Sims 4 cant go to work or school

★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
I want to talk about something you don't mention above:
How accessible is the current experience? I can use parts of it
Summarize what in the product is difficult to use. When it is time for my sims to go to work or school, they dont go. When I click on them, they dont have the option and when I go to their career/school screen, it just restarts the countdown to the next day. Then it happens all over again. I have tried moving lots and that does not work. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game!
How is this making it more difficult? The sims dont make money so I cant progress in the game!
How can we reproduce this experience? ?

I would like my sims to go to school or work automatically like they used to.

★★★ Guide

Make sure in your game options that your Autonomy is set to full, and you do not have disable autonomy for selected sims on.

If this does not help.  Are you using any mods?

If playing with mods and custom content, move your mods folder to the desktop, clear your game cache and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help with troubleshooting.

 

Try playing the game again to test without the mods folder. If it loads okay, it may be that some of the mods/cc have become outdated.

Custom content can become outdated with most new game patches. If the game works when the Mods folder is removed, then one or more of the mods and/or custom content has become outdated and will need to be removed or replaced. EA/Maxis aren't responsible for broken mods/cc. It's up to the creators to fix.

 

Disabling or turning off both mod/cc options isn't enough of a test.

 

Try the 50/50 method:

1. Move all the mods and cc out into a temporary folder on the desktop.
2. Move a few files back at a time. Load the game to make sure it loads and everything is good.
3. Delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is no more files to check.

 

** While your testing, don't save the game. If you find any problems, delete the mod or custom content file.
