sims idling excessively

Hi stinkysnail421​ 

I'm moving this to the mods forum. 

It did this with all my mods taken out. I needed a friend to take my tray files for my sims and add a sim from her old game to refresh the tray code. Cause my sims with zero cc in my game got an infini are loading screen so they got corrupted.

-

that being said 100% it’s some sort of buildbuy or CAS cc giving me this idling problem. I cannot even go folder by folder; I genuinely have to go file by file because it is inconsistent what works and what does not. The latest update broke random pieces of cc.

In essence I have to do a complete CC (build buy and CAS) overhaul and even then anything nothing is guaranteed of working if you’re redownloading past dated stuff. Furthermore, nothing alpha related seems to be working (my findings, hair specifically).

stinkysnail421​ It kinda sounds like something you use is broken even if it shows up fine. Maybe testing using the 50/50 method could help identify it? 

UPDATE:

I just started a new save file with no buildbuy or CAS cc and it worked just fine as normal no weird idling. 

and then I just started another new savefile with CAS cc and no buildbuy items and I'm still getting the excessive idling -> so it seems to be somewhat linked to CAS cc conflicts. Though nothing is showing broken from my sims cc CAS outfits. I copied 1 outfits through out all 5 outfits and I'm still getting idling (non broken CAS CC)

[additional note] i noticed it takes their needs going into yellow for them to move autonomously - and every time they blink the idle animation resets.

Hey Crinrict,

at the moment I only have buildbuy items and CAS cc (nothing that requires script mods, and I've play tested this with an empty lot with just CAS CC and still experienced the same issue)

I'm on a new PC I got last week, so my game is relatively "fresh" since I made a new save file  [I'm running the game on a Lenovo legion pro 5 Ryzen 9 8945HX GeForce RTX5070 windows 11]

Do you not have any mods/cc at all or just no script mods ?

What platform are you on ? PC or Mac ?
