Should I reinstall my game and expansions, here is the issues I'm facing.

Hello, I've made a lot of posts recently but it's mainly because I'm new to the sims, well I played on the original Xbox but that was 19 years ago pretty much. I'm new to the sims 4.

I got some issues and I wonder If I should reinstall my game and all the expansions and packs.
heres my issues:
Sims are not affected by weather, no moodlet under there photo at bottom left, except on rare occasions.
Hamster/Rodent never needs food, is never hungry, I've placed and deleted multiple enclosures, without bb.moveobjects it still persists
There are about 5 or 6 other issues going on, but I don't think there worth mentioning like for example when you give a command to a sim and they take 20 seconds to start doing it, that's been around forever, I think.
I've tried power cycling my Xbox, resetting the cache, resetting my console to factory condition except keeping my profile and saved data, and 1 or two more.... Is anyone else experiencing these issues and found a fix?

See my fear is that if I reinstall game and all content that something will go wrong and I will not be able to reinstall the expansions and stuff I bought and I will lose them permanently, if this were to happen, I will probably stop playing the sims altogether.

  • Not sure about the rodent issue as I don't have that pack, and sims taking forever to do a task is unfortunately a sims thing we pretty much have to live with on all versions (sometimes resetting them helps).

    For seasons I'd suggest checking your game settings under weather and make sure weather effects are turned on (though I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be on by default).
  • @animevamp, I had already checked that but thanks anyway, I rechecked it just now and Enable temperature effects on sims is checked and green. So, it is on. And As I have continued to play the weather effects are not occurring to my sims, except very, very rarely.
  • @JustinB113 I've seen the mood let that is not burning/freezing to death, I know what you're talking about, I've seen it before when one of my kids was outside and they turned almost into a ghost looking person, this got my attention big time I checked on the sim and basically, I got the point that they were in danger because of the weather. But I have seen mood lets that don't go that far, there more like saying sim is improperly clothed, they are hot or cold, but not in any danger at the moment. I don't know the exact terminology of the mood let, I just don't remember; but I remember seeing them on several occasions then for some reason or another they stopped except for a very rare occasion I will see a mood let brown or red in color and look at it and it will notify me of a clothing/weather situation. I wished I could describe it better. If I knew how to search the web for a picture of the mood let and then post it in this comment, I would do that, but I'm a bit computer illiterate and don'ts know how.
  • @JustinB113 The Hamster/Rat/Hybrid rodent pets came with the pet clothing pack, if I'm not mistaken. When I first used them, everything worked fine, then over time the hunger part stopped working all together. It's been that way with several different things. They work pretty well to begin with then for some reason a flaw in mechanic occurs and something goes wrong or stops working. Thanks for your input.
