Re: [FIXED] [OR] [ECO] Sims constantly making De-Stressing Decoction

The Flower Bunny just tried making the de-stressing decoction and set my house on fire.

Please make it stop.

Make it stop.

Oh god, make it stop.

You can laugh. It is funny. :P

The irony of lighting themselves on fire while making a de-stressing remedy is not lost on me. 

The De-Stressing Concoction is triggered by the Self-Sufficiency NAP.  It should only be NPCs doing it (which I suppose would include the Flower Bunny, lol).  Unfortunately, there's a bug where played Sims can pick up autonomous behaviours intended only for NPCs.  It happens when a Sim is on a lot as an NPC (either visiting the active family, or just walking by, or being visited by the active family), and the player switches households.  The NPC behaviours aren't cleared as they should be when the Sim leaves the lot normally, so they stick around (more or less) forever.

There are three ways that I know of to fix it:

1. Mods: @simvasion has a couple of mods to fix NAP-related problems.  Google "Simvasion mods"
2. Using cheats:
   
   1. Play a different family
   2. Invite the affect Sim(s) over
   3. Ctrl-Shift-C and type "testingcheats enable"
   4. Shift-click the mailbox and select "Instant Enact Neighborhood Action Plan (Cheat)..." - select the NAP they're affected by
   5. Shift-click the mailbox and select "Instant Repeal Neighborhood Action Plan (Cheat)..." - select the NAP you just enacted
   6. Ctrl-Shift-C and type "testingcheats disable"
   7. Continue playing
3. Temporarily disable the EP.  This is a very destructive method (it removes all items from the pack that you've used in CAS or building, and completely resets Evergreen Harbor).  I did this last week, and it worked, but with two other effective workarounds now, I wouldn't recommend it anymore.

Once your Sims are fixed, they can still possibly get "re-infected" any time you switch households (unless you use Simvasion's mods).  Keep that in mind when playing with NAPs, especially with NPC voting on.

@PansekshuElle  this is Answers HQ, a site where players help other players.

You've said you have the mod and it doesn't work - do you have the version from 10 June? That didn't include a fix for sims that had already been bugged out. The newer version from 17 June does - so if you haven't tried that yet, download it again give it a try. It was only released two days ago.

EDIT to add:

• If the Self-Sufficiency NAP is legitimately active in your neighbourhood, then making herbalism potions is one of the autonomous things pushed to NPCs visiting your house along with fishing, gardening and repairing by design (so that's not something the mod will change).
• If you're still finding it being too spammy, and it's not being caused by the bug where NPC visitors are doing it when you don't have Self-Sufficiency active in your house, then I'm sure the devs would value your feedback right here saying that it should be changed. At the moment, I think the only potion that NPCs can ever make autonomously is the de-stressing decoction - it's basically a copy of the Hermit from Granite Falls' behaviour, except that this one triggered by the NAP doesn't perform any appropriateness checks first to see if it's socially acceptable for guests to start cooking in your house.

Update: this is what has been happening when my Sims actually try drinking the Decoctions. It's not a gif, the guy is raising his empty hand to his mouth over and over forever until I stop him. Anyone else?
