Sims obsessively use objects

I looked through the compiled list of bugs and didnt see this on there, so if i missed it and it's on there, oops! Anyway, I'm so tired of having to delete every single computer in the house simply because it's allll my sims want to do. It's the same issue with having a bar on the lot. I know that was "fixed" in an update a while ago at this point but it's STILL an issue for me, it never stopped being an issue. My main issue is the computers, but the bars is also still an issue, my sims make themselves alcoholics.

Please also just don't put anything in here. This is about object usage. A lot of issues have their own threads already.

Would be better if you actually upvoted these like the water/juice/coffee/Tea drinking here: Excessive Drinking (Water, Juice, coffee, tea, ..) (Patch 1.58.63) | EA Forums - 4966133

Please check the compiled list as I really don't have the time to list them all currently

It's the other way around in my game. I always have to actively make them garden.

Sims have a serious addiction to computers... Also I notice that if there's a computer that's unlocked, NPCs are much more likely to come and use it than doing anything else. They won't talk to my sims or anything, just straight to the computer. Here Bob Pancakes is unconcernedly using my computer as my sims are running out as a fire has started during the welcome wagon. To be fair, I just started the save and didn't have time to lock the computer yet.

Yes! I started locking the computer for everyone but the household because of this too.

The dancing, my GOD the dancing. I had to delete all stereos from my one lot because my two adult sims wouldn’t stop. I felt like the preacher from Footloose. I want this household to have more children but this bug makes me not even want to play the game anymore.

Adding the observatory to the list. I simply cannot place this on any lot or sims autonomously use it excessively. This includes ones on pre-made lots. The only time I have seen one used somewhat correctly is during the GeekCon in San Muyshuno.
