Does anybody know if there is something I can do to get my sims to sit down when watching TV in TS4? It's honestly driving me crazy to the point I get so annoyed at the dumb AI and I quit playing the game. It's such a little detail I know but it's one that I find is really just bothering me so much at the moment. My sims will just stand behind or in front of the couch instead of just sitting on it and it's driving me crazy.
How does this kind of thing go unfixed for so long?

I'm guessing this is a difficult thing to fix? Considering the whole sitting down interaction has been broken and fixed several times already.
I think the couch was originally placed with MOO cause I downloaded it from the gallery but I've already moved and placed the couch normally myself without MOO so I don't think that's the issue.
But why is it a difficult thing to fix? The developers are supposed to be professionals at this kind of thing. The clearly can make these things work right as they have done in the past. I've been playing the Sims 3 lately and the sims always sit down to watch tv or eat in that game.
Do the sims use the couch otherwise for other activities?
Yeah they do sit on it sometimes and even very occasionally I've have had them sit to watch TV it's just that most of the time they don't. I've tried moving all the surrounding furniture items in case anything was causing an obstruction but nothing seems to fix the issue.
I just tell them to sit down myself, but I agree it is very annoying. It's like the getting up from your meal to hug someone or the switching of chairs to be closer to whoever they are talking to. Grrrr.
I think it must be an expensive TV, it's a big TV although not the huge cinema size one.
Oh I'll try moving it closer to the TV and see if it makes a difference. It's a big TV so might look a bit weird with them sitting close to it.
I have to force them to sit down whereas before that update they would sit down once they turned the TV on.
I now post on the forum while this happening to save my own time... 😂
Sofa is two squares / rows away from TV.

I'm saving my sims from the disappointment of that pack by not buying it.
@Sharonia I think there is a bug for when sims should sit and they stand. May be related to the sims standing in front of the fridge eating instead of sitting at the table, etc.
I just think that EL patch broke tons of things that were fixed with earlier patches and the EA team is working to diagnose what went wrong and fix it. The fact that it hasn't been patch is an indication that it is quite a big problem or an inter-related problem. I just browse the EA bug reports here and there to see the progress.
Yeah I don't remember it always being this way, it's really been driving me crazy the last few times I played. I'm taking a break from TS4 until they fix the game. I just wish they would hurry up with it. It's like they forgot it even has bugs. They were to busy making rubbish packs that nobody asked for.
