Hi, one of my sims has writer aspiration and he needs to write a book on computer. I have 4 young adult sims in my household. My sims own 3 laptops and had no problem to use their own computer. I bought a new laptop for S sim. R and G were modding games, J was playing game, and S was about to resume writing a book. But he keeps waving his hand showing J sim on thought bubble and can't use the new laptop. It's not a route issue. I placed the new laptop in the kitchen and J was playing game in back garden. Is that only happening in my game? Is there anyone knows how to have the 4 sims use their own computer at the same time? I appreciate all tips and advice, thanks.

That's DU? I thought it was in base game now. Interesting.
Another thing to try - start a different activity on the computer for your author, then when they sit down and start, queue up the "continue writing" interaction and cancel their current activity. It should just chain straight to the writing activity.
Yes I have DU but usually I set the security setting as only using for my whole household. I will try the individual setting. Thanks!!
I can lock computers and I don't have DU, so I think it's base game.
Personally, in my game, if I give my Sims a computer. I generally try to give each there own instead of shared. Works much better that way I find. For laptops especially! I may leave just one desktop that anyone can use though. Depends on the household.
One thing to keep in mind is if a Sim wants to order something like upgrade parts on someone else's computer, then they will need to be allowed access. I usually just unlock it, order whatever, then select the original Sim whose computer it is then set the security back to that person only.
