My Sims 3 has had some glitches,
1. Sims cant use their bed, seems odd to me, but if you sell and buy a new one all good again.
2. Sims disappearing. Seriously they are invisible. I can tell them to do things, but they dont move.
3. Sims are having issues completing objectives. Sim A goes to Sim B to chat, and gets stuck there. I have use resetsim command but I have to use it over and over again to get them to do anything. Such as go to bed, read, work out, anything that takes time. I have been able to get them to go eat.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Alright a complete wipe of all Sims 3 files and complete new reinstall has fixed the issue. Thank you for trying to help me with this issue.

I do not reset them when they are asleep, as they dont need it. only when they are awake and stuck.
I do have some store bought content, a few outfits, and 2 plants, Several of the 1 plant (potted cherry tree( are in my house.
I installed the error catcher? I saw it listed on another post. I followed the directions, making a Mods folder, then the 2 sub folders. It finds 1 error at load in, but the game is unplayable to let it just run for hours to see if it finds anymore issues. The "husband" has a job and refuses to leave the bedroom...all kidding aside, he just stands there in the room now.

I have now installed overwatch and errortrap. It has found 234 issues,

Problem is happening on several saved Sim's of mine. I have removed all installed content, I have the 2 mods running and they continue to find errors. Is it easier to just reinstall the game?

This is getting very frustrating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled The Sims 3, I removed all content that didnt come with my expansions. I tried to create a new sim, and about 75% of the way thru (while setting up her clothing) she turned plaid. I tried to get a screen shot of it to post but when i tried to do it it freaked out my computer. Flashing black screen. Luckily i was able to just log of my windows then log back in after it was force closed. Windows did an update a few days ago. Did they do something?????

After checking a few more threads I see I am not providing you with enough info about my EP's, and whatnot. So here it goes...Sims 3 Late Night,Pets,and High end loft stuff. All was fine with my game until a few days ago. I have been playing Sims for over 450 hrs, with little to no issues. I have no CC's but I do have some IC from the Sims Store.
I am running Errortrap and overwatch Mods since the issues have been happening. DIdnt have them before yesterday. My Windows 10 just did an update on the 13th, 2 of them are for Virtual C++. 1 is for Adobe acrobat reader, and the last is for Microsoft Silverlight..
Now on to the issues, I listed several already but I will go over them again.
1. Beds become unusable, have to be sold then buy new one. No I do not reset sim while they are sleeping.
2. Sims become invisible, No reason that I can find. They are wearing the same clothes they have been wearing. NO CC
3. Sims will just stop doing things. Seems to be prevalent when they chose to do something (swim, interact with another sim, interact with a pet...ect) and this gets interupted. The stopped activity remains on screen and whatever they are supposed to do next is just frozen in time. I have let them just there and hope they will figure it out, but they dont.
4. When trying to get a screen shot to post here the game caused windows to become unstable. Could not even get to task manager to attempt to close Sims. It was a flashing black screen.
5. Creating a new sim and setting up clothing options (again no extra downloaded stuff) the sim became plaid. and thus the issue of #4.
6. The mods Errortrap and Overwatch are currently in the Mods folder, but were not there previous to when these issues started.
If there is any other information you need please let me know. I am using the Origin launcher, have also tried straight from desktop.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After doing so, do not put anything back (not even the mods) for now but start a new game to see if the same thing happens. If you're in the clear, just add the save back and check that.
Good Luck

I have done as asked. I now am getting the game crashing after 2 minutes. Longest time I have had was 3 mins. IDk what the heck happened!!!
I checked my Windows 10 for any bad files, it found some, IDK how many. It said all repaired and would be applied at reboot so I rebooted.
I have tried everything I can find on this. I am about to pull my hair out.
I am attaching my Dxdiag since I have seen it asked for on several threads

Your specs should be fine for Sims 3. The card is old but it was a good card.
Do you have any critical events: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/critical-events/ ?
