[MOD RELATED] Sims can't watch TV

Everytime they try or i try to make them watch tv the action cancels out as soon as they sit down. (they also clip back up and stand behind the chair)

If i remove the chair the action is just cancelled.

    I had this problem as well. I went through all of my mods and found that deleting the "Emotional Overcharge (Social Interaction Tuning)" mod by FlorianPTME sorted it out. I hope this helps you, I was getting very frustrated! 😕mileyhappy:

  • For me it was these two mods:

    - Cinema 1.4 (Reduced Sims)

    - Cinema 1.2

  • I had the same problem, and I found that taking out the Cinema mod removed this problem.

  • I've tried removing my mods folder and restarting my game but my sims still can't watch tv and it has nothing to do with my mods.. help

    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 ....
    • 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.

  • I had the exact same issue, I had to section all of my custom content into four major groups. Whenever I put a certain group in (one by one) and whenever the bug came back, I knew it was custom content within that folder corrupting my game. 

  • @Shiroderp I have the Same issue when they sit they action cancels but when the sim does to tv its self it goes through fine (I dont have mods and i have this issue)

    Hey this thread is downright ancient at this stage and worth a lock, it's also specifically for mod-related issues. 

    @Qariion You may want to create or look for another thread for the same/similar issues when no mods/CC are used.
