This happens on PS5 also. My played sim kept running out of the library to use a portable computer she doesn't own.
I’d completely forgotten this was a thing because I had a mod installed that blocked it, but recently pulled all mods out while testing a different problem and it’s still happening and still annoying. My Sim kept running away from the conversation I was trying to make them have in order to pull a laptop they couldn’t afford out of thin air.
I've never seen this happen before until just recently so it must have been reintroduced with one of the newer patches or DCLs. All of a sudden, my Sims are randomly pulling laptops out of their back pockets and running across the yard to picnic tables to use them. This is especially annoying in Strangerville when I want them to focus on other things.
