Fresh save here, I just used default Sims.
But I just noticed another thing I hadn't noticed before, as I had been switching immediately to the Speech-giver to take note of the new queued action, but...
Any Sim I manually command to watch the speech doesn't actually stay watching the speech. They'll just cancel watching after a few seconds.
Only if I let them autonomously start watching the speech will they then continue to watch the speech.
Of course whether they start watching on my command or on their own, the speech giver still gets an action in their queue to watch the Sims watching.
