Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC(Win10,Origin)
Which language are you playing the game in?: English
How often does the bug occur?: Every time
What is your current game version number?: 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?: Only BaseGame (degital delux version)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: Move a shim a long distance.
What happens when the bug occurs?: Sims don't run, just walk
What do you expect to see?: Sims run and move long distances.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?: Never used
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?: After Latest patch
My sim does not run when I tell it to move from the right edge of the area to the left edge. It just walks lazily while fiddling with its phone. (Depressing)
The patch notes say "Sims jog once again when using The MotionMonitor Gaming Mat and PrioPerfection Motion Sensor Game Mat." So I let my sim play with The MotionMonitor Gaming Mat, but my sim is still walking. The joggers that were all over town still haven't shown up.
How can I let my sim jogging or running?
Has anyone seen a sim running in the game? Please, please don't tell me this is a new spec.

In the latest patch 11/01/2022, I verified that this issue was fixed.I am very happy with this correction. Thanks to the team for all your hard work.
And also joggers revived in town
Additional explain:
What I could verify is 2 points the below:
1. "Go Here" is that Sim run towards the clicked position.
2. When clicking on an object and give a command, Sim run towards the object.
Also, this verification was done in the vanilla base game, so it does not include about pack-specific behavior or Occult Sim movement.

No, they can now also use the cellphone while jogging. I think it's a bug

In Live Mode, I am still able to select "Jog Here" instead of "Go Here" and my Sims will jog to the spot I directed them to. They just don't jog there autonomously anymore. It's been like this in my game in some worlds for a long time now, I know it was at least happening in Oasis Springs even before the patch, but now it seems to be this way in all worlds.
P.S. Yeah they will still check their phones almost continuously while jogging.

It's bugging me for immersion purposes that none of the regular morning joggers are jogging anymore. Must be a heatwave, lol. But still would be nice for them to fix that.

@Kathykins I'm guessing because most people use this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-don-t-run-autonomously-over-long-distances-anymore/m...
This thread is a bit of a collection.
- Sims themselves not running (thread above)
- No joggers around town
- Still issues with the gaming mat.
Good Luck
