Re: My sims wo'nt follow any comands

If you haven't already, try these tips:

1. Move your mods folder to the desktop.

How to Move the Mods Folder to Desktop:
[Go to C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 and click on the Mods folder, select Cut and paste it to the desktop for testing purposes.]

If the game runs well without the mods folder. This most likely means that it is outdated mod or cc. This can happen as we get updates for the game, some mods and custom content become outdated. You'll need to to go through your mods folder to find what needs to be replaced or deleted.

2. Turn off Origin In-Game:
Open Origin, Select Origin > Application Settings > Origin In Game tab and click the on/off switch to disable Origin In Game. - This deactivates Origin In-Game, as it has been known to cause problems with games.

3. Try a Sims 4 factory reset and a new game save without mods/cc.

Move the Sims 4 folder from the Electronic Arts folder to the desktop, for testing purposes and to backup your Sims 4 files.

[Go to C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\ and click on the The Sims 4 folder, select Cut and paste it to the desktop.]

Repair the Sims 4 game. In Origin > Games Library - right-click on Sims 4 and select Repair.

After repairing the game, Run the game, start a new game save without mods, to see if the issue remains.

If all goes well with a new game. Copy your old saved games from the Sims 4 folder on your desktop to the new Sims 4 folder in [C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4].

Try playing one of the older saved games. If that goes okay, start to put back the other files and folders. (list of files and folders below).

- Options.ini (User game settings)
- Tray Folder (Sims/Houses/Commercial lots and rooms)
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games, if any.
(leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave. It is not used anymore.)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, makeup
- Mods (Put these back one by one to make sure they all still work)
