Sims won't do what they are told

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Suomi
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.107.151.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expension pack. Every game pack except: Dine out, My wedding stories, Journy to Batuu. Every stuffpack except: Cool kitchen stuff, Spooky stuff, Fitness stuff and Bowling night stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I came across the bug 3 days ago after playing as a landlord for 2 hours. I have tried to play with it everyday since then.This is the only household that I use the For Rent gameplay (Only sims I play as landlord, I never play as tenant). This household has only 2 sims plus there are 5 small, one bed cottages on the property. So overall there are 7 people on the rental property plot type. Before 3 days ago it had been a long time that I used the family (3 months) and this is a new problem. I have taken out all the cc and mods of the game, but it didn't change anything. I also tried the freeze cheat codes ( resetSim Firstname Lastname and Reset Object (Debug)) but they don't help at all. The sims won't simply do anything they are told, and this is a problem only for rental plot types. I have shut down the game at least 4 times just of today but it always happens. I have also play tested other households that own their own home and noticed that they work perfectly fine. So this property is the only problem. The only way the EA testers could do this is to make just as big rental property and simply try doing anything with the sims.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I load into the household they are in a middle of doing something, for example showering, cooking etc. They do the chore they are in the middle of, but won't do the next things. For example, I listed on the bottom left corner 1st pee, 2nd clean the toilet, 3rd brush teeth. The sim does pee when I load in the household, then walks to wash hands, but when she's supposed to go wash the toilet she walks up to it but does nothing. No needs go up and she just stands there. Then I go remove the task and next is brushing teeth (removing the item works sometimes). Then she again walks up to the sink but does nothing. At this point I start to notice that the tenants or nobody does nothing either, every single sim on the lot is stuck. They simply nod their heads. The cheats I tried basically start this cycle all overagain, but they get stuck already to the first task. I can do only one task at a time everytime I load into the household. Also the "task bubbles" on the bottom left corner won't show how long the task takes most of the time. The bug has slowly gotten worse while I have been testing it. At first the task could still be removed easily but not anymore, and first the sims could still walk between the tasks (without doing them) but now they basically get stuck immediately.
What do you expect to see? As of right now the whole For Rent gameplay is unplayable for me, so I hope the sims would do what they are supposed to so they wouldn't die.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

These videos are taken after I had removed all the cc and mods (that's why they are naked) but at this point I had also but them back on, because they didn't have anything to do with the bug. https://1drv.ms/v/c/d451106781e4d4ee/ETB5BkJ5oxtEktghZLsNpGwBlXhnvVobPp1J6-fFZGn6mQ?e=LeDjh0

  • I only now just found out that a building downloaded from gallery can be corrupted! I did A LOT of building around 4 weeks ago. Basically built every cafe, beach, bar etc. to every world. I also did one building the same day I play with the landlord couple. Does anyone know how fast you notice a corrupted building?? Could it be the same day? What can I do? I don't want to lose 6 years of sims worlds renovations! it's finally ready. I have downloaded every building that I have renovated to my personal callery. Does that have something to do with it? Somebody also said that the corruption spreads between the worlds. So does that mean that I should play in every world, see which are corrupted and remove all the buildings in them? Can I stop this at all!? PLEASE HELP
