Is this driving anyone else crazy?
You see a sim walking by and try to initiate a conversation, but they just keep going and the action hovers in your queue for a while before disappearing. Then sometimes your sim will go running off, trying to intercept the target at the edge of the zone, where sometimes the conversation will actually occur but more often than not it doesn't.

Fortunately for me, I only play with a vampire, so I avoid the issue by teleporting to the person and mesmerizing them

Try pausing the game before clicking on the Sim you want to talk to. I have found this works 85% of the time.
1. Pause your game
2. Shift click and reset the sim you want to talk to.
3. Then select a social interaction and unpause.
I do that too but it's a hassle
I've noticed this mainly happens in San Myshuno for some reason? The sims there, with their coffee cup in hand, just don't react at all. Every other world it's about 50/50 I think but in SM I don't even bother anymore.
add sim to family
make them talk to you
as a family member, you will never lose them forever as they step through the sim zone and turn invisible
one time i was in my house in san myshuno and i saw a very talented sim playing guitar for change far below my apartment in a park... i was zooming far far away with my camera from where I was.... anyway she stopped playing and started to disappear so I quickly clicked on her and picked some option about talking to her..... then she disappeared.... 5 seconds later she appeared in my apartment to fulfill the command ... I was amazed.... now I use this technique often....today I zoomed far away....saw a sim I wanted to talk to..... clicked talk.... and then I went there
add sim to family
put in a doorless room
wait and hour
yell at screen "nobody walks away from me!"
compose self
add door
For me it happens mostly in Forgotten Hollow, I guess.
Seriously, tho, I thought this was better, if not totally fixed. But I wonder if it changes from Save to Save, depending on how recently the Save was started? My San Myshuno Save is pretty new--that's where it seemed better. I lost my older one somehow when the new system of saving started.
I also echo the notion that we shouldn't have to use the cheat console or enter debug mode to make the game work properly.
This.

No but seriously, this has been a pet peeve of mine for years. I'm so happy I'm not alone.
