  • Are you using a laptop or a dekstop computer ? Desktop
  • What are your basic specs (Processor, Graphics Card, RAM, Operating System, Free disc space) ?
    • Intel i7-3930k CPU@ 3.2 GHz
    • OS Win 8.1 Pro
    • RAM 16 GB DDR3/1866 MHz
    • Dual nVidia GeForce GTX 680 2GB
    • Gigabyte x79 Motherboard w/ onboard Dolby 7.1 audio
    • 1TB SATA III HDD w/ 705 GB free
  • Do you have any files called lastexception.txt (in the folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\) with a date that close to the first occurrence of the bug ? (if so, please upload the file to some file sharing site and include the link in your post). http://pastebin.com/RDFdYxty  I'm no expert but it looks like it hinges on the family relationship somewhere.  It is freaking out over the incest test? Probably why I don't have a problem now that I killed the sister.
  • Do any of the above workaround work for you and if so, which one ? Repairing the game actually caused the problem for me – I was trying to fix the resetting sims issue.       Deleting the cache fixed it for a short while.
  • Does the issue reoccur after a while ? Yes
  • Are you using custom content or mods in your game ? No
  • At what point did you give the command when you first encountered the issue (ex.: Sims was sleeping and cooking was queued, Sim was doing nothing and just sent to cook) ? Sim came home from work and I told her to cook.
  • Are all the Sims in your household affected or only certain ones ? At the time I had one adult and one child, so just the adult was affected.
  • What happen if you switch active households ? Do they have the bug as well ? I don’t play rotationally
  • If you then switch back, do the existing Sims still have the issue ? N/A
  • What career does the Sim have that first made the bug occur ? She was a painter
  • Anything else you think important ? It only happens when there are two or more sims in the household. I have never had the issue with a solo sim.       In this household, I aged the child to a teen and her big sis died. She has not had a single hiccup with any of her actions now.
