Autonomous actions get canceled
Product: The Sims 4

Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.55.105.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By just letting the game play itself while having autonomy on
What happens when the bug occurs? I have been playing for a while without issues, but then this bug appeared suddenly! Now, my sim will have autonomous actions they want to do, but the action cancels out on its own. Often I can see the icon and then a grey X through it, meaning it gets canceled, but I also hear the sound of a canceled action alone, almost continuously, while not even seeing a new action in the queue (so, it is cancelled before even showing up). I also notice that my Sim can get a lot of impulse for autonomous actions in a short period. It can go on one after the other. Some autonomous actions my sim does do, like putting laundry in a basket and cleaning the bath tub (in 2 different rooms). So I am not sure what the problem is here. I notice it is mostly computer actions they desperately want to do but never execute. I also noticed that when my sim calls a friend autonomously, they do not hang up, it can go on for hours and they can even get hungry and so on. If I tell my sim to do something, they do it, however they now also often complain that they cannot reach something or something is in the way. When I make them walk in shorter steps to an object and then make them use the object while they are close to it, it always works. I have deleted all my mods and cc and the bug still occurs... ☹️
What do you expect to see? That autonomous actions are being executed like before, that my sim can go anywhere in the house and do what I assigned, without problem (where there is clearly no obstruction) and that my sim hangs up the cellphone after a while, especially if moods decay to a certain point.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

- @Revertica Aaah oh nooo, nevermind! I am too stupid. I spent like 2-3 hours trying to fix it. Apparently I went too overboard with decorating on the desk-surface which is why my sim could not go behind the computer T_T
