for rent sims won't do tasks

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Newest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? many, including for rent.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? create an apartment building with 4 different families in different apartments. Try to perform ANY task, sims won't move or complete any tasks.
What happens when the bug occurs? the sims stand stilled don't perform tasks.
What do you expect to see? sims doing tasks. I paid full price for an expansion pack that does not work and shouldn't have passed testing. people that have purchased for rent at full price deserve a refund.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. tried without customs content, still an issue.

  • @LolimlosttSadly it's an ongoing issue. It's also been referenced under lag.
    For me the only thing that works is to click on a move spot away from where they not responding at but not far.. and then when they start moving to spot you can click. but about 60 - 70% of time it's like they still stand there and think about it first :-/
    ALSO it seems at times the very bottom of task list, where the sitting etc icon is, has a hidden action??? like it shows empty but click on it like your clearing it and then they respond ( sometimes, but you cannot see if there is an icon or not when it is.. so you have to try it to see if it helps <facepalm> )

    I am on PC vs Mac, but seems the problems and most fixes are being shared cross platform :P

  • @Lolimlostt One recent lag cause is the game generating dozens and dozens of new townie households. Check Manage Households and delete those if that's happened. From reports I've seen, it seems to happen most when playing RR lots in Tomarang.

  • I'm having this issue now and it has made the game unplayable.

    I have tried everything from resetting my sim, creating a new save, creating a completely new game, resetting objects, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, flushing the DNS, defragging and cleaning my disk space, EVERYTHING!!! And of course all in between I was restarting my PC over and over.

    I contacted support and they said they'll "fix it on the back end".... what does that even mean this has been an ongoing issue that hasn't been fixed and has broken my game!! Paying hundreds of dollars on this game over the years with expansions and packs and such just for this bs to happen is ridiculous. And I just learned that it is 100% with the For Rent expansion because when I move my sim to a single lot, they act just fine. It's only when I try to do anything with a "Residental Rental" lot.

    I really hope they fix this ASAP because we deserve what we paid for.

    @daq25c9cq33w To confirm, because this is the Mod/CC Issues forum, this is happening for you with an empty Mods folder and in a fresh gameplay folder (dragging The Sims 4 out of Electronic Arts to the desktop)?
