Sims keep stopping/cancelling out their actions to do other things

My Sims will no longer perform actions unless I either instruct them to do so multiple times or keep the selected Sim selected until the action is completed since the update released on June 1, 2025

examples:

  • my sim stops cooking to practice writing (he didn't have any skill previously and is not in a writing career)
  •  my sim stops taking care of her baby to listen to music on another floor (the radio was off until she turned it on)
  • my toddler wakes herself up from sleeping even though she's exhausted (there was nothing in the room to wake her up and she didn't have any other negative moodlets)

    I noticed this happening a lot more often since the Enchanted by nature patch:

    I was playing with a fairy, trying to do daily activities like getting to know other fairies in the lounge, asking them for fairy dust, and it cancelled out so many times after pushing it into the queue. It appeared to me like some other Sim was targeting mine for something and that cancelled all my interactions. I noticed similar things happening on my own lot, when trying to garden or do other activities outside, and suddenly some other sim came from far away to mine, and for the whole time mine was just standing still not doing anything until that other sim arrived and did their action. This cancelled my own Sim's interactions out though.

    It's been pretty unplayable since the BG update for EBN. And I didn't get the pack. Sims dropping their tasks is so frustrating and the other bug of them just standing there forever has made me shut it down a lot in frustration.
