Sim not responding immediately task/action

I have noticed this in my game as well, even in a brand new save. Sometimes resetting the Sim works, but I have found the most consistent success by sending the Sims to a different lot and then they reset themselves. I have noticed this issue persisting even when I exit the game and restart.

Autonomy should be on EA priority list. Here are the top issues you EA should focus on instead of chickens (yes they are an issue but sure af not the biggest one) . 
1. for years now your biggest problem is autonomy. It’s coded terribly. This right here is a symptom not a cause. This is part of the HUGE autonomy problem. 
1. Sims freeze when assigned tasks. Considering the delay and poorly designed task wheel it’s an absolute **bleep** show

2. sims cancelling assigned tasks. Just dropping them. It really is not that hard to code so user assignments are a priority. For my sim to stop cooking or doing anything I tell them to to check on the effing toddler that is already sleeping or getting up to eat on the toilet that I did not tell them to do is just unbelievably frustrating. Imagine trying to play a game which is supposed to be designed with the intention that a user directs their avatar, but instead the avatar (which is the main point of a life simulation game) never does what you tell them. Instead it prioritizes game assigned tasks randomly just because the game creator is too lazy to prioritize the very thing the game is designed to do. It’s been years. Just have the game do what you tell it. That is what sims is

For one second imagine you assign a task, speed it up. Then the game freezes (rather sims does because game clock apparently works just fine), your sim just stands there then you pause and the sims decides to cancel the task all together. You assign another task and your sim just goes off the screen. You can’t find them. So you Reset. Then you assign another task. The sims immediately cancels to do some other crap, then you assign multiple tasks and the game decides to reorder them in a nonsensical matter where your sim has to walk the entire perimeter and waste hours just for something that could have been done in seconds if they only did stuff as you told them to in the order you gave and not in the game order which decided to change the order of tasks assigned. Assign task again and the sim walks off and keeps walking. You tell them to stop. They don’t. Finally they stop but now they also cancelled the task you gave them. You try again and assign a task. You switch to your other sim. Come back just to find out the sims decided to delete the entire task assignment to do some other bs. So you click, wait for a task wheel, give the sim another task, cancelled, click, wait for task wheel give another task and sim just stands them, cancels, walks off to pee because at this point you did not play sims. You played fight with the sims 4 design game. Then you again try and sims does one thing then forgets half way and walks away. Is this note frustrating? So is the game. It’s not fun. It’s frustrating, infuriating and unpleasant. Fix autonomy. Lower autonomy to red needs only, stop auto bs when a player assigned tasks. If my baby dies so be it. It’s my game and if one effing parent is already there they don’t need to pass the baby like a football, I have to use mods on mods on mods just for the game to do anything at all. Just FIX THE AUTONOMY. It’s been years and you focused on small issues. They will need fixing but right now this game is unplayable. 

PS: stop pretending the Gallery is working. It’s not. The additions were unnecessary. Also, just add more filters because many people # like morons creating a jumble of unfindable 💩. But first have the Gallery actually connect. Instead of shutting off after a few minutes. I can’t even go through my saved following picks without getting no results despite having no filters. The gallery is broken. Completely broken. 

Btw these complaints date 2 years to 2 months again. WILL YOU EVER FIX A SINGLE IMPORTANT ISSUE? 

On Xbox One.

I feel this the most with a big household (6 sims, 1 cat), they take forever to do anything, even the ones I am not playing will just stand arround motionless for long, like the game pauses or something, even canceling actions takes ages to register.

Its very annoying....
