Re: My sims wont move but they still do the actions

@zzs3abutqe40  If your game works with no mods or custom content present, then the problem is one or more mods or cc items.  You'll need to test your content to find the problem file(s).  If you have a lot of them to go through, the 50/50 method can make the process much more efficient:

Keep in mind you may have more than one broken item, so you'll need to test each file at least once.

Re: My sim wont do centrain tasks and just stand

So, I continued testing today, as I thought there was another issue besides Laundry Day, as Sims danced instead of doing the actual command I gave them... Looks like they simply were stuck in that animation.

 

I disabled more packs and addons, down to only the base game being active, and they still didnt behave as expected... Then, when I resetting the Sims before letting them interact, they acted normally.

 

Right now, I finished a final test... Empty Mods folder, all packs activated except Laundry Day, resetting the Sims right after entering the household, and commanding them to hug. And they hugged! No freezing, no idle animation, no dancing.

Working as expected!

I merged your thread with the current master although I'm not 100% sure if it's the same. Thanks for the video. I see you don't have any packs which might be an indication that it's different than others in this thread or that it is the same but it just manifests a bit different.

Could you provide all the info asked in the solution post that you haven't yet.

Sims can't interact with objects properly

★★★ Newbie

In live mode sims can interact with each other but when interacting with objects it's weird. For example, when trying to interact with a computer the progress bar fills up and the computer screen switches on as if it were working but my sim stands in the middle of the room doing nothing or starts working on a different interaction (which also doesn't have an animation)

Hi... Just saying I had the same issue and followed @Ossborn's lead, reinstalled my packs and ditched laundry day folder (SP13) and the sims moved around as normal - in fact, I didn't even need to reset them... they spawned by their beds when I loaded the game. I'm sure it's not the same issue as the old sims-lagging thing.

 

Just to be double sure I put SP13 back and loaded the same save aaand... they were sleeping standing in the middle of nowhere, and the motive bar color won't change, either.

 

Also removing the pack solve an issue with open waters (Sulani, etc.) being broken and untraversable https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Sulani-sea-amp-open-water-broken-crashes-game/m-p/12386561#M24... So I suppose they had a common cause. It seems like it also causes Last exceptions. (I had a particularly long one yesterday, but it's gone now.)

 

Ps. if you had the same issue, could you check and see if your waters are broken, too? Open waters, not the pools!

Why do my sims perform actions from far away?

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

My sims keep performing actions from far away. For example, when washing hands. They wash on an imaginary sink where they are. They also , cant sit, shower and play on the computer ( they still play but like the sink problem) 

Note

: I do have cc but do not have script mods but i have deleted script mods incase thats the problem.

: I have tried verifying file integrity on steam several times and it does not work
