Routing issues

Greetings !

I searched in this forum, but : finding 11 years old discussions (nobody cared about) will not help ...

So i decide to make a bug report - in fact it is a "game-fun-ruinous" dysfunktion in my eyes !

Ok - i just try to discribe a few recurrent situations :                                                                                                                       -   adult & toddler, standing next to each other in a room with enough space, playing the toddler, i give the order „ask for ...(whatever)", now i would like to see that the adult interact with the toddler right there,      > no way !!!   the adult went down stairs and into another room ... the toddler starts to go there too, but that takes time .... meanwhile it gets tired or hungry or whatelse ...                                                                           -   a couple in love, they already stand nearby a "cuddle-blanket", now a give the order to use this blanket - there is enough space ! there is no need to go downstairs and out of the house ! to start the interaction !!!                                                                                                                                                                                                   -   adult Sim, i give a few orders , so the sim has to walk ways, one order is „do something with the cellphone", when the queue comes to the order "phone" : it isn't the way that the Sims use the phone right where she/he is standing ... ! ...NO !!  Why should she/he ??!!   => the Sim goes the whole way back to the place where she/he was standing when i was giving the order !!!                                                                                       -   infant, i would like her/him doing her/his homework right where she/he is when i give the order .... > no way !                                                                                                                                                                                                     -   any Sim who are able to read a book, why aren't the able to read the book in the place i give the order ??!! E.g. the bed or the chair they are sitting on ... ?                                                                                                             -   yes ... this problem with standing up or changing seats without a reason !! E.g : eating or watching TV ....                                                                                                                                                                                   

                Is this purpose or an algorythm out of control ?!                                        

                                               will maxis do something about this issues ?   

                       THANKS              &          playwell

    My Sim started cooking, grabbed the ingredients from the refrigerator, then walked downstairs to to bathroom in the farthest corner of the house to prep the food on the bathroom counter instead of using any of the multiple available kitchen counters that were right next to the refrigerator, then walked back up the stairs to the kitchen to cook on the stove. 

    Additional information: This behavior happened after going into Build Buy and adding the bathroom in the basement level. After saving to Main Menu and resuming game, the routing issue resolved itself. It is possible that the routing defaulted to the most recently added counter (in the bathroom) and the routing corrected itself after the reset provided by saving to the main menu and resuming.

  • Just right now i started playing again ... something i forgot : toddler, i placed the meals nearby the toddler and there is a seat the toddler can use nearby too ..... (it seem to be random) ... but the "prefers" to "walk miles" till it sits down to eat !!       Even it is very hungry !        ... and on top ! & not rare :  the toddler don't start to eat .... ?!

  • Yeah, the going back to complete an action where it was originally queued is super annoying
