Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Base Game, City Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Within the first minute of loading the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim starts playing game on computer, sims plays while standing with no physical action or movement anywhere on the lot. Doesn't go to the desk, doesn't sit in front of the screen. From there no other actions can be done until reset. Even with a reset the sims stay stagnant.
What do you expect to see? Dancing npc and playable sims with no music. Most actions stagnant and do not occur.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Latest Infant patch.
I try to make my sims do something and they just stand there, or they'll go over to do it and just stand there. If I click sleep then it says they're sleeping in the bottom left but they're still just standing there. The games impossible to play.
Solved! Go to Solution.

- Interactions will no longer jam and prevent progression through the interaction queue when caused by stuck chickens on the lot.
Fixed in Patch 1.110.265/2.01
I don't know if that was all that was to this issue. The thread is a bit of a collection.
Please create a new thread if you are not using mods/cc or pirated content.
Good Luck

Since installing the new infant update the autonomy in my game has gone rogue and even when I turned it off they still don't listen and the mother sim won't sleep for more than a second (which is doing nothing to her needs bar) anyone know how I get her to sleep? She's drinking back to back potions from the rewards store currently.

Conversations first occur but are stagnant afterwards with no physical conversation occurring only smiling and stillness. Most actions do not play. Can't even get sims to find a job.

HI @AlejaU1
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by clicking on the dots in EA app.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck

It was a brand new save that I created to try out infants but I'll make another one now and try it again. Thank you

I just tested it in a new save and it's still playing up in that one too.
