My sims won't move or do anything

[jody89]

My sims seem to be stuck, the whole family! i have tried resetsim on all of them. I can still click on them and tell them they need to go to toilet and sleep, and sometimes it goes into their action box, but still nothing and its really frustrating. They are all complaining still and getting uncomfrotable. I have exited the game and restarted the pc but still im in exactly the same situation!

My problem is very similar in that my sims wont move on command. If i tell them to go here, they will go here. but if i tell them, say to cook, they wont go cook. they wont talk to anyone, they wont do any command other than comands that involve themselves or going somewhere. They will stand idle. resetting the game or the sims wont fix it. neither will logging out and back into my windows account.

Are you using mods in your game ?  If so, please remove them

Have you tried the suggestions in this thread ? Are you using mods ?

I'm having a very similar problem to what was mentioned in this thread, only since I installed the latest game pack (Parenthood).  My sims will freeze and just sit or stand there not doing anything, if I pause they may come "unstuck," but that doesn't always work, I may have to pause and un-pause several times to get them moving again (and once it didn't work at all and the whole game ended up freezing).  It usually happens to two or more of them at a time, particularly if one gets "stuck" while interacting with another, it will affect them both.

I don't have any mods or any custom content in my game, the problem seems to be specifically with either the Parenthood pack or with a recent patch, because it's only started happening within the past few days.

Hi @Anita_Montresor

there's two known interaction that can freeze the game (bug)

• Kids/teens going to school
• Teens doing homework autonomously.

Was either of these happening ?
