Dynasty glitch: sims walking away from player directed actions to read books with Scholarly Ideal activated
Hello, no mods or CC, windows 11 PC here. I downloaded the new expansion pack this morning and tried to play with the dynasty mechanics in a 4 person family I created previous to the game being released. However, I had to quit without saving because my sims would quit doing any action I directed them to do and go read books instead. I had books EVERYWHERE because they would quit partially through. leave it out, and go read a different one.
I had one sim create the dynasty. For the dynasty ideals I chose mysterious, artistic, and scholarly. The scholarly ideal is the one that had them wanting to read books. I had one sim who needed to make drinks to advance her career, and one sim who needed to paint to advance her career. I directed each of them to do their career task (make a drink, paint on easel) and both kept quitting autonomously to go read a book. I would cancel that interaction and send them back to their tasks. They would quit autonomously and go choose another book. I had to cancel and send them back six times before they completed their job tasks.
It was a complete nightmare. I don't play with autonomy off and never have. I have never had issues with this family before the new pack. I believe the issue is DIRECTLY related to the dynasty dynamic, because when I quit without saving, I went back in and there was no dynasty created and I had no problems getting them to do what I told them to do (make drinks, finish paintings). They were in no way trying to read every book in the bookcase instead of doing what I told them to do. They weren't even interested in reading the books in the bookcase.
