Sims 4 Sims won't move can't do actions

Hi there, 

I would say the easiest way to fix this problem is with a quick cheat to reset your sim. I play with one household who consistently has glitching problems and this usually always fixes them.

Please be aware you will have to have cheats on for this to work.

To turn cheats on, (on console) you press all 4 triggers in unison to bring up a typing box, or the cheats 'menu'. Then type: 'testingcheats true'.

The cheat to reset your sim will cancel all their current actions and allow you to ask them to do them again. (This usually fixes the glitching)

To reset your sim you will need to type the following into the 'cheats menu', as I like to call it,:

resetSim FirstName LastName

So, for instance, if my sim was called 'Hailey Hammonds' I would type:

resetSim Hailey Hammonds

For her to be reset.

Thank you for reading, I hope I could be of some help to you! Have a great day!

same thing is happening to me
