Sims 3 is not working correctly
Up until a week ago my game was running fine. Now the problem is when I want a SIM to take a shower, when I click on the shower it says "fish or swim", or no interaction available. I can have them tr...

@indycutie Please test a new save, for comparison's sake, and let me know whether it's also affected.
Please also let me know whether, in your current save, the options on a given object change if you change the camera angle. Rotate 90 or 180 degrees and click the same object, then repeat for a couple more objects.
@puzzlezaddict Okay so my current saved game from today won't load, giving me the "an error has occurred while trying to load...., please try to load again. I tried 2 times. A previous saved game loaded, but I noticed when I go to map view to send them somewhere, or even to the park, it starts acting up after that or even in Edit Town mode. It'll play for a little while, then my Sims cannot do things like showers or whatever whatever when they get home, or go back out.I have one that is a painter and she can't interact with the easel.
@indycutie Are you currently using mods? I don't remember whether you were when you last posted. If you are, please let me know which ones. If not, let me know whether you're willing to add a few.
If you don't want to use mods, there's only one good way to reset things short of transferring your sims to a new save. Go to Edit Town, evict your sims, save their house, bulldoze the lot, place the saved copy of their house, and move the sims back in. If you do all this in one Edit Town session, without also saving the sims to the bin and placing their bin copy, your sims will keep their jobs and relationships, although they'll lose their promised wishes and opportunities.
I'm not sure this will fix the issues with the save though. If it doesn't, adding mods or starting a new save are your only options.
- @puzzlezaddict No I don't use any Mod's, saw people posting about them, but I know nothing about them. I'll try your other way of moving them out and back in. If that doesn't work, I'll let you know and then talk about what Mod's to use. I also downloaded a few things from the exchange. Maybe got some "bad" CC from that. I will keep you posted.
- @puzzlezaddict I also noticed today, when the EA app opened it says repair complete, and also only showing 531 hrs played. I had almost 9,000 hrs since I've been playing the Sims3, and I did a repair over 4 days ago🤔
