    I went all the way, I Uninstalled the game completely including removing the folder in Documents.

    Now it is clearly better, at least in Windenburg.

    Going to start over, but let's hope it doesn't happen again.

Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name.
Fix the game in Origin.
Origin/Library -right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.

If I understood correctly, the game worked correctly until yesterday, and these errors happened unexpectedly. Have you installed any new program at that time?
In addition, check that you have the latest drivers for your graphics card and that you have the latest Windows updates.

Sorry, this did not help I repaired the game and removed everything in the Sims folders with "cache" in the file / folder names.

As you can see on the picture from Shady Sands that does not help.

Edit: Things has gone down hill for awhile. I have had an issue in University where one of the stairs down to the statue on the main field causes a T-pose and reset if the sim walks down it about 50% of the time. That issue has been there a month, real time. It seems logical to me this is the same issue; something is just broken in the game in general. So it has been going on longer than just two days.
