I’m having this same problem. I purchased and downloaded city living, kids room, and dream home decoration, as well as updating my game. Now none of the sims in my game can use a shower/tub or preform the “sleep” action no matter where I try. Naps in the beds work but that’s it. I’ve looked everywhere with no answers to this issue (I’ve tried everything I’ve found.)

@RichterBelmont10XML Injector alone can't cause issues if you're using the most current version, and if you aren't, it just makes the mods that use it not work. Make sure you're getting it from Curseforge or the modder's site. There are older versions elsewhere on the internet. Also, BE reports aren't gospel! It's a human-built tool. Odds are that a mod that's *using* XML Injector is making it seem to BE that XML Injector is the problem.In general, this issue ends up turning out to be a mod relating to changing outfits or which outfit a Sims should be wearing. Some of those have been updated and current versions shouldn't cause this issue.

Hey, I tried doing this because I have the same issue and have done since the patch update. It didn't happen before the patch update.It works fine with no mods and CC, but as soon as I added my Mods folder back to the new Sims 4 folder, I get this message from BetterExceptions:Possible Cause(Confidence 10%) outfit_trackerReason: Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'Species' object has no attribute 'asm_key')I don't have a ton of mods (only the basics like WW, MCCC, BetterExceptions, UI Extension and Basemental) with some small tweaks from Zero too. I do have CC, but also not an OTT amount.Any idea what mod could be causing this?TIA!

@emmakw4 in my case that was an outfit changing autonomy mod (don't remember which one), sims were not able even to go to work because of resetting instead.

Try the following Close the game Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry Start a new save game Check if you still have the error Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

@LizG3392 I'm getting the same error from BetterExceptions. I haven't figured out what mod is causing it yet, either.

Try the following

Close the game

Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old

Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry

Start a new save game

Check if you still have the error

Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

@lgillott Your saves are in the folder you moved, still intact. The point is to test in a clean user folder, then move your saves back and test them too, still without mods or custom content.
