Stop walking away from me!

Yes, recently this has been happening a lot in my game :(

Yes, that used to drive me mad all the time.

Fortunately for me, I only play with a vampire, so I avoid the issue by teleporting to the person and mesmerizing them

It irks me when I queue a sim up to talk and said sim will run all the way to the edge of the map, waiting for the sim I queued up in front of their house. Then the passing sim will reach the edge and disappear cause in that half a second the sim arrived, my sim was like, nah, bruh, we don't talk to this person today.

Well I have the tip for you.
1. Pause your game
2. Shift click and reset the sim you want to talk to.
3. Then select a social interaction and unpause.

I do that too but it's a hassle :|

I've noticed this mainly happens in San Myshuno for some reason? The sims there, with their coffee cup in hand, just don't react at all. Every other world it's about 50/50 I think but in SM I don't even bother anymore.

testingcheats on
add sim to family
make them talk to you
as a family member, you will never lose them forever as they step through the sim zone and turn invisible

one time i was in my house in san myshuno and i saw a very talented sim playing guitar for change far below my apartment in a park... i was zooming far far away with my camera from where I was.... anyway she stopped playing and started to disappear so I quickly clicked on her and picked some option about talking to her..... then she disappeared.... 5 seconds later she appeared in my apartment to fulfill the command ... I was amazed.... now I use this technique often....today I zoomed far away....saw a sim I wanted to talk to..... clicked talk.... and then I went there

testingcheats on
add sim to family
put in a doorless room
wait and hour
yell at screen "nobody walks away from me!"
compose self
add door

For me it happens mostly in Forgotten Hollow, I guess.

The sims 3 had this option but idk if the sims 4 does, you can try looking through the options menu to see if you can give them lower free reign. If there’s nothing like that in TS4 try pausing, then teleporting your sims to whatever object or sim you want them to interject with using the “testingcheats true” cheat and then get them to interact with it/them, also keep your eye on the task bar just in case anything else pops up that your sim wants to do so you can cancel it.

Honestly we shouldn't have to jump through hoops to initiate a simple conversation in the game. They should fix this.
