[GTW] Sims stands still at work at the hospital

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.107.151.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Parenthood, Cats and Dogs, My First Pet Stuff, Discover University, Holiday Celebration Pack, High School Years, Get To Work, Dine Out, Blooming Rooms, Backyard Stuff, Vibing Streamer Gear Digital Content, Bonus Content
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Join the sim at work at the hospital
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim suddenly stops moving. The actions don't clear and start piling up, but the game reacts as if the actions are being done even though the sim is just standing still. The work progress bar doesn't progress and the objectives don't clear.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see my sim moving around, doing the actions. I expect the actions to clear from the queue once they're done. I expect objectives to clear and the progress bar to progress when objectives are met.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

I don't know if this is a bug that's been around or if it started after the latest patch, but I couldn't find anything about it and I have never done the medical career before now. I'm not sure how else to explain it except that the sim does things like checking temperature and analyzing samples, but they are just standing in one spot the whole time and the actions get piled up and don't clear even if the actions get done without him moving or if I try to X them out.

  • @Snickitten Did you change anything about the hospital ? It does look like the original but to be sure.

    Could you test this on a new save with a new Sim for testing purposes to see if the same happens.
  • I haven't changed anything about the hospital. I tried playing a new game and played through two days of work and didn't encounter the bug. If I recall correctly, my original sim was promoted a couple of times before the bug started and the bug stopped happening after they got promoted to nurse. I also stopped fast-forwarding at that point because I thought it might be causing the bug.

  • It started at level 3, I think? I believe I had access to the x-ray machines.

    Edit to add: My test sim is now at level 4 and I still haven't been able to replicate the bug.

  • I have the same issue at the high school, my sim and all her peers just stand still rather than doing anything ,they cant move no matter how much i reset them and they wont even go inside the school. any fix?
