[OPEN] [GF] Celebrities Revert To Celebrity Walkstyle For Rotational Play

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? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? CL, CD, S, GF, IL, OR, SD, DO, V, PH, JA, SV, PPSP, SSP, CKSP, MHSP, RGSP, KSPS, BYSP, BNSP, FSP, MFPSP, MSP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set the celebrity walkstyle to "normal" than switch to another household. Observe the Celebrity Sim - they have gone back to the celebrity walkstyle.
What happens when the bug occurs? The "use normal walkstyle" option does not persist when you switch play to a different household. Unlike the "fame shine" there is no option to turn it off unless you are actively playing that Sim.
What do you expect to see? I expect my chosen walkstyle to persist whether I am playing that Sim or not. If that cannot be done, then an option to change it on any celebrity Sim would be okay.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

The celebrity walkstyle is amusing - but only on SIms that I am not trying to interact with. The celebrity walkstyle is so SLOW that interactions frequently cancel while waiting for the Sim to get there. Since a lot of my SIms have become celebrities, this means that interactions between families that I play has become difficult at best. I am very careful to make sure that the walkstyle is "normal" before I switch households - but as soon as I make the switch, the walkstyle reverts to the celebrity style.

    @JasonVega2 I'm unable to replicate the issue.

    Do the go back to not having the walkstyle when you switch back ? For me my celebrity family walks normal when I don't play them.

    No, I have to reset the walkstyle to "normal" when I switch back.

    It persists while I am playing the family, but not once I switch to another household.

    @JasonVega2 I switch to another family in my game and the setting persisted for me.

    Could you try a new save that never saw any mods for testing and check if the same happens ?

    You're quite right @crinrict  A new game that never had mods works as expected. My original game is ruined.

    HI @JasonVega2 

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    @crinrict Yes, of course. Give me a day or so, though. I've got nearly 400 save points in that one file, and I'll have to cut that down to the most recent one or two. All of them together is *massive*!

    @JasonVega2 I'm moving this to tech for now.

    We'll continue with the troubleshooting when you have time to send me the save.

    @SqueamishNerd I merged your post with an existing thread on this.

    I did some troubleshooting back when it was first reported and it seems pretty random.

    Does it happen for all Sims for you or also just one specific one ?

    @crinrict I think it has happened to several sims, but I have so many sims that I’m not sure if I remember correctly which sims I have turned off the celebrity walk for. But at least I know one specific sim with the problem.
