Question about neat sims

Neat sims definitely do clean autonomously a lot, even leaving a conversation to do so.
If you notice a change you might look at any of your recently updated mods that have to do with suppressing or changing autonomous actions. It could be that other autonomous actions have been suppressed so they don't have as many other alternatives to autonomous cleaning.

I'm sorry I can't advise you other than to suggest you remove your mod folder and see if the problem diminishes or is altogether gone. If it does fix the problem, then you're going to have to sort out which mod or mods is the culprit. You can either do the 50/50 method, or I will remove the mods, then return them one at a time, but if you've got several the 50/50 might serve you better. I would start with the mods you need as the first group, then removed them one at a time until the problem abates. Sorry you're having this issue.

I've got a problem with fires, currently. :open_mouth: I'm up to eight at this time. Same lot.

Neat Sims are very good, if I have multiple Sims in a household one of them have "neat" as a trait. I have not noticed them being over fixated with cleaning so that they interupt another activity just to clean

I love a neat sim, they keep the house so tidy :) I haven't had an issue with them being overly zealous with it.

Yeah since bust the dust, it's becoming absurd (which I don't have btw... just the patch that came along).

I think Mei Prescott cleaned my grill like 10 times in a single visit. One grill... 10 times...

I avoid that trait like the black death since then.

Sorry, didn't mean to post and run, I appreciate all the replies.

I may test playing vanilla for a bit, just to see if the behavior changes. But from what Dijktafone is describing, which is very similar to what I'm seeing, it seems like this is a feature not a bug/mod issue?

I honestly wouldn't mind their obsessive cleanliness, if it only affected their own properties and bodies. Some people are like that, that is fine. But they shouldn't be able to clean other people's homes or public places unsolicited. That's silly, no body does that.

I actually think it's great that some sims clean the public spaces otherwise my sims have to do that. We need to have a lot trait for cleanliness, same as we have the Gnomes trait for fixing broken objects overnight. And people do clean public spaces in real life too, sometimes out of necessity not just because they are neat freaks.

Sure, wiping down an occasional table or toilet seat before using it. But nobody goes on to clean an entire restaurant or park area, or any other public thing they themselves have no intention of using.

The only ones who should clean public lots are the lot employees, and the only ones who should clean homes are the home owner or their maids. Not our sims or any other guest imo. And in case they do, it should be frowned upon (like taking a shower at a friend's house in sims 3 :D), since it is incredibly rude.

There are no cleaners in a park, and I think it's nice that they clean some of the mess other sims leave behind. For restaurants, well, there shouldn't be a mess in the first place since there are waiters to clean. If they are cleaning objects that are already clean, I am still not complaining, but I'd rather prefer they wear a cleaning uniform so they don't look out of place.

I suppose the cleaning in the park doesn't bother me, if it's like picking up trash and stuff. That is normal, and nice behavior. It is specifically the obsessive cleaning of already sparkling clean objects at cafés and nightclubs that bother me. It shouldn't happen. If you rather clean than dance, stay home! :D

Also, sims shouldn't clean other sim's homes regardless of filth level. If the home offends them, they should leave, not clean.
