Did any of you try queuing an action after you used the view option? I used the museum in Willow Creek and the view action on the knight statue. I thought my sim was stuck since it was taking a long time, more so than looking at something at the museum usually does and there was no progress circle. So, I queued my sim to go pee and then the view action and task completed when the next action dropped.
I fully endorse this method: Queue actions after View, wait, SUCCESS! I stumbled into it by chance and it worked perfectly. (On a related note, the comments in this thread feel like a superstition being born.)
