    Hi @Schwarzbart00 - I have different emotional rooms set up, too. Just in case you didn't know, there are emotional items that have a menu choice "View <emotion> Work". If you have your sim use that particular interaction, they'll gain an additional moodlet that is persistent. So if you have them "View Focused Work" they'll get a +1 or +2 focused moodlet for 2 - 4 hours. It's very handy and can push them over the edge from "focused" to "very focused".

    As far as why your sim kept running to the other computer, I wonder if they were finishing a task that they started on the other computer? I've had the same happen to me occasionally, usually it was because they had started something autonomously on the other computer, or I accidentally had them start writing a book in the wrong place, for instance. I don't know if playing a game or web browsing gets stuck the same way. 

    Anyway, just a thought on why it might have happened. Happy simming!

I suspect it was related to the moodlet gained from "Collect Qualitative Feedback" because once this moodlet was gone I could send the Sim to the other Computer normal again. 

Edit: Just got the moodlet Focus Tested again and I still could use the computer at the inspiration room so my guess was off. At last I now can use both PC without trouble again although it would be nice if I knew the reason why my sim behaved strange before.

    @BlackjackWidow yes it was when I did continue writing a book. I doubt that I used the PC in the Focus room to start the book but I'm not 100% sure on this anymore so I accept your answer as solution.
