sims not interacting with objects

When i was playing last week everything was fine, until i wanted to cook something. The "not able to walk" icon or whatever is it called showed up and then everything stopped working so i know its not just about something being close to the object.

It happens with almost everything, a stove, a bed, a sofa and i even tried moving these things to the garden but they still won't walk there (they're able to walk next to the object, but won't do anything with it). I tried repairing the game, travelling with family etc but nothing helped.

Last time i downloaded something modded was three days before this occurred and it worked normally.

If someone knows what to do, or know someone who had this problem and solved it  please help ☹️

  • I'm pretty sure it's related to Bust the Dust, WHICH I HAVE DISABLED. It's still causing the counters to be unusable. I've had my sims vacuum them for hours, I've installed Simmytime's mod, I've used cheats to reset the counters, and I've given my sims the robot vacuum that's supposed to automatically clean everything. The counters are still unusable, and the dust was disabled in the first place.

    My sims are living on grilled fruit and mushrooms, and Dina Caliente is now getting bad moodlets from the gas grill's fumes.

    @sleekoduck87  Have you tried replacing the counters or placing them somewhere else?  If not, please place a few outside, with nothing around them except perhaps a stove, and see whether your sims can use them.

    If that doesn't help, try enabling Bust the Dust temporarily, then vacuuming again.  You can use "save as" to rename the save so you're experimenting on a backup copy while the original remains intact under its current name.
