    Hi @geowigs

    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.

    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)
    • 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.

    Hello, I have been having a similar problem. When ever I try to do a romantic interaction the sim looks like it resets. It's not to do with their relationship because they are a married couple. I made another game to test if it worked for them but it did the same thing. Then the flirting action started to glitch. They would flirt but the hearts would keep appearing and their romantic relationship wouldnt get any better. I tried to repair the game on origin and it broke it more. It wouldnt let sims even go into the options menu with other sims, only themselves. Sims can kiss on their own, but I have a couple that I cant even get to propose. I did what you said, I reset the factory settings. That didnt work so I uninstalled and reinstalled the game completely. I used to have the ww mod but that was on a whole different account entirely. I have some custom content on my glitching game but I dont think I have any mods. This glitch has been going on for so long and I just wanna play the game. Does anyone have any advice/help?

      @iiSnowyKat58 After doing a factory reset, did you test on a new save without putting anything back and still had the same issue ?

        After I did the factory reset, my game worked fine. But then when I added my CC back, the glitch happened again. I have a lot of CC, If something. Is causing the glitch, how will I know what it is?
