    Hi, there
    Does that problem occur without the MODs/CC?
    If you haven't tried it yet, try the following steps to unplug the MODs/CC.
    Procedure:
    1. Moving your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package.
    2. Test the game without the mod.
    3. If it works normally, check for updates to your mods/CC.
    4. You can then add them back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
    Hope your help.

    Hi, there
    You write;
    "took away the mods i had downloaded prior to the last 2 weeks, nothing changed".
    Is that all the mods you have?
    If taking out all the mods did not resolve the issue, then there may be a problem with the way the items are placed.
    Did you place the object with "Move Object" turned on?" If you have "Move Object" turned on, you can place objects in positions where they should not be. If so, the Sims will not be able to find a route to the object. Try to place the object in the correct position with the "Move Object" turned off.
    If you still have problems, please take a screenshot and attach it so we can try to figure out what is going on.
    Hope your help.
