Here I am Jan 2020 and I'm still having an issue where my sims get stuck for over 3 hours game time and dont accept the commands. I dont have toddlers, so I dont know that glitch, but I have cats and dogs and at the vet clinic it takes well over 5 in game hours to get through one patient because ALL sims get stuck for numerous in game hours. I have found if I open build mode it will do one of two things. Catch the sim up to the time, or change the time back to when the sim first didnt accept the new commands. It's a guessing game as to what I will get. Its extremely frustrating.

And after posting the above reply, this mess is what's happening, one vet sim is getting stuck at the table, and another vet sim is coming to the table with a patient, and they're glitched into each other.. and they arent moving. Tried build mode, didnt work, tried manage worlds, didnt work, so now I get to wait it out and see if it changes..

And here it is June 2020, the day of the most recent update and STILL my sims won’t do a thing when I click on them and tell them to do something. EA has made a mess of this game and they refuse to fix it. It’s been 4 years and STILL this mess has not been fixed. Uninstalling. Thankfully it was free through PS Plus. Would never have bought this mess of a game. Maxis, why did you sell to such a horrible company????

Well it’s been 4 years or longer since the game has been out. So maybe that might answer your question. They haven’t fixed this issue since day one so it doesn’t look like they will ever fix it. They will just update the content and fix a few bugs for their newer modules they come out with and fleece the community of their money, but they won’t address the issue at hand. It IS EA after all. Thankfully it was a free game for me, so I didn’t lose any money. And I would never purchase the modules for it anyways, so I’m ok with waiting. As of right now, I have it uninstalled on my PS4 since it is completely unplayable.

On this session, I had a sim freeze in place, unable to move or act upon any commands I chose. The movement and action commands scroll off the screen. This sim stayed frozen until he starved to death and died. The only way to resolve this is to find any and all stuck sims, and restart the game before they die. In this video, I zoomed in to show the commands scrolling off the screen
