The Sims 4 AI is impossible!
The AI of TS4 is honestly driving me nuts. Especially in libraries. Librarians themselves constantly insist on pestering my sims while they are doing homework, and it's becoming infuriating. I purp...

I greatly dislike the TS4 AI autonomy in general and the priorities it has where nonsensical things trumps more important concerns.
I can understand if the librarian is feeling lonely when the social bar gets to a point where it is required to interact as the priority comes to the surface (when it goes yellow from green) and in the instance where the right priority is put to the front and acted on, i don't have an issue with that, but when they are constantly chatting to your sim?
i've noticed that sims not under your control, they hardly chat to each other and it would be great if the priority interaction allowed the librarian to chat with other sims that you don't currently control. in fact sims in general should be more chatty to each other rather than bothering just your sims all the time.
i could list many instances where nonsensical things before more important than things that you sims needs.
1. Getting a cup of coffee over sleep when tired. Coffee is the last thing a sim needs when tired.
2. Pregnant sims getting coffee. It does no good for the child taking down caffine, but if it is required, one cup of coffee should be the limit regardless and it shouldn't be a priority at all.
3. Cups of water after light exercise, none stop without fail (despite a recent patch suggesting it was fixed).
4. Cooking food or grabbing a plate of food when the sim has just eaten recently.
5. Sims continue working out past the fully filthy stage when in clubs and refuse to take to the shower. Those not in clubs do something similar from time to time.
6. Sims not putting away books half the time when in clubs (and it is worth noting that the MC fix for books has no effect when it happens either).
7. Sims stand around doing nothing for a bit of time on some occasions.
8. Famous sims prioritize "react in disgust" over any other activity they were about to engage in when a sim is nearby or pet is nearby, this leads to point 7 frequently. (i would like that react in disgust removed)
9. Sims that get the pristine reputation often have other sims stop and clap or jump in excitement and whatever it was they were doing they stop leading to point 7. (i'd like the reaction to that either removed or sims hold the last order in memory so when they do react, they can get back to what it was they were doing instead of standing around without instruction).
10. You take another sim with you not in your household to say the geekcon, while your sim does geeky things, that other sim just stands there doing nothing or playing on their phone. if a sim in the group really has no interest in what is going on, they should be allowed to leave the group and head out instead of standing there doing nothing.
I can keep going.
Sufficed to say, the librarian is just one more to the list. it would be great if it were dealt with, the whole thing. i don't know if it is possible to get the whole thing looked at though.
