Re: Sims 4 path issues

It happens regardless of whether I have mods installed or not. And it happens regardless of of I'm playing on a new save or with an older one.

@GreaseBones96  For the sims teleporting or otherwise not walking normally, please use whichever bug report you think is appropriate.

For the dropped actions, please test in a clean user folder.  Move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see how the sims behave.  Please test with sims standing right next to the items (or other sims) you want them to interact with, just to keep the routing/teleporting issue separate.

If your sims still drop their actions, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

This is still happening 100% of the time with a new, completely-untouched user folder, unfortunately. The household I played with would still take unusually long to climb stairs, then they would only just begin to ascend as soon as the camera focused on them. They also seem to teleport to different floors while the camera is focused on them. As for dropped interactions, these happen whether the camera is focused on the Sim or if it is elsewhere.

There should be a .txt with my DxDiag info attached to this post.

@GreaseBones96  Your dxdiag lists a number of Origin errors.  While those errors shouldn't directly interfere with Sims 4, if Origin is using too much of your system resources, it could definitely affect in-game performance.  So please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Origin:

• Quit Origin, then right-click on the Task Bar and open the Task Manager.  Scroll through looking for Origin entries.  If you find any, click on them and End Task.
• Clear Origin's cache.
• Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
• Launch Revo, select Origin from the list, and click Uninstall.
• When it finishes uninstalling, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
• If Revo finds any remaining registry entries, select all, delete, and click Next.
• Revo will display "Remaining Data and Folders."  Select all of them except for the "Origin Games" folder, if it appears.  (This is where Sims 4 and other Origin games are installed by default.)  Delete the rest.
• Close Revo, and restart your computer.

Next, download the full Origin installer and run it.  Here's the direct download link:

http://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe

Be sure to run both the installer and Origin itself as an admin: right-click on each and select "Run as Administrator."

If you see the same dropped actions even when there are no stairs involved in the sim's routing, please restart your computer and try again, this time putting Origin in offline mode before opening the game.  And again, the stairs issue is a known bug; there isn't really anything you can do about it.

By the way, you'll get better performance overall if you plug your monitor directly into the graphics card rather than into the motherboard.
