Sim won't work at specified computer

Hi there! I have an annoying problem. I have multiple computers in my household, in rooms that have a focused aura and an inspired aura. My sim is working on the Bestselling Author aspiration, and I want her to work at one of the computers in the inspired room. Even though I have my sim Sit in the computer chair before starting to write, my Sim will get up out of the chair, and wander to another computer (often in the Focus room) to work. I want her to work at the computer I specify. Any ideas about why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thank you!

    Yeah, that does happen to me too.  But I've found that if you use the computer security option on the computer to assign a computer to a specific sim, then the problem is greatly reduced.  You can assign multiple sims to the same computer too.  You'll probably need to set all the computers on the lot because if you leave one open then they will try to use those.  You can lock all sims out of the computers too.  And it will stop visitors to the lot from using the computers as well.  It's not 100% effective though as I have found that some autonomous computer use will happen at times, but it does stop most of it.

    Hope this helps.
