Horse glitch

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.100.144.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion packs, most game packs, many stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Own a horse/foal
What happens when the bug occurs? The horse of any age, whether rescued, purchased, or created in CAS walks backwards on its back legs, can do the stairs, walks on back legs even with rider on, and has human sim options.
What do you expect to see? A normal walking horse with options for horses, training, etc.
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. This was present as soon as the Horse Ranch expansion was installed.

I have tried everything (following instructions from others who have had the same/similar issues, rescuing, purchasing, and creating a horse and foal in CAS, debugging the horse, repairing the game, etc) aside from completely uninstalling and installing the entire game.
It has been like this since Horse Ranch was released. I had started the game after the Horse Ranch update clean with no mods or CC whatsoever. It has not worked without or with mods/CC.
I'd really prefer to not have to uninstall and install Sims 4 as I have purchased many, many expansions and packs, but of course will do so if it's my only option.

Thank you for your time!

  • @CatoriOnawa By clean you mean you created a new user folder ? Is it happening with every horse or only specific ones ?

    Have you done a game repair ?

    I have tried both my saved games and creating a new one with no luck.
    It's all horses, nothing specific.
    Yes, I have done a repair, also with no luck.
    I thought one of these patches might be the fix for mine, but nothing yet, unfortunately!

    @CatoriOnawa To be sure, you renamed your user folder and let the game create a new one or just tried a new save ?
