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 expansion packs except Island Living, Realm of Magic & Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Move a sim into an apartment/lot, vote the Performing Arts N.A.P into effect, repeal
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim randomly stops and plays guitar, violin, or practices acting (performing arts) at random, which prevents her from doing her work, cooking, walking dog, etc.
What do you expect to see? No more random guitar/violin/acting that interferes with my sim's actions.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Eco Lifestyle
This bug happens even if the N.A.P was repealed. This only started after installing Eco Lifestyle pack. My sim does not have any instruments in her inventory; I never bought any for the household. It interferes with everything. My mods and cc aren't affecting this I'm pretty sure. I have tried moving her to a different world altogether, turned off autonomy, turned off NPC voting on N.A.Ps, restarted the game, nothing works.
They do go to work. They just don't perform any interactions - my sim will be working at her computer and before she finishes, she will get up and play violin autonomously (I have autonomy off, no instruments in her inventory). This happens every single time. She also will not walk her dog, cook food, etc., she just stops everything to play after Eco Lifestyle/the Performing Arts N.A.P happened.
I posted a thread and no one answered it. My people are stuck on "at work" even tho theyre not at work
I'm having the same exact issue, it's to the point where the game is becoming unplayable. My sims are missing classes for university and refusing to do homework and job related activities. Because they keep wanting to take out an instrument, that they don't own and start playing it. Please EA patch the game so that this problem doesn't continue! I can't even uninstall the stupid Eco lifestyle pack because of Origin automatically reinstalling it.
