One of my current Sims has 2 very annoying obsessions - making anti stress deconcoction (I didn't even know this was a thing!) on the barbeque, then leaving it on the ground beside the barbeque. She also is constantly checking the garden, she will even stop eating to do so! Meanwhile, her husband has become a couch potato - he will grab a plate of food, go to the living room and watch TV. I'm sure he would do it for hours if I didn't direct him to do something else.

These sound like bugged actions re your Neighborhood Action Plan? I think "Green Gardening" make sim do a lot more gardening, "Self-sufficiency" makes them brew the herbal thing, and watching tv for hours might be caused by the bug with never ending movies on tv.

Sims being way too busy with the plan actions is a major problem with the Eco Lifestyle pack, we are all affected. The urge to use the BBQ day and night without even eating the food they grill, has been around for a long time.

With this particular household I was experimenting with the (possible) relationship between pet disappearances and any N.A.P. that had to do with gardening. So I made sure to not to vote for Green Gardening and Self Sufficiency (or any that even had the mention of gardening) N.A.P.S. The herbal brewing may be a residual thing going on from the last neighbourhood they were in, as I think the Self Sufficiency N.A.P. was in place there.

Unfortunately the bug makes sims perform any active NAP actions, regardless of they match your local NAP or a NAP that is running in a different world. I thought the bug affected NPCs the more, but I'm pretty sure my active sims performed all kinds of NAP actions before I installed a mod that stops them doing this.
