All of my sims will not go to school or work automatically

In every household i have created, none of the sims will go to school or work automatically. 

i have my settings on Full Autonomy Except Selected Sim, but the problem even happens with sims from other households that i am not currently playing. But they will go to work or school if I manually send them and they will automatically go to other places, like the neighbors or part of town. 

there has even been an occasion when it was a school day and i sent all my sims siblings to school manually, but for the selected sim it says school was not for 16hrs. 
another time it was a school day but it was 6pm and it gave me an option to send my teenager to school, so i did and he attended school at 6pm and came back home in the middle of the night. 

because of this my sims are failing and getting bad performances. 

They do not have any obstacles blocking them from leaving the house. 

i have tried changing my setting to Full Autonomy for all sims, but it did not help the problem. 
i have cleared the cache, i have repaired the game several times, i have uninstalled and reinstalled Origin, i have tried creating new households and even new games but the problem occurs with EVERY household i make. 

I do play with some mods, but everything is updated and i even removed the mods all together but the problem still occurs so it is not mod related. 

i can not figure out how to fix my game and it’s seriously impairing my gameplay. I haven’t been able to play in days! I keep checking back though to see if somehow it will be better but it isn’t. Please help!!
