[AA] Objects Sims don't use/can't use on Custom Venues/Getaways

Hello everyone,

I already reported about the painting activity not working on custom venues and gataways but I noticed that it's not just painting. Other objects are also not used by the sims at all even if it's the only activity on the schedule:

  • Cauldron: Spellcaster sims don't use (except maybe one random sim that is not even assigned to the role)
  • Seance tables: Sims don't use them at all even if it's the only activity available on the lot, on the schedule (they prefer talking to each other or even play with clay if they find some)
  • DJ booths (I saw a report about the DJ role, but this time it's the DJ activity)
  • Taking care of needs (Once again, I only have one sim doing this and the others prefer to talk and do other things even if they're hungry, tired, lack fun, etc...)
  • Apothecary table (one again, just one sim does the activity)
  • Robot Station
  • And of course painting (but there's already a report on that one)
  • Cleaning

These are all the activities I tried that don't work, I haven't try anything else for now (well I did for some activities but they work fine: pottery, play an instrument, singing, cooking, mentoring, training, all of them work)

I noticed something, sims from the household tend to not do the activity at all, the only one sim to do the activity is always a sim that is selected by the game automatically to fill the number of roles

    Literally my entire purpose for purchasing this was to make Hogwarts. Every single skill I wanted to use does not work with custom venues. They will not do magic, they will not use apothecary tables, seance tables, gemology tables, or cauldrons. There is no option to study tomes or vampire lore.

    Right? I wanted to create an occult (mostly spellcaster leaning) game, and this was one of the reasons I got this EP.

    So that you can be in non-Magic Realm to have Sims acting more occult-ish activities, seances, gemology, cauldrons, apothecary tables, etc. Now I find myself just waiting for fixes, and my desire to play the game since AA has been deflated : /
