HI @corenren
I'm not able to replicate this.
Does it matter which interactions you queue ? Have you tried a fresh save and a different family for testing purposes ?
Also try repairing the game through Origin.
I caught this on video*; it's the 2nd time in a row this sim followed an automatically-queued action to go back to bed even though I cancelled that action as soon as it popped up. Both times she walked downstairs to the bed (wasting my time & hers) before turning around to go eat--and you can see her hunger is yellow while her energy is green. This is pretty common; it's happened to me with many commands in diverse circumstances.
I do have MCCC and a few LittleMsSam mods in atm, but since this happens to people with vanilla games I'm hoping the video is still useful.
*It's my first time uploading a video here, & it hasn't shown up yet--presumably still awaiting approval. I can't keep this window open indefinitely, so I'm going to submit this post & put the video in once it shows up in my profile. I don't know how to edit it, so it goes on longer than needed ('ask advice' window prevented me from ending the video). The graphic quality's bad, too. Sorry about that!
When I returned to play, I concentrated on the kid--& then discovered that the mom --for the 3rd! time--went downstairs to go back to bed. I caught a few seconds of that on video, & I'll post that here once it's okay'd. I'm really terrible at this, & accidentally stopped the video too soon, so you don't see her actually getting into bed. :/ The cancelled-icon is now gone from her queue, interestingly. It reminds me of another household, where my sim wasn't allowed to do a single thing until he interacted with the cat once. In this case, the cancelled action keeps reactivating until the sim completes it. I suspect that's relevant. In the pet-related case, the sim couldn't do any of the actions I queued because a new pet-interaction kept popping up as fast as I cancelled them; only after I gave up & let the sim pet the cat or whatever was I able to get on with playing my way. In this household, the sim had to get into bed before the go-to-bed orders would stop interrupting my own commands.
Both vids still had the 'can't play video at this time' notation, so I deleted them & re-uploaded them. Maybe this time it will work?
Aug. 17 2019--nope, it's been a week & no change. Googled the problem; found a post here saying this forum doesn't support .avi files (though that's not what the pop-up window says), d/l'd a file converter & converted both vids to mp4. Fuzzier than ever; now you can't even see that the 'go to bed' automated action is cancelled (which you can barely see in the .avi vid), but you can still see the sim marching off for bed (in both vids) even though her energy is full, her hunger is low, & I've ordered her to eat. Now to see if the newly-uploaded mp4 videos will ever become playable so I can post 'em.
If this doesn't work, & anyone in EA/QA wants to see the vids, send me a message & tell me how to get them to you. I'm not currently playing TS4 (bug re. open basements has made the last HH on my rotation unplayable) & may need a prompt to remember to come check to see if my newly uploaded videos are playable/postable this time around.
