The only way I've been able to combat this is switching autonomy off, which I don't want to do at all. As I mentioned in my own thread, maybe this could be toned down a little? I don't want my unplayed household vacuuming obsessively on the stage at the Starlight Awards! My played household with autonomy off will behave well, but the other house is blitzing through PBP with their vacs! Ever seen that at the Oscars? :D. It made for a fun photo and I sat there giggling, but now all of my actors are out of the career and I'll not attend any social events for now. Even at the pub... out come the vacs. Not that any sims are embarrassed, I'm getting embarrassed for *them*. They'll interrupt anything to vacuum. Even when woohooing I've seen the vac cued up, so cancelled it. it's worse than ping-pong and basketball. I'm glad my sims feel all squeaky clean, don't get me wrong, but not to the detriment of relationships, that can't be right, can it?? Oh well, just my two-penneth of what I've noticed since I got the kit. Time will tell...
I do not work For EA, but I do like to help people if I can.
Keep on simming and have fun!
