mrstaylor121314 If you use any mods or custom content, please try playing without it, as in, move the entire Mods folder to the desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing.
If that doesn't help, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and let me know which problems, if any, are still present.
