Game Is Spamming Autonomous task bubbles

First of all I have no mods installed, never have, and yes my game is up to date with the latest update.

My game crashes at seemingly random times after my sims get locked into a task queue. The most recent one happened when I had an adult sim, toddler sim, and child sim at home. The child sim was sitting in a chair doing her homework and I was trying to get the adult sim to pick up the toddler to give her a bath. All of the sudden all three of my sims froze and get I can hear the task sound (like when you select a task for them to do and it pops into the far left queue area) non-stop. I click on my child sim and all the sudden that task queue bar on the far left goes all the way up to the top of my screen, but there were no task bubbles actually in that panel so it was just empty. After this my game completely froze. I couldn't exit out of the game or alt F4 it either. I had to shut off my computer in order for the game to actually close because even after trying to force quit in task manager the game screen just went white and wouldn't close. It seems like the game got overloaded by a bug with too many tasks being queued (even though I didn't queue them). This has happened multiple times in the past few months and it's always randomly.

  • I had a similar issue, I have deleted any and all PCs in the sims household and it seems to have fixed the issue. This likely is due to sims automation and wanting to do something on the PC

  • Same for me in an unmodded as well as in a modded game (PC, Win11). Out of the blue my sim will spam the "Chat with" interaction for their computer. I don't see it when in speed 1 or faster. I need to pause the game exactly before the auto-canceling is happening to see what interaction my sim wants to do and it's always "Chat with". I then lock the computer for everyone which makes the spamming stop. But I don't want my sim to never use their pc autonomously just because of one bugged interaction. 

    I recorded it when I was trying to find out what was happening, so the included vid is in a modded game. But it still happens exactly like that with a brand new save in a brand new Sims 4 folder.

    Edit: There is no crash log and no LastExceptions. It's just happening, over and over again with no hints why this is happening.

    Sometimes Sims instantly queue up many identical actions (in my case, it was the dancing action). This doesn't happen very often, but if you don't pause the game quickly enough to turn off the music, it can lead to a game crash.

    Platform: PC (Steam/EA App)
    Mods: None

  • Repeated issue with toddler sim queue being spammed with bob to music action. Goes away after about 30 seconds.

  • What happened:

    Game was spamming many same interactions into queue, then crashed when I used 'Reset Object'.

    Settings:

    Autonomy/Full, Savings/all off (saved my self).

    Explanations:

    This happened in the save file made in August that put into the flesh folder made after 22/Sep update. This time, I played through so long time, maybe around 10 hours. So moving/display had begun a little bit laggy.

    This family is all Aliens but Caleb.

    Edit: Crash log can't be attached because that has 6000 characters over. How can I do? EA_Solaire​ 

    This is the crash log (edit Oct/07):

  • Queue glitching just like in the attached video. Playing on PC and fully up to date. Have tried repairing the game and clearing my cache. Mods currently installed are: Better Exceptions, MCCC, Pandasama's Childbirth Mod, Mod Guard, Relationship & Pregnancy Overhall and the FOMO Events Unlocker Mod by Seijan, but have removed all mods and the glitch is still happening.

  • When Im playing in my sims world, hundreds of spam tasks (dancing) keeps popping up on my screen. Need it fixed asap

  • Just downloaded the newest update for 10-27-26 and I am having problems with the Que, that being things which get done next in the que of what the sim does, being filled up massively and not stopping, and dropping out as fast, but it does not quit until I reset the player via debug.. EA you need to look at this, yes I have mods, but this never happened at all before the update with the same exact mods, I do not view this as a mod issue.. Its happening when I have turned on music and start to dance, it will overload the que with Dance commands..  will hold for now with this, but wait and see if others have the same problems.. Thanks EA..

    Hi Livelysword​ 

    you really need to test without mods/cc. They get outdated with patches. The dance one was actually fixed so if you are using an outdated mod, it could still be in your game.

    I'm merging this with the main thread though so also provide the information asked in the first post.
