sim won't go to work

Did you try taking out all your mods at once? Just place the mods folder outside the EA folder and test your game. If it still happens you can put the mods folder back.

yeah I already tried that, made no difference.

Remove your sims 4 folder in C/drive my documents Eletronics arts sims 4 right click on the folder click cut and paste it to desktop start game and a new sims 4 folder will appear Note : The new folder that appears is default and will have to Mods or CC 

I uninstalled and then re-instaled via origin, why did this not make any difference at all? 

With uninstalling and reinstalling you're just removing the game files and putting them back.

Do you think this sounds like your issue?

I have tried just moving my mods folder and re-starting the game to see if I had a bad mod or something, which made no difference so I will just move the entire sims4 folder to see if it makes a difference. 

In terms of the link you posted, I don't have that problem my sim will simply just not move at all, if I tell her to go to work the sim action just disappears and they just stand around as if nothing was clicked at all. (they won't even walk out of the house as if to go to work.)

I had a similar issue. I had a Teen who wouldn't go to High School. It only lasted a day, though, so I didn't think too much of it, but it could be related to what you're experiencing.

I don't use any mods or CC. I have the holiday expansion, Spooky Stuff, and Go To Work. I think at the time this happened, I only had The Sims 4. Later on, the whole lot aged up and then regressed spontaneously, so this one was small potatoes for me, but if it's related it might help to have the additional information.

Thanks,

Do you have the issue in a new game as well? Could you test that?
