Why did my sim do that

I have a garden with a dragon fruit and strawberry plants. I send my sim to harvest and take care of her garden which consists of more plants. I put all the plants in their containers, the fridge, apothecary table and keep in her inventory the plants I'm going to use for fertilizing. 

My sim's very hungry, she insists on eating before I can fertilize the plants. I have her make a fruit salad, thinking she'll use the strawberries, instead she uses the $495 dragon fruits I was going to fertilize the garden with. If I'd known she was going to do that, I would have sold them instead of saving them for fertilizer.

I let my sim invite in a fairy and talk to her. She hates comedy but every conversation option she chooses is to tell a joke. I have to pause the game, select the conversation choices, unpause, let them go through the choices, pause again and select some more choices.

The next day comes the phone harassment. There's a famous sim at place, no sim's busy, 2 seconds later, there's a party at the ruins, no sim's busy. Minutes later,  Grim calls to offer a job, a call asking for money, a call asking to sell sim's love. In game minutes pass, real life seconds.
