Heya @Anonymous
I've reviewed this with the Sims team and they've confirmed that this is by design.
It would be nice if you could pin/confirm actions on those rare occasions they do something you actually want them to, but I’d hate if they didn’t cancel by default because I have enough trouble with not being able to cancel things that should have been canceled, like putting babies on the floor when they’re trying to sleep, strolling to the other side of the map and back when their energy is already low, going to get a drink of water when their bladder is already in the red, etc.
If they are actually doing something you want autonomously, you just have to wait until they finish before queuing your own follow up actions. Or if they haven’t started yet, just choose it yourself - like in your example of they’ve queued use toilet and you want to add shower. If they’re still on their way, just tell them to use the toilet then the shower and they’ll barely pause as they switch from autonomy to player directed on the same action.
