[FIXED] Sims are not moving/Freezing/Animation problems

Here's the current list for broken mods/cc: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1007107/broken-updated-mods-cc-march-2023-infants-patch/

EDIT: I'm unsure if this thread currently contains multiple issues or not. Maxis is looking into it so please provide the info. Please let me know if you feel your issue is completely different.

Since installing the new infant update the autonomy in my game has gone rogue and even when I turned it off they still don't listen and the mother sim won't sleep for more than a second (which is doing nothing to her needs bar) anyone know how I get her to sleep? She's drinking back to back potions from the rewards store currently.

Sim starts playing game on computer, sims plays while standing with no physical action or movement anywhere on the lot. Doesn't go to the desk, doesn't sit in front of the screen. From there no other actions can be done until reset. Even with a reset the sims stay stagnant.

Conversations first occur but are stagnant afterwards with no physical conversation occurring only smiling and stillness. Most actions do not play. Can't even get sims to find a job.

HI @AlejaU1 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by clicking on the dots in EA app.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

• Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
• Tray Folder
• Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
• Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
• Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Thank you for your reply but no I took out all mods, cc and cleared my cache before the update.

It was a brand new save that I created to try out infants but I'll make another one now and try it again. Thank you 🙂

I just tested it in a new save and it's still playing up in that one too.

I have the same issue. I've removed my mods, disabled mods and cc, repaired my game and even reinstalled it but still cant get them to do anything
