As of the newest patch on console "ver 1.20"
They are still jumping around and teleporting. They also seem to be going back to where my Sim was when I clicked the action rather than where we are when the Sims are together.

My Sims have also been doing this. They'll be heading to do whatever action and suddenly teleport to a different area then reappear and continue on their merry way.
Nothing game-breaking but definitely weird and annoying.

I thought this was due to the save file I've been playing the last year or so is very big (like 300-400 played sims), but now I saw it in a save file that I just created. And my computer is quite a good one.

This had happened to me too! Yesterday as a matter of fact! My sim May wanted to give Rosie a bath. She and Rosie were headed to the bathroom when Rosie suddenly vanished. She had to call the dog back upstairs to complete the task!
Also, since it happened at the same time as this glitch/bug, I tried to get a close up of May giving Rosie a bath. When I hit tab to zoom in more, she and/or Rosie would "disappear" as if I was going through a sim or object to get to the subject I wanted to capture. I haven't tried to repair any of the game just yet, but will possibly do that when I get home today from work.

Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This is a random bug
What happens when the bug occurs? A sim's movement will freeze, and then flash ahead. After flashing to a new location, the sim will flash back to their previous location
What do you expect to see? Sim movement not flash or jump all over the screen
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
The sim in this video is walking across a floor toward the kitchen. At one point, her movement freezes, and then she suddenly flashes ahead. After flashing to a new location, she suddenly flashes back to her previous location and continues walking. It appears a sim's movement freezes, and then the main software attempts to correct the freeze, by placing the sim in an updated (predicted) location. Once the sim is at the new location, the software attempts to correct the freezing a second time. This type of bug has happened multiple times, in different locations (both at a home lot, and in a remote location). It also affects multiple player sims. Player sims no longer walk across a surface, but instead jump around the screen. There is nothing I can do to prevent this from happening, or predict when (and with which sim or location) this will happen.

Hey, so the jumpy animations have been a bit of a problem for a while, but they are definitely getting a lot WORSE! Its gotten to the point where sims are being reset, and any actions that were in a que or in the process of being completed, they just completely be reset. Its actually beginning to be game play affecting. Its almost as though the game is resetting the sims automatically. From what used to be be a "Oh well you can tell its happening but its easy to ignore" to now its actually affecting game play and quality of life where its becoming quite disruptive. Like I said earlier, the jumpy animations were easy to ignore but since the recent patch, it has increased them significantly and caused sims to reset whenever they are sitting down on the lounge and socialising. My sims were making out and were about to go to bed to actually go to sleep, when they glitched and just stood there. Both their actions to go to bed and sleep were cancelled.
