Sims Won't Take Care of Themselves

My Sims refuse to go to the toilet, use the bath/shower, go to bed, clean up after themselves, or eat. I can command them to do everything else, and to walk anywhere. There is nothing around the items they need to use, and it is affecting all of my save files. My only mods are for custom clothes, hair, and furniture. I cannot play the game like this, its miserable!

  • @emjo1 Have you tested without any cc at all ? These can sometimes also cause issues.

    Also have you tested multiple families/saves to see if it's a global issue or restricted to the family.

    It seems to be happening to all my old saves, but when I made a brand new save file, it was fine. Its anything I started prior to the late February update.

    Hi  @emjo1 

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Repair the game
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
