Sims 4 Growing Together time bug

★★ Apprentice

I’ve downloaded the latest expansion for The Sims 4, Growing Together, and ever since then my game is unplayable. After just 2-3 minutes of playing the game time stops but my Sims keep “moving”. They’re not doing anything just staying in place and moving their heads/arms. Even if I wait it out nothing happens. I tried removing all my mods, repairing the game and clearing the cache but nothing has worked so far. I was sooo excited for this expansion too 😭😭

Re: Game crashes in Live Mode after update

★★★ Apprentice

Pretty similar issue here, but, no proper crash.

WITHOUT any mod.

With a brand new Sim in a new save.

My Sim will perform a few actions correctly, BUT, pretty much any interaction with any object or another Sim will cause all actions to hang indefinitely.

Can't cancel the current action. CAN remove queued actions. The only option to un-hang the Sim is to use resetsim.

Impossible to cook anything, impossible to order food from food stand leading the Sim to die from hunger. In fact, asking my Sim to cook make it react just the same as if I used resetsim on him.

Impossible to plant things.

Mostly impossible to use the computer, or the Sim will just stand in the opposite side of the room while the computer turns on.

Sims will often get stuck in the dancing loop, and there is no music playing, and nothing capable to play music.

On a beach, the Sim may be able to play in the shallow water, but, clicking in the water to make him swim is sutt as effective as clicking with a disconnected mouse.

Pretty much the only things the Sim can actually do is exercise, walk to somewhere or run around.

 

Saving seems to work OK.

Going to and from build mode works as expected.

Going to and from CAS also work normally.

My sim won't pick up infant

★★ Novice

Whenever I try to pick up an infant, with any sim, they just start to dance or just ignore the "pick up" action. The action stays in the log, and the sims do other things. I tried to reset my user files, removed all mods and all, but the problem is always there. Sometimes, the infant just starts to follow the sims in their foot. I have a LE log attached, hope it helps... Thank you in advance!

My Sim won't do any actions. (Please Help)

★★★★★ Newbie

I did a save right before I updated my game for the Infants Update but afterward I noticed that my sim wouldn't move no matter what I did. My sim was basically glued to the wall just admiring her artwork and even after resetting her, she wouldn't do anything. I've tried repairing, updating again, restarting my laptop, using cheat commands to reset, using M to travel somewhere new, deleting my cache file, and uninstalling and reinstalling my game. ALL of it, Nothing.

 

The weirdest part is the few times I have gotten her to do something. She'll do the activity, even when the object is far away. When I make her sleep, it says she's sleeping but she's actually just standing in the living room. When I make her paint, she doesn't stand by the easel. When I have her wash the sink, she'll do the animation but she'll be in an entirely wrong room like she's doing the animation at nothing in the living room. Even when she's off her home lot, I tried to get her to work out and she was somehow building up her fitness skill, without moving at all. I'm also starting to think that the other sims in my world are also being affected by this cause they also don't move. The most I can get her to do is walk from one place to another.

 

The save is a legacy challenge I was doing and I really don't want to restart it cause of this hiccup. Please help.
