Is this happening for Sims with the Glutton trait? Could someone possibly share a save file where this is occurring? Thanks! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302
I don't have any saves to share, but I can confirm that none of the Sims I've been having this issue with are gluttons. They aren't foodies either. The latest Sim I've had this happening with was a cheerful, cat-lover geek.

We are having trouble trying to reproduce your issue. We could really use that save! 🙂
Anyway, We have a question for you:
Do the sims excessively do anything after the snack machine is removed or is it only this item?
Thank you very much!

@SimGuruIcarus, you have a save in which you can often see the excessive attraction to a snack machine. It is the toddler neglect save you had me send you yesterday. The mother in that save is a doctor.
It's not as bad in that save as other doctors I have played because the sim has the neat trait. Consequently, she will often queue up to clean something rather than go to the snack machine if hunger is still green but I had a day in particular that stands out in my mind where the family lost the cost of at least 5 meals when I cancelled her trip to the snack machine. It was the last day I was playing the family before rotating to another household so I wanted to be sure she completed all tasks to max out pay and perhaps get a promotion. When her hunger level just turned yellow I wanted her to continue with examinations for a bit before eating but the AI steps in just a little too quickly to push her towards the snack machine. Before a task finishes clearing and another takes its place - boom - money for a sandwich is deducted and, may I add, not refunded if the action is cancelled by the player but that's a separate issue.
I'm trying to get into the habit of hitting pause as soon as a doctor finishes whatever the exam procedure is but the push to the snack machine is so strong and so fast it doesn't always work. The push to get a soda does occur even if the hunger bar is almost full and unless the sim has the neat trait, that soda seems to be the first choice for the game to push towards. I haven't removed the snack machine so can't say what obsession might take its place. With the sim in the save you have, other than a push towards the snack machine, the most common I see are clean, phone and singing. None of those take money from the household and other than slowing down the exam procedures are easily dealt with.
