@SalixCat I can't move them to another lot because "this sim is busy."

Another annoying side effect showed up today. If an active sim is in an event and their risky action happens to show up on the "busy" passive sim, the active sim cannot perform the risky action.

This is particularly annoying, since risky actions already have problems that don't appear to be getting fixed (ie: popup tells me they are ready for risky action, but it doesn't show up unless I move to a different location and then back to event location; risky action won't show up at all, even if I change locations; having to spend 20+ energy in event before getting risky action option, etc)

Hi @beecatt !Is this sim one that you had  on your game and you removed it and came back? Could you DM me your player id so I can further investigate this issue? Thanks!

    @EA_DragonsEye No, I have never removed this sim. Only made them active/passive.

    I think this issue is related to a glitch I've been having on occasion since the update back in Dec or Jan:
    - finish an event (event A), start new event (event B), close game
    - open game: sim is in event A
    - complete event A, try to start event B: event B is disabled as though sim is already in event
    - close and restart game: event B is now available

    I think that this "busy" sim was in the middle of this glitch when I made them passive, and I didn't notice because event A and event B were both cooking events, and I didn't try to start a new event before making them passive, so I didn't see that the event was improperly disabled. Now it seems the sim is stuck in passive because they are stuck in an event that isn't even happening (they are always at the stove, looking in the fridge, checking the microwave, etc).

    I will DM with my player id shortly
