Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Select a sim and have them go to do a task upstairs or downstairs without following them. The sim will get stuck at the base of the stairs and not carry out the task unless you go to where the sim is (up or downstairs). If you have a task for your sim to do and it's on a different floor, they will go to the floor and not carry it out until you go where they are.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim will not carry out a task upstairs or downstairs unless you go to where they are. They will miss school, work, etc. if they get stuck. When you wait enough time and then go to where the sim is, the sim will be at the base of the stairs ready to walk down or up and will then carry out the task. Sometimes, the sim will make it down or upstairs without having to do anything but then they are buggy. Like they teleport to where they are supposed to be and are missing the bottom of their legs for a few seconds.
What do you expect to see? I expect my sim to carry out a task after going up or down the stairs without me having to make sure I go to the floor they have moved to.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest patch. I believe it was right after or before cottage living came out. It was not present before I got cottage living.

‌

An example: My sim is upstairs in his/her bedroom. I go downstairs and task him/her with making breakfast and then I don't go upstairs. I wait enough time so that my sim should be downstairs cooking. I go upstairs and magically, he/she is at the threshold of the stairs ready to walk down. They now carry out the task with no issues.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them except: "The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu".
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get multiple sims in a house with 2 or 3 levels. Go upstairs with a sim with your camera fixed/following them, then tell that sim to go back downstairs to do something, but remove your camera from them and focuss downstairs. Make sure the sim is not anywhere within your camera or field of vision, so you can't see them at all. Then wait. The sim will never decend down the stairs. Time will pass and they won't come down and the longer it takes, they eventually resort to just teleporting directly downstairs because you were unable to observe them go down the stairs. And when they teleport down they have a dark shadow cast over them from the previous room. Then when they start walking around they light up again. Or their feet get stuck inside the ground, like they've sunken a few inches into the floor before they start walking again. If you were looking at them the whole time however, they will walk down the stairs normally.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims never descend down the stairs, and will eventually just teleport down to the level you want them at after several sim hours/real life minutes have passed.
What do you expect to see? I expect sims to actually be able to walk down the stairs normally by themselves, without me having to constantly have my camera focused on every sim when playing in a house with stairs, in order to avoid random teleportations across my screen.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After the Cottage Living Patch. 1.77+
