Sims 4 Flapping T-Pose Eternal Simulation Issue/Lovestruck Base Patch

Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 11083291020DX9What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? A lot that I cannot type in right now. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The bug happens randomly. Play a household, wait for your sim to enter simulation lag. Then look around for NPC sims and see the issue.What happens when the bug occurs? NPC sims including played and unplayed start doing a repeated T pose flapping animation which causes an indefinitely long simulation lag to any household I am currently playing.What do you expect to see? I expect to see sims interacting and not having a t-posing flapping animation.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. After the Lovestruck base game patch.‌Since the latest patch update, my sim suffers terrible simulation lag that is worse than usual, broken simulation lag. Resetting my sim doesn't fix it. I notice it happens when an moodlet is timing out but is indefinitely on 0 minutes. I also notice that nearby sims whom I am not in control of, start T-posing oddly. They repeatedly flap their arms while standing in one place, as if their code is stuck in resetting mode and t-posing. This is a glitch I have never seen before. It makes the game unplayable.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I've had this game for a long time. It isn't the mods. I know all about moving the mod folder and yada yada. Issue still persists.

@HenriettaStrife&nbsp;Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

@HenriettaStrife Without a test to show it's not mods -- and this kind of issue has been known to be a result of broken sliders before -- we can't know it's a game issue. Please do a "vanilla" test: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

You are not listening. I have DONE THAT BEFORE. I do that ANYTIME I get an issue BEFORE I come here. I only come here if I know it isn't a mod causing the issue. I don't have sliders by the way. Yeah it's a game issue. With the amount of updates we've been getting, it shows the game is causing these gameplay bugs.
