The dreaded clay bug is back!
I will be reporting this bug next time I’m online, but is anyone else experiencing a return of last year’s ‘clay / future cube bug’ that was related to the EL release? NAPs are turned off in my ga...

I don't think it's trait related. All of my sims seem to get obsessed with it, IF they have it. If there is a lump of clay anywhere on the lot, they will head straight for it and won't do anything BUT play with it...or with whatever the one thing sims obsess over happens to be at the time.
The cooking bug was the bane of my existence for months. Soooooo glad that's finally fixed (and REALLY hoping it doesn't get broken again with patch we'll get for the upcoming EP). It's been so nice to be able to turn on autonomous cooking again and NOT have sims cook 40+ dishes in one go, and to be able to host events at the house without every party turning into 15+ sims crammed into the kitchen fighting to get to the fridge/stove even though there were two fully stocked buffets on the lot. :)
Sometimes the obsessions will work in my favor, though. I had a very large lot that had several lumps of clay on it - I'm talking multiple houses on a 64x64 lot with 8 sims living on it during the last clay spawning bug...so, exponential clay, basically. I wanted to get rid of every lump because I was at my wit's end with the clay obsession, so I let one of my clay obsessed sims lead me to every single lump of clay on that lot just so I could pause the game and destroy them ALL. :D
...and she did, too. She led me to all of them one by one. As soon as I'd destroyed one, she'd head for the next one, and the next, and the next, until she'd spent an entire day trying to play with them all because nothing is more important than clay to...athletes? :D
I only had one sim *actually* pee herself because she wouldn't stop playing with clay long enough to go to the bathroom. She had the childish trait, though, and she's kind of a derp anyway. She does that with toys, too, so she's by no means a benchmark for "normalcy" in any capacity. :p
I'll just say I do a LOT of cache clearing, troubleshooting, and factory resets and leave it at that. :) I love this game, and I'm a dev myself, so I can appreciate that developing something like The Sims is no small task, but the bugs really do drive me nuts sometimes. :p
