Sims game not working after update
Hey everyone, I’m really stressed and hoping someone can help me out. My game has been completely unplayable since the most recent Sims 4 update, and I’ve done just about everything I can think of to fix it.
💥 The Problem:
- When I assign my Sims to do something (like sleep or eat), they do the interaction while standing still.
- For example, I’ll tell a Sim to go to bed, and they’ll “sleep” standing up — not in the bed, just frozen in place doing the action.
- They also randomly start dancing, even when there’s no music or stereo.
- It’s not a mod issue — I completely emptied my Mods folder, including CC, scripts, furniture, and clothes.
- I even tested on a brand new save file with a brand new household. Still broken.
🧪 What I’ve Tried:
- Deleted localthumbcache.package
- Removed all mods and CC (folder is literally empty)
- Repaired the game through the EA App
- Cleared cache folders
- Removed custom lots, Sims, and old saves
- Tested in base game only — same problem
🧩 Additional Context:
- This started happening after the most recent Sims 4 update.
- Even with no mods or CC, my Sims still don’t move to perform interactions — they just do them in place like they’re broken.
🆘 Is This Happening to Anyone Else?
I’m trying to work on a story save, but it’s become impossible to play. I’m worried my entire game is corrupted beyond repair. At this point, I’m wondering:
- Is this a known bug from the recent update?
- Is this a problem with the EA App or manual installs?
- Do I need to fully uninstall the game and reinstall it clean?
- Any fixes that actually worked for anyone else?
I’d appreciate any advice. This is making me not even want to open the game anymore 😩
Thanks in advance
