Sim w/ Action Standing Still(Not doing anything)

Every time I choose an action for my sim to complete, they stand in front of the object and do absolutely nothing. I try to fast forward and nothing happens. Ever since the update to fix the crashing with the new expansion pack, my sims wont complete the actions. Only after sitting and waiting while paused will they actually do it. I’ve tried EVERYTHING to fix the issue. I’ve deleted cache that was unnecessary, repaired the game, checked for updates, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, updated my computer, and nothing has worked. I’m honestly close to just giving up even though I’ve worked so hard on my family. Please if anyone can help, HELP

  • @sikknatt You can try to pause your game when this happens instead of fast forwarding. The time may be off and you need to pause to let everything "catch up." You may see thought bubbles changing behind the sims. Once that happens you can un-pause and see if it helps with the interaction.
  • I have this issue too.. I even installed the latest Simulation Lag Fix mod by SrslySims who took over the mod.. doesn't seem to work apparently. Going to manage worlds and back to the household seem to occasionally fix the bug but it isn't a foolproof solution.

    OP already said that pausing and waiting is the only way it works. I have the same issue, I have to pause, but this isn't a solution because I have to pause on everything my sim needs to do, some days it's unplayable
