Frozen sims

Ever since yesterday morning, anytime I set my sims to do a task, they work for a few seconds before freezing in place. Arms at their sides, eyes vacant of all life. If I open the options panel, they spring back to life and return to their task for another burst of 2 seconds and then freeze again. I don't currently have any mods installed so it's not a mods issue. Anyone come across anything like this?

  • S2W23​  Do you still need help?  If so, please try playing a different household in this same save and see whether you get the same issue.  You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing.

    If the other household is unaffected, try moving your main household to a different lot, something empty or EA-made, nothing from the Gallery or your own library.  You don't have to save here either.

    If the other household has the same problem, try a new save.  If that has the problem too, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
