Fixed in Patch 1.28.25
- Sims will no longer woodwork to the exclusion of all else.
Yes, mine too. I've had workbenches in my households forever, but my sims never paid much attention to them. Now they stand in front of the thing and make one sculpture after another after another to the point of exhaustion. When I rotate to another household, every workbench available has a sim already standing at it with a sculpture queued and ready to go. It's kind of creepy, lol!
Same.. There are several other issues with autonomy, but this one is the most annoying. I basically have to micro-manage my sims (might as well turn autonomy off), or put the workbench in the inventory when I don't want them to craft anything.
Same. Clean, recent install. No mods. New game.
On a 20x30 lot, nowhere is far enough. They do drop queue, but other than happiness, they don't neglect other needs. As others have mentioned though, happiness is an issue. Also, household and Sim inventory bloat is an issue too. Like others, I regularly, at least twice a Sim day, need to clear all the statues and knife blocks from the Sim's inventory. I also once a day need to have a Sim at the bench scrap the full round menu of unfinished projects cached at the bench. I then also have to go into the build mode household inventory at least once a Sim week and delete the dozen or so unfinished projects the same stored there too.
The recent install is because of a new computer, but I shudder to think of the performance hit that inventory bloat would have caused on my old one.
