Why Do Sims Have To Sit Down Now?

Cinebar · May 2015

Since this last patch for GTW, why are my Sims having to sit down before they can clean up a plate? Wait did I already complain about this? Well, sorry but they (it came back to mind) after I also saw them having to sit first before they can pick up a book on a coffee table then put it away.

This is all whether directed to do so or not, and or whether autonomously. And no, I do not use MOO. And no cc and mods. Or any cheat.

ETA: And just so you guys are aware when I type a sentence and then add a period and then my version shows a space between the period and the next sentence. But not after posting. The web site is bugged, also.

I would understand if it was only one house and or one game. But it's not routing issues on my side of the game and or the way I built my houses. It seems to be in all the houses I play and even in a different game.

I've been having the same issue, it's just with picking up objects or doing interactions. (ex I try to make my Sims hug and they sit down and then get up to hug....)

Same problem, here! :s

I have a slightly different variation. A Sim will finish eating and just keep sitting there. I'll direct him to clean up his plate; he'll pick it up, stand, then put it back down. I direct him to clean up his plate again, and he does it (without sitting back down).

Bump. Noticing this is happening almost every time now instead of once in a while

Hello @ledfut360.

Yes, it seems that bug has returned.

SimChelle1982 · July 2015

Yes this has been happening with me as well. My sims will go all over the house collecting dirty dishes after a party, bring them all to the dining room, sit down, then get up and either wash them at the sink, or put them down on the table. I then have to direct the sim to wash them, and the sim will lift them and take them to the sink. I guess it's kind of realistic. I do the same thing when I don't want to wash dishes.

I noticed this too. Also, my Sim will set the plate (or food being prepared) on the floor when the counter has something on it, then they won't pick it back up. I have to move it onto the counter or table for them to pick it up.

I've seen it in multiple houses and not just when picking up dishes. They have done it with books as well. Homework books that have been left out (lazy teens) and ones from the shelves. It's like cleaning up is just sooo strenuous -- lol. And thanks for the suggestion, Rosemow. I just added a "me too" to the post over there.

Same here, it happens every time I direct them to put a plate in the fridge. I use no CC or mods.

MillerFlame · July 2015

The same thing has happened to my game, I've actually been experiencing a couple new glitches with the update that I'll post about later.

DarkSuperNinja · July 2015

Yep, happening with me too! Maybe the books and plates are so heavy that they'll break their backs trying to lift them from such a low table!
