A little frustrated

So i turned on the sims 4 for the first time in years last night to finally try to complete one of the GTW careers. (I chose doctor) I quickly remembered why I had stopped playing in the first place. First off I noticed that if I didn't fill up my sims queue immediately, they would wander off and do something I didn't want them to do instead of taking care of their needs. I had to cancel so many actions it was like trying to reel in a rambunctious toddler. Also the amount of actions I told them to do that they then just ignored in favor of something else was maddening. I had to tell them to do something three times minimum before they would do it. I couldn't keep my sim off her phone or trying to get a cup of coffee the entire time she was at work. Half the time she wasn't even tired or hungry so I don't know why she kept going to get coffee. I have never been so close to turning off free will and this from someone who never plays without it in the sims 3. Another thing I noticed is that unless you tell another sim to "care for self" while the other sim is at work, they do nothing to help themselves. I would come home with one sim only to find the other still in pjs on the computer with low bars on everything. WTH? Anyway I got so frustrated after awhile that I turned it off. Don't think i'll be playing it again anytime soon.
Edit: Also noticed the game would unpause itself a lot. I would pause the game to get my bearings and it would unpause itself and I would have to pause it again, sometimes more than once.

I think I'm having that coffee issue too! I noticed the other night when I was playing that my Sims were annoyingly obsessed with going to make coffee instead of just going to bed. I deleted the darn thing. First the endless water thirst and now coffee too? I wish I could just block drinking altogether. Well, except for the Vampires and their plasma preferences. That I like. >:)
