Sims steal/drop actions/random romance/etc.
With the new Eco Lifestyle pack, players are reporting that sims are acting out of character and constantly distracting themselves. Common complaints include but are not limited to:
- Sims stealing, or objects disappearing lots
- Sims spawning and playing with clay or future cubes
- Inappropriate flirting and more
- Frequent fights, usually without provocation
- Inactive sims constantly cook white cakes
- Sims dropping actions to engage in the above
There are two causes that work together to create this situation. One is that various Neighborhood Action Plans push sims to engage in actions that might be out of character, e.g. Sharing is Caring enables stealing, Free Love encourages flirting and more even with non-partners, etc. The other is that NPC sims can be influenced by action plans in other neighborhoods, not just the active one.
