy, they're still playing the guitar and violin. Restarting doesn't help either.
I had the NAP active in Willow Creek and then moved to Windenburg, where no NAPs are active yet, but the problem persists, especially with the Sim that joined my household...
