Lump of clays, books and graphic tablet and other bugs

Good morning,

Since the latest update (3rd june 2020) and latest game expansion pack, I've got really annoying gameplay bugs such as:

- random appearence and abusive use of lump of clay by dozen in sims inventory

- random appearence and abusive use of black cover books in sims inventory

- abusive use of the graphic tablet by every sims surrounding me + my own sims

- abusive use of "do push-ups" action

> I keep deleting the clay + the books and they keep reappearing in my sims inventory.

> he doesn't have the klepto trait.

> no mods used.

The most annoying thing is that even with autonomy off my sim always do one of this 4 abusive actions instead of keeping my requested action up.

I insist on the fact that this kind of gameplay never occured in the past and that they are not enjoyable because it makes my game unplayable.

I hope I'm not the only one having these issues and that you could eventually help me guys having these ones fixed with an upcoming patch.

Please click on "me too" if this is the case.

Thank you,

regards

pc

    @mcbethstudios  What world(s) are you playing in right now?  Is this an existing save, or a new one?  As a test, please start a new save in one of the base game worlds, and let me know whether this keeps happening.  If it doesn't, try playing in Evergreen Harbor, again with a new save.

    This isn't the norm, or else there would be many more complaints about it.  But there's clearly something broken for you, and testing will help find out where.

    Edit:  What initiatives are currently active in your sim's neighborhood?  At least some of this might be releated to one of them.

    I have the same issue.  Use of clay, tablets etc.  I also have Sims constantly pulling out the future cube.  You sell it and in about 10 minutes they have several more in their inventory.  People at the gym kept play in with clay and future cubes.  could not make them stop.  Very annoying.

    I submitted a bug report about the Lump of Clay because that's what I'm seeing.  It's happening in all worlds I visit, with NPCs not from my world/neighborhood, and just yesterday I cleared out 40+ of them from just one of my playable Sims in the household.

    I'm having the lump of clay issue. I think this is spamming from the "Promote Creative Arts" action. I removed this action with cheats (instead of wasting time with a petition) and the issue is still occurring. I removed all mods, reset the folder, repaired the game and still having this bug. There are other spamming actions that are constant even after petitioning or removing the Neighborhood action. Example, my Sims keep spamming "Mean Interactions" due to "Rough House Encouraged". I petitioned to have this removed and the actions are still occurring.
