Just got the game on Ps4 this past Saturday. I have been playing fine but now my one Sim will not do any actions. He just stands there and the actions never move down. How do I fix this?

Press L1,L2,R1, and R2 to bring up the cheat bar, then type in resetSim and the sims first and last name and press enter

I’ve experienced this too and what worked for me was bringing up the game menu and letting it sit there and in the background you’ll see the actions move down and stuff

Hi, we've been having this issue since day one. I came to see if they were gonna fix it, as it's happening so much now, it's unplayable. I'm on xbox tho.Anyway, what does work for us, is to save the game, exit, start another totally different game, like, idk, cuthbert goes skiing, lol, and then go back. Make sure you save it in a couple of places.This is rubbish, esp for a brand new triple a game, but hey, its ea, soooooo...

Yeah, sim reset usually works. Just go with "Resetsim Name Surname" without " and other additional signs. I have this problem too. By the way, the game consider a "resetSim" a command, not a cheat; so you will still be able to get achievements after using it.

It just happened to me. The fix for this is... you go into build mode, place an item on top of the stuck sim so that it moves them away from the place they were stuck. Works everytime.

I found a solution that worked for me. I transferred the stuck SIM to another household and played my current one for a few minutes. Then I transferred my SIM back and everything works as normal. Hope this helps!

I have a family of three sims, the male in my family will not do any actions I set. His needs keep going down and I’m trying to fulfil what he needs but the action won’t go to the bottom for him to actually do it. My other two sims are fine and doing everything normally. When I reset the game or even my PlayStation he will fulfill the last action I set but won’t do any more after that. He is going to die before I know it and it’s extremely frustrating!!

Just wondering if you guys leave your consoles in 'sleepy time / instant on' mode or if you completely shut it down?
If you do leave it in those modes, try giving your system a restart before launching the sims and see if that helps at all.

I shut my ps4 down completely every time. Just transferring the stuck SIM to another household and then back again worked for me. The reset SIM will erase everything my SIM has so I'm glad I found another way to fix It! Where can I find more cheats for the PS4?

What do you mean the reset sim will erase everything your sims has?
