Cannot Hear Footsteps in Game

For some reason, I cannot hear footsteps in the game. I first noticed this a while ago, and I thought it was a simple glitch within the game, so I restarted Origin and everything. However, when I restarted my save, I still couldn't hear footsteps. So, I checked my settings and realized that each of the audio settings was on and was at 100%. I changed my Sim into heels to see if I could hear their footsteps better, and I had her walk around a bit. And after a while, I realized that I still couldn't hear my Sim's footsteps.

After doing all this, I noticed that it also happens with other Sims as well. So, I went off again, and tried to repair my game with Origin. And once again, that didn't work either. I also realized I had gotten a few LastException warnings when I first started, so I'm thinking that that is the reason why. Although, I'm not exactly sure.

The packs that I have installed for the game are Discover University, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Get to Work, Seasons, Parenthood, Vampires, Vintage Glamour, Kitchen Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Kids' Room Stuff & Toddler Stuff. The Mods that I have installed are MC Command Center, and All Cheats, and I currently have both mods enabled.

    @Bluebellflora || Would I be removing this entire row? I just want to make sure that I'm not deleting anything I'm not supposed to.

  • @Bluebellflora || Oh! And I also forgot to mention in my original post. I realized that the issue only happens in specific game files. But every time I switched game files or made a new one to try and save the problem, a new one would occur. I had made a Spellcaster Sim at the time since I recently purchased Realm of Magic along with some other packs. I had also gotten my Sim the Tomes for High & Low Ranked Spellcasters for my Sim to speed up the process of leveling in their ranks. But when my Sim leveled up in that save file, there would be no sound effect, notification, or something like, "[Sim Name] is a Virtuoso Spellcaster!"

    That Spellcaster save file originally was the one with no footstep sounds, so I switched to another save, which is the one that I'm currently using (which also has footstep sounds currently, because I switched), with the glitchy rank system. I found a solution for now, which is not becoming a Spellcaster, at least until the situation is fixed. 

    Just thought I should let you know, since I forgot to mention it in the original post. 🙂

    Please could you upload your save that this happens in to a file sharing site and post the link in a post here or PM it to me?

    @Bluebellflora || I sent you the save file via DMs. It is the one with the glitchy ranks and the footstep problem, since it occurred in that save file as well, not just my original one.
