Sims won't move. Cannot switch between sims either.

Having a recent issue with my sims getting stuck after playing the game for maybe 10 or 20 minutes. They will not move, and I am also unable to switch between sims. However, when I pause the game, then it'll switch to the sim I clicked on in live mode. This has only started recently happening after the last few updates (particularly bad after the one earlier this month). I'm assuming it's likely from mods, but I also read some forums from years ago with people having the same issue, and they claim its from the seasons expansion. It would happen to them when the weather would switch. I have had Seasons for years and never had this issue though, so I am still thinking its from mods. Does anyone have any idea if there are any specific mods causing this issue recently? Here are the ones that are in my game:

MCCC

Pink Mode UI

Basemental D

LMS Pregnancy Overhaul

Childbirth Mod by Pandasama

Relationship and Pregnancy Overhaul

UI Cheats Extension

All Beds Same Energies

Less Obsession

BreakNoMore

SteadySit

Choose Leftovers

QuickEats

No Bad Microwave Buffs

No Meal Spawning Roomies

No Intro

No ZZZ

No Makeup No Accessories On Random Sims

Less Intrusive Sims

LMS Chores

LMS School Holidays

Bed Cuddle

Then I have some mods for traits, CC (which has never been the source of major issues in my game, so I highly doubt this is what's causing it), and other stuff such as CAS backgrounds, a different loading screen, map replacers etc.

Most of these mods have been in my game for a very long time and have never given me issues until recently. I am typically very good at updating them too, so if any of these have had a recent update, I do have it downloaded.

Thanks!

  • @AudCT Replace QuickEats with Simularity's Faster Book Writing (orig. by MIKYA) and check Broken/Updated Mods & CC for what's updated, what's broken, and what's known to cleared. Note that there are creators and mods not supported here. Check your complex mods for correct installation - a common cause of this problem is not having all the right parts for your mods.

    If that still leaves you with problems, try using the EA App to do a Game Repair so EA checks your program files.

    If you're getting a last exception file when this happens, I'm happy to look at that.
