Sims don't 'witness death' and the grim reaper won't reap! Also, can't create an

Hi Everyone,

I have an issue with my Sims 4 game. When a sim or pet dies, the other Sims, are supposed to react immediately, and "Witness Death", and start crying etc, and then the Grim Reaper is supposed to appear. However this does not happen, and none of the Sims even react, and they just act normally, and go about their usual business. After around 10-15 minutes, the other Sims then reach and start crying. However the Grim reaper does turn up after that point.

But he will only get stuck in a loop, and he will fddle and play with his iPad or tablet etc. He won't reap the Sim who had died. If I try and reset the Grim Reaper he just dissapears from view, and after a while, he reappears somewhere in the house, and starts interacting with my families Sims, having conservation's on the sofas, and at one point I found him playing with a football doing some sort of football kicking/athletic routine!

If I try to reset the Sim who has died, he will either: A - Be revived if I have reset him/her before the witness death stage has begun, or B - If the witness death stage has started, they will dissapear, and the game will deposit his or her funds into my household account, but no urn or tombstone will be created.

Can anyone help me find out what has gone wrong, and why these bugs are occurring. It seemed to start after I installed some Sims 4 Add-on Packs. I do use some custom mods/content etc, but I have removed them all and tested the game and put them back in, and just left the base game and add-on packs in place, and there was no change at all!

Kind regards,
