Hey all,
This thread has been closed as this is currently functioning as designed by The Sims team.
If you feel this was in error, please create a new thread here with as much information as you can provide. Thank you!
This is not a solution. Please, mark this as unresolved. There's a routing issue with computers.
If you put a computer on a desk, it doesn't remove that as an available slot. You can still place things on the desk, without bb.moveobjects on, that interfere with the computer slot. Your Sims can also place coffee mugs, plates, etc. in the computer slot, as if the computer wasn't there. It will literally stick out from the center of the computer. If you're having routing issues on an empty desk, you have to go into Build mode to move the computer and see what your Sim has placed inside of that slot. This means that, if you put ANYTHING AT ALL on a desk, your Sims can't use the computer any more. At least not without having them sit first and then use the computer.
It keeps getting marked as resolved, even if I try to make a new post, it keeps getting moved into this forum. No one seems to have put two and two together to see that it's a routing error because computers don't properly take up a slot. It's not a bug. It's not a MOD problem. It's not an intentional design feature. Computers aren't programmed to slot correctly and it's causing routing issues. Please, fix this. I'd love to be able to put a lamp or a stack of mail next to the computer without it causing routing problems! It would also be super nice if my Sims stopped putting dirty dishes inside of computers.

This is what I'm so confused about. I am having the same issue where my sim doesn't use the computer without being directed to sit down first. I saw over and over that it has been marked as resolved since it's 'functioning as designed by the sims team', so I posted this thread in suggestions to see if they would consider changing it but I got two comments saying that their sims game doesn't do this and their sims can use the computers w/o directing to sit first, which leads me to believe this is not functioning as it's supposed to. I'm frustrated that this issue keeps being marked as resolved.
