@JnhoKaddia Hello! That sounds really strange. Are you on PC or Mac and using mods? If so, try moving your mods folder to the desktop and delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game for testing. If you're still having the problem, then you know for sure it's a mod issue. You can then start adding your mods back to the game a little at a time (also deleting that cache file) to see which one is causing the issue.
@JonaO703 I'm on pc. I don't use mods.
@JnhoKaddia Okay. Thanks for that information. I do see some older reports of issues with the Welcome Wagon event. However, it doesn't appear to be consistent and I don't see any "fixes". Just to clarify, when you are clicking on the sims to "invite in", the event has begun and the Welcome Wagon timer is displayed in the upper left corner. Is that correct? If so, perhaps you could try a game repair through Origin or the EA app? Make sure you exit the game. If you're using Origin, go to the game library, right click on the game and choose repair. If you're using the EA app, click on your game, click the Manage button and choose repair. Allow the repair to run for all packs and kits. Let us know if that helps or not.
Sorry for late reply. The timer doesnt start because clicking on invite in doesn't do anything then after that they get negative friendship and leave. This happens rarely.
And also the other thing with the fast head and body movement I think it may have something to do with owning a faster PC because it never used to happen on my older slower one, though thats just a guess. I have my fps set to 60 anyway. I haven't tried repair yet. I might do that.
@JnhoKaddia I just started a new game and the neighbors have descended on my sims' home. I only had options to introduce my sims before the event started and the timer appeared. This was after one of the neighbors knocked on the door.
I clicked on the "Invite Neighbor(s) In" option. My sim went out to Grace, who was the one who knocked, and welcomed the wagon, so to speak. After that, all the neighbors came into the house. Grace immediately headed for the computer. lol At any rate, I'm stumped as to why it's not working for you but hopefully a repair will help.
As for the glitchy animations, perhaps you could play around with the graphics settings both in your computer settings and the Game Options. I'm no expert when it comes to those settings but I'll ask around to see if anyone has ideas about that.
Edit: I have one computer guru friend who said, the graphics settings should not be causing glitchy animations. They suggested testing a different lot. Have you experienced this on other lots? Perhaps try a premade Maxis lot. Does your current lot have any platforms? Maybe test this on a lot that is at ground level, no foundation and no platforms, just to see if there's a difference?
