[AA] Child sim cancels interactions to play on BamCo playground equipment

I am trying to have my child Sim complete the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. But she won't sit down to complete the "practice typing" part; she always immediately jumps up to go and play on the new BamCo playground equipment from the new EP Adventure Awaits (which is in her backyard). 

My only workaround is to remove the equipment from the lot. 

I am playing on PC and have not used mods in many months due to the bugs they were creating. 

Edit by me: Just adding to my original post that child sims are also doing this away from home. I had a child sim on a getaway, and they perpetually stopped eating/drawing etc to go play on the playground equipment.

  • I'm having the same issue. Never mods or cc in my game. It's incredibly obnoxious and it's stopping me from putting modular playgrounds on my home lot because of how intrusive it is.

    Oh finally someone speaks about this, thank you!

    This happened to me too. I controlled my child Sim to completing draw while inspired. I've succed make him inspired with many efforts, and the buff only lasts for a short time, but what I got is he always cancels in the middle drawing just for playing on playground... Like, WTF??

    Yeah I know the new playground is cool, yeah yeah good job, but looks like ts4 team give them a code to be priority task.

    I'm so mad, MAD, because this aspiration is so easy to be completed before this playground items launched. At the end I must lock the child in the room so he can completed the aspiration goals.

    Mine does the same, can’t even get my child sim to eat.. I had to build a fence around the playground and then lock the gate so my child sim would take care of her needs. I don’t have any mods so definitely just an issue with the game.

  • Just wanted to add that I'm having the same problem. I had to remove the playground equipment from my lot because I could not complete the activities for the Forever Friends Event as my child kept canceling out of things like watching kids tv to go play instead. When I re-added the equipment, the same issue happened again. I did not notice this while on a playground lot with the equipment, just my home lot.

    I'm finding this too. The playground is on the home lot. Cancels everything unless I queue it up multiple times until it gets done.  (Or I lock her in the bathroom until she showers herself). 

    I am using MCCC though, so in my case I couldn't swear that it wasn't a mod problem.

    Mine too. She is always stopping whatever it is I told her to do to go play.  Including things like showering or eating.

  • Since playing with the new pack my sims child keeps going on the playground. This is to the point that he will cancel other interactions to play on it and won't look after himself when his needs are low
