I think that sometimes it’s a matter of them waiting for someone to arrive from far away, but as I’ve already reported we also have problems with player characters and NPCs getting stuck because in my case there are NPCs that remain frozen for hours (real hours) and I’m unable to interact with them in any way.

Just experienced the same. Had not much time to play after the update yet but it just happened the way you were showing in your first video.
This seems to be a new issue though. I did not experience this before the birthday update. Did it happen in your game before the update as well or is this also new? Probably a new bug…

they have added the option to not be interrupted while talking that’s good … but still you are bothered when not talking by someone a million miles away not on screen stopping your cued up activities cause for some strange reason they have made it Top Priority Drop Everything someone wants to insult you but it will take an hour or two for them to get there I am constantly cancelling out these intrusions into even trying to dig in several piles of sand just to have my zoi stop digging and wander off down the street to meet someone they don’t even want to know cause they are just a bully there are so many insulting bullies interrupting activities and it’s a pain to constantly delete the interaction just so you can go back to your cued up activities

This is crazy… didn’t know it now happens also besides talking..
After the update I now had the new case like @RealmOfZoi showed in her first video where you cannot interact with another Zoi even though they are just standing around. And of course the coversation interruption but this seems really to help now with the new setting.
Will watch out if the interruption for other activities happens also in my game.

@Killerpoet so the option to not be interrupted by NPCs doesn’t work for you??

The option the not be interrupted by NPCs is listed as “experimental”, I’ve just noticed. It’s also not working in my game. Approx. 2/3 conversations are still interrupted by NPCs unfortunately.

@HeinziDerHeld I first actually thought this at least would work now. First in-game days I did not had any interruptions during conversations with this option turned on but now it happened again. Zois were standing for more then an hour to wait for some random Zoi to join

Honestly, I had forgotten it was an experimental option. Anyway, I see the issue has been put under investigation, so I’m confident the developers can look into it sooner or later 
thanks

I want to add one more feature to “waiting for Zoe” - in the dance club, even with autonomous mode turned off, my Zoe joins several NPCs for a group dance and they all wait together for someone to come from the street. I can’t even make my Zoe dance separately - when I click on the dance floor, I get a message that she’s busy doing something else! This is so frustrating

Live case tonight… Zoi came back from downtown to her house where a babysitter was taking care of the newborn.
Immediately I clicked him and ask him to “Leave the House”
He is not moving…
My Zoi is not moving…
Time is passing and nothing is happening AT ALL.
.
.
Then I used emergency rescue on that zoi to unfreeze him.
He got ejected from the house and quickly walked back in.
I tried asking him to leave the house AGAIN… And now I get “That zoi is busy” message.
.

Ejecting that bugged zoi out also ejected my newborn from the house and the crib is gone >.<
Come on this is really annoying now… lol.
Thanks for fixing !
