@EmeraldLaura IDK if it's a bug or just part of the new NAP nonsense. But as people have said on any of the threads about this issue, it's nearly impossible to complete ANY tasks or reach ANY goals, big or small. I don't have any CC/mods. I own almost every expansion/game/stuff pack. My autonomy has always been set to OFF. I've tried selecting the option that deactivates the eco expansion's impact on gameplay but that didn't seem to solve it either. I've even tried having my sims repeal certain NAPs through the gameplay... to no avail.
Since I downloaded Eco, I usually sit down to play and last about 20 minutes before I'm ready to pull my hair out because I feel like I'm constantly chasing my sims around the house trying to get them to finish a task. Maybe I'm too power-hungry, but I don't want my sim to do ANYTHING unless I tell them to. And I especially don't want them to stop doing something I commanded them to do... to do pushups or bake a darn cake.
Frankly, if I could easily figure out how to do so (if it's even possible), I'd completely uninstall the eco expansion. My gameplay came to a screeching halt when I downloaded it.
