Does anyone but me have the issue where (if you own a vacuum, the sim will vacuum (puddles, dirty diapers, etc). Wouldn't be a big issue but the vacuuming literally takes forever (well over an hour). Instead, if you don't own a vacuum, the sim will just pick it up or mop it up and it only takes a few minutes!
Whenever a maid encounters a puddle, they try to vacuum it up and get stuck in a vacuuming loop. I have to either get a sims to clean the puddle up at the same time, so they stop trying to vacuum it up themselves. Or I have to enter testing cheats to debug the maid
Could you please provide the following information
I do not use mods or cc, I'm playing on a HP envy laptop. I'm referring to multiple instances over multiple save files of either my sims, a butler, or a maid vacuuming one object (usually a puddle or a dirty diaper) for hours
Puddles are known to cause issues with vacuuming and it's part of this thread for maids/butlers: [VGSP] Tasks not/rarely done by Butler/Maid | EA Forums - 4995739
Need to check with a CM if they want this treated separately

Finally I've found someone else who is also having this vacumming issue! I've had this issue for months, at least, with sims getting stuck trying to vacuum both puddles and trash piles. The only way I've been able to get them ustuck from the vacuuming loop is to use 'Debug - Destroy object'. I've had it occur on multiple saves, and both with and without mods in my game. It happens with both NPC sims (maids, butlers, etc.) and with my actively played sims.
Adding my voice - I don't use butlers much, but decided to do so with a family I am currently playing with. If there is a mess of some kind on the floor, the butler will stand and vacuum for hours on end - even if I reset them, they go back to vacuuming ad infinitum.
Playing from PS5, this happens for me too...
