I'm frequently getting interactions I'm not longer doing getting stuck as the first item in my Sims's queue. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure when it started. Cancelling the interaction just causes the interaction to display with an X through it. The only way I can clear the interaction is by resetting the Sims or going to World Management/Travel. Going off Lot for a Career does not remove it.
Oh this is a classics :P This is happening since sims 1, dosent bother me at all tho ;p
Experiencing this again. Playing on PC with mods removed.
-What life stage is your Sim currently in? - elder
-What interaction is your Sim currently doing, and what interactions are queued? - my sim was running his small business, I was letting him do it mostly autonomously, so it was all tasks related to that. In his queue, he had "wait for tea brewer" stuck, even after the tea finished brewing. I had to reset him to make it go away.
-What game speed are you currently playing on? A blend of 1x and 2x
playing xbox seriesX , normal Speed.
Playing with young- & adult Sims, the soccer-ball often leaves its "symbol" in the queue after the "playing soccer with xy"-action was canceled.
This has been happening for me. Usually only for my adult or young adult sims, often happens for toddler interactions like holding them. If I cancel holding the child, the interaction still remains in queue. I’m on Xbox.

The amount of money paid should not be causing this to happen. I have several videos showing what is happening but am unable to upload them bc this area does not accept dropped .mov files. I am playing the new to town scenario in normal game speed and Farrah is standing there talking with two Sims and now she is stuck while her queue is reaching past the normal limit of basic interactions like going to the restroom and saying goodbye to people. Time is passing by normally, but she and now 5 Sims are stuck on her front porch. Playing on computer. The first time about an hour in the game just itself down and took me all the out of the game back to the EA app. this time it is just stuck. I see everyone saying they reset or resolve it themselves by resetting but is that really the best the sims 4 can do after all these years?
It happens all the time. That white icon someone posted a pic of earlier gets stuck literally in every game session. I usually just ignore it or shift-click reset sim. It's kind of a very minor inconvenience that I never even thought of mentioning it. It's good that someone did.
It's the Sims though, we are used to such things. Sims suddenly drop the entire queue of interactions that I planned for them perfectly, they respond to some interactions too late, they get stuck, sometimes my sims get frozen all together in a lot because some item gets bugged, like a chair or whatever, and suddenly all sims freeze in default position, (standing arms and legs open like Da Vinci's drawing) then I have to figure out which interaction and which sim or pet caused it with which object and I need to reset both so the all other sims and pets turn back to normal, etc. these things happen all the time. I assume some of such bugs happen because I use move objects cheat a lot in almost all of my builds, so some items cause interaction errors so they get bugged, etc.
It's kind of the nature of the Sims games. Such stuff used to happen in TS2, and TS3 as well, we're accustomed to it. :)
