This is a new one for me. I'm currently working on a new save with absolutely no mods at all and I've not been using any sims except for one for testing. I just added a new one and I gave her a conservationist career and when the first task came up to research conservation, I could not get her to complete the task. It would either fall out of the queue completely or it wouldn't even make it there in the first place. There was no route failure reaction nor was anything placed strangely other than the table was on a platform. I tried sending her to a different computer in a different location and the reaction was the same. I couldn't get anything to work. I then noticed that in both locations I tried, the desks were not on the ground floor. One was on a platform and one was on the second floor of the building.
I was finally able to get the computer to work when I moved the desk out onto the front yard. This is weird because this has never been an issue before. I just did a repair a couple days ago when I had a crash.

No clutter on the desk or table.
It does seem to work if the sim sits down first before I ask the to perform the task.
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@Keijra I'm merging this with the thread on that issue.
Could you send your save to Nick as asked here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Sim-cancel-computer-interactions-Only-use-while/m-p/9414522#M152818
