Community ManagerHi there @Keia24,
Have you tested this without any mods/CC in your game at all?
@EA_Solaire Thank you for your response. No, I have not tested it without Mods/CC in my game, although after I asked this question, the game updated towards the end of last year, and the problem seemed to have fixed itself, and I could play it for a little bit. However, once I bought more content (i.e., another expansion pack and a few new kits from Origin) multiple weeks ago, the problem returned. Therefore the pack is still unplayable for me.

Hi, there
First, need to try the game without mod/CC as @EA_Solaire mentioned.
This is so that if a glitch occurs when playing with a mod/CC, we will know if the glitch is caused by the original game system or by the mod/CC.
To try in a game without mod/cc, follow the steps below.
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.
If you have many mods/CCs, you can use the 50/50 method to find the cause.
Please refer to the following site for instructions on how to perform the 50/50 method.
If you have a problem with a game without mods/CCs, please report it again to this post, including whether you are playing on Windows or Mac.
Thank you in advance.@Pick-a-boo_doo Thank you for your response. I forgot to mention that now when I send my sims to high school, they no longer move on the lot at all. Once the lot loads, all of the teens, including NPC teens, stand in place on the sidewalk with zero movements. The school employees move only. I will try to remove my CC/Mods, although I have quite a few. How can I keep the game from resetting the CC/Mods I currently use in my active households if I remove the files from the game? I ask because I once loaded the game and my CC/Mods were somehow disabled by default. Without thinking, I saved the game while it was in that state, and it reset the CC/Mods on all of my households which was devastating for me as I did not know which CC/Mods items each sim had and, therefore, ended up deleting all of my played households out of frustration.
Where do I locate the instructions for performing the 50/50 method you are referring to in your response?
@Keia24
Sorry!
I forgot to add the URL.
https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content#The_50.25_Method
That is Sims 2 category page, but the method is the same.
And be sure to delete localthumbcache.package. This is important. CC and other data can remain in localthumbcache.package.
I'm really sorry.
I hope you get your problem resolved.Adding:
You say you don't want to reset the mods/CCs, how about taking a screenshot of each sim before testing?
But you will not be able to use the CC or the mods that are still broken, because the game will not work properly if you do not delete them.
