Please, stop sending Sims to pool when clicking to Auto-Solve Hygiene

I play Sims 4 since 2016 (even though i have it since 2014, but I didn't have a P)C in that time) and I love the game, but there is one little specific thing that makes me freak out:
When I click in the Hygiene icon to auto-solve the motive and my current household has a pool, instead of Sims going to shower/bathtub, they go to the pool, and don't matter how many times I click on the button, they're always sent to pool. Due to this, I'm obligated to move the camera to the bathroom and send the Sim to shower manually.
I don't know if it's a cultural thing in US/Europe that swimming in the pool equals to take a shower, but it's very annoying to see the Sims going to pool instead of the shower.

  • Yet again, we have another example of this game's janky tuning. Auto-solve needs should send your sim to the most logical object to solve a low need: A bed if tired, a shower or tub if funky, the fridge for a quick mean or leftovers if hungry, and so-on. They should not go to the pool for a swim if they're funky, they should not go grab a glass of water or juice when hungry. They also should not automatically get a drink at all, because aside from bar drinks and assorted potions, beverages in this game are basically useless.

    I really wish they'd pay more attention to the AI tuning in this game to make it work more logically instead of having sims going up to the bathroom sink to wash dishes when you have a sink and dishwasher in the kitchen, auto-solve sending funky sims to the pool, and sims randomly trying to drink water all the time when they don't have a thirst need at all. TS4's tuning: So Bad It's Bad.

    This is an underrated comment.
  • My Sims did the same thing. I have to cancel & direct them instead of using the auto-solve. In fact, the same thing happened when I want them to sleep. Sometimes, they just taking a nap or drink a coffee, which normally happened during the day time, so I'm not entirely sure if it's the right thing.

    Could be worse. At least it isn't sending them to the pool to auto-solve Bladder motive!



    That sounds like it could work for Mean and Evil sims, actually...

    The pool has sure become popular! They go there to float on their back if you auto-send them to take care of low energy... *silly sims*


    What could possibly go wrong?

    On a related note, my Sims are always napping in the bath or the hot tub, even though they all have beds.
  • My sims also go to the ice skating rink when I try to auto-solve their hygiene. The AI in this game really needs to be fixed.
