Death by Financial Consulting

There do not appear to be any advertisements at all on Financial Consulting, which makes it a mystery why they EVER do it. More research is ongoing.
Wacky! I wonder if these led-around-by-their-objects sims somehow think they're playing SSX or L&P3, but since that's no-autonomous in my game they're accessing something else in their attempt? Just a thought. I'm so curious to know what makes them so insanely captivated by this option. Much appreciation for the ongoing research.
I've decided for now simply to let those sims without the sense to feed themselves starve to death. Or pee themselves. Or pass out. Or whatever other means they've chosen for their lamebrained suicide attempts. And I'm considering a policy of smiting for sims who spend 7 hours straight just sitting in the hot tub. It's time for some tough love. Or failing that, some merit-based wrath from above.

I'd add the basketball hoop to the list of FT objects/activities that produce OCD behaviour in sims. When testing my latest house a heavily pregnant Cweiberdink would attempt to play basketball at any and all opportunities, rather than eat, sleep, pee, wash, rest etc. More annoying still is that the cancel basketball action doesn't kick in until the sim has walked outside to the practice court.
NothingToSee:
I had to remove the computers from my Sim's houses because there is at least one sim in every household that will sit at the computer all the time giving financial consulting for hours on end.
Also because certain visiting Sims will make a bee line for the computer and hog it while others stand around nearby complaining that they can't get at it.
Very annoying.

I am starting to think that the only way to counterbalance the obsession of everything is with a larger, more obsessive "GREEN ME!" action that the sims will be absolutely fixated on using as often as possible, which locks itself out when the relevant task has been performed.

You mean like: UberObject has maximum advertising for every motive, and the guardian functions test if a given motive is critical, then passes the sim onto something else, like the bathroom controller, to take care of that need?
