    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    @kaiyabosworth_10 Please test this without mods. If it's all Sims it's usually a mod issue.

    I think currently SoL can cause this issue if you're using that.

    i have removed all my mods. One of my sims still say they are at work whilst the other has every single day off. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game and now going into cas does not fix it

    You are actually a lifesaver thank you so much, it was a corrupted save and a mod called meaningful stories. Thank you so much!!
