Sims frozen yet still moving?

For a while now, my game has done this thing where it would randomly freeze if I was in 2x speed for too long or just switching between speeds too frequently. The game would almost pause and the sims would be stuck in place, but you can still see them looking around or slightly bobbing their heads. It’s hard to explain. Either way, it would only happen here and there and I got used to saving my game more frequently because when it does happen, I cannot save or save and exit (save screen never stops loading and I end up having to force quit).

After the July 30th patch update however, it has done this. Every. Single. Time. I found the culprit. It’s whenever my toddler finishes a plate of food. I keep exiting without leaving to pick up where I left off and trying different foods in different places and I watch her. Every time she takes her last bite, it does exactly what I mentioned above. I don’t have the most organized mods folder but I’ve updated the mods that have released updates/usually have issues after updates.

If anyone is experiencing the same thing or knows what to do, please help!!
