Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Current most-likely replication route: 1. Apply 'Likes, Mid-Century Decor' to a Young Adult sim [[current Sim is young adult female and has Mid-Century, Modern, Sub-Con & Cosmolux likes, but most frequent trigger seems to be Mid-Century]] 2. Add Mid-Century decor to a house 3. Select Sleep interaction at before midnight [[that's when this sim was frequently going to sleep]] 4. Every night or 2 the sim is awoken w/o their Sleep need filled, around 12-3am, to auto-pilot to a piece of furniture, the Like bubble will appear while they appreciate the decor... this interaction sequence cannot be cancelled and does not appear as an action they are taking to attempt to cancel -- In my case it was typically a downstairs item the sim navigates to, but sometimes occurred upstairs near their bed as well -- No one piece of furniture or decor was the target of the interaction, but frequently it was the Tuff & Tuffeted Sectional Sofa
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims cancel actions which are typically completed to their entirety [unless other needs supersede] in order to self-navigate to a piece of furniture or decor item which aligns with a selected 'Like' So far this has happened in 2 noticeable areas while having full or mostly full needs and no other reason for the action I selected to be cancelled: *Note: to reiterate, these actions were selected by me, with autonomy functions off* 1. While sleeping, before the need is full and at odd hours of the night 2. In the middle of recording a Inspired vlog on the More Choices Video Station 3. In the middle of preparing/cooking meals
What do you expect to see? These actions should not self-cancel to pursue a 'like' whim and should be completed as per normal expectations for user-selected actions.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Home Decorator game pack, added likes/dislikes to new sims
Essentially my sim is self-canceling user-selected actions (Sleep, Record Video, Cook, etc.) and navigating to an object which fits their 'like' profile that cannot be cancelled.
They're sleeping, need's not full, around 12-3am the sim wakes up, no new action appears and they walk to an object, view it and the Like bubble appears above their head related to the decor style. Sure, sleeping sounds trivial, but in the middle of recording a vlog for Media Production, when a Sim cancels the action to go bask in the aesthetic glory of a rug... you have to start all over again.
A workaround until they fix it is removing all the "decoration-related" likes. This seems to fix the problem for most people.
