Sims in conversation frequently skip queued interactions

This has been a slight problem for years but since the last update I'm noticing it happening CONSTANTLY and with more impact. 

When I'm having a sim have a conversation with another sim, I queue up several interactions in a row. However, the sim will often cancel/skip 3-4 of the queued interactions completely. This messes with the overall flow of the conversation (e.g. if I'm trying to romance the other sim and I've queued up a smooth recovery, then some friendly interactions and then a flirty interaction, if all of a sudden the sim skips the "smooth recovery" and the friendly interactions and jumps straight to flirting again that causes more relationship damage!) and causes problems when I'm switching between household sims and think I have set up the original sim for a little bit with those queued interactions while I manage the other sims.

  • This just happened to me when I was trying to get a sim to ask another sim to be their assistant (With the Road to Fame Mod).  That sim just skips it when I wanted them to do it.

  • I think that certain interactions just absolutely cancel queued up interactions with no rhyme or reason behind it. I queued up the full amount of interactions (7 I think) and all of them were talking ones except for the one and I picked that one last and that one knocked out all the other ones and it was the only one that played.

    This could also be related to this bug here, where the queue cancels when we direct a Sim in a conversation to "Sit and chat here" and all similar interactions:

    Yes, I wish all queued actions were carried out as we have picked them for the sim's to do. But we very often have to queue it up all over again.

    One thing that is almost always dropped from the queue is getting leftovers from the fridge. If someone else is currently by the fridge or in some other way making the fridge occupied, then the action is dropped. Why? Make them wait until their turn but keep the action of getting the leftovers in the queue, please. Also please make people move away from the fridge when they have taken their food. They don't have to stand and block the fridge by eating their whole meal right there. Make them go and sit by a table. It's nicer and makes opportunities for them to talk to other's too who might be eating or doing their homework by the table. Eating in front of the fridge door and blocking it is very irritating in large households where the fridge often needs to be used. It's quite sloppy too in my opinion.
