Well that was a downer, no October patch.
So, we are not gonna see a patch in October either? I stopped playing the game a couple months ago because of some of these bugs that need to be fixed such as the non-interactive sims bug. It's cool that they are creating new stuff, but did they forget about these bugs that need to be addressed and fixed? I kinda think they should be the priority... I personally don't want any more new content because these critical bugs are ruining the game. I am sorry, but I am just getting the feeling that the devs don't even care and just want to skip the bugs and go on to new content while the game continues to get in worse shape. I don't even know what to think of this anymore. I regret purchasing Seasons and updating to that patch just before Seasons which destroyed the game and turned all of the background Sims into mindless zombies...
Wow! If you are having that kind of issues with your game, try starting a new game, and make sure you save it with a new name. I have a separate save for loading my game with certain custom content mods, and a separate save for playing my game without any custom content or mods, and a separate save for playing only with custom content but without script mods. If you are able to play the new game using no custom content or mods, you know the problem is probably with broken cc or mods. Plus with a new save file you aren't affecting any of the old characters on your old save. If you still cannot play the game without cc or mods using a new save, repair your game, and try again. If that doesn't work, check the specs on your computer to make sure it is capable of running the game with all EPs. And finally, if all that has been tried and nothing helps, it is time to contact EA support or uninstall, reboot, then reinstall your game (backing up everything that was in the Documents folder elsewhere first).
I have tried everything including a fresh reinstall. My computer specs include: i7 6700, GTX 970, 32GB Ram, Windows 10, so I know my computer is well above the recommended settings. This is an acknowledged issue with the game that needs to be fixed (link to the topic is in my signature), and many others are experiencing it. It was introduced in the patch just before Seasons. I sent tech support a ticket shortly after I first encountered the bug.
Here are two videos, before the patch before Seasons (Sims interacting) and then afterwards (Sims no longer interacting). This happens in bars, coffee shops, restaurants, etc.
Before (Sims interacting):

Also, because there is a TV on the lot, Sims will not go for a swim and the TV takes priority. Once I removed the TV, the sims went swimming again.
