Hi! I play on a Mac and I’ve been having major issues with my Sims 4 game for a couple months.

 

Here’s what’s happening:

  • Sims will often stand around doing nothing after being given tasks.
  • Interactions freeze mid-animation (for example, they’ll start cooking and then just stop in place).
  • I’ve had issues with Sims getting stuck in idle animations or failing to route to objects.
  • Parts of the UI sometimes bug out or lag badly.
  • Build mode graphics do not align.

 

What I’ve tried:

  • Repaired the game through the EA App
  • Cleared cache and deleted the localthumbcache
  • Removed all mods/CC and tested in a vanilla save — the issues still happened
  • Slowly re-added updated versions of key mods — problems continue
  • Tested both new and old saves — same issues in both
  • Game is fully updated as of June 2025

 

 

System Info:

 

  • macOS (can provide specific version if needed)
  • Playing through the EA App (I used Origin before the switch)

 

I’d really appreciate any help — these issues are making the game nearly unplayable right now.

Your second screenshot is caused by Mods, maybe TwistedMexi's BBB mod.

You need to properly test a complete clean game. See the opening post in this thread for further help and instructions. I know your game is loading but technically it isn't properly working.
