Active Career Tasks Constantly Cancelled by NPC Interactions

Bug Reports

1

  • Game Version: Most recent (March Update)

  • Platform: Steam windows

  • Mods:
    Only active mods are those that remove outlines and shower blur. Plus a couple of hairs from in-game mod list.

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System I7 13700, RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB RAM, SSD

  • Steps to Reproduce: Try to complete any work task on computer

I have a save where my zoi works at Adam Entertainment, and since the update the instance of work tasks being interrupted seems to have increased. My character can never complete a 60 minute task on the computer without getting up and walking halfway across the building to interact with a random npc she has never even met before.

I just had to cancel this interaction and restart a work task 10 times in a row, which is pretty infuriating. The interactions are also often romantic, even when my zoi is not in a romantic mood, has no romantic relationship to the npc, and the npc is not even the sex she is interested in.

Note that this is with autonomy turned off.

That sounds incredibly annoying. Have you tried the setting in the options menu that prevents NPCs from interrupting conversations? I’m not sure if it works for other actions as well, but I just tested out an entire day at Adam Entertainment and I didn’t have this problem.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I have that setting checked, too. But I think that only really affects ongoing conversations, not actions. This is a new game started after the update too, so I was trying to avoid too many bugs!

Since posting I have also had my zoi get up from a work meeting to wander off and talk to someone, which is even worse, as once the meeting is ended the task is failed and cannot be completed.

Could you please upload the affected save file here? I’d like to check it to rule out possible save file issues completely and it helps the team to detect the bug faster of course :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s a brand-new save file, created after the latest update. I always restart after major updates. Surely there can’t be anything wrong with a new save?

Same issue here. I made a new save after the march update and opended a flower shop. The amount of times she tries to have conversation or a npc tries to start one with her is a lot and very annoying. Even between making flowers or gardening and i have to constantly cancel the interactions.
