Hello,&nbsp;I have the same issue: when i tell my sim to swim, the "steps" in the thumbnail appear and the action is cancelled. It does the same without any mod in the game. Thank you for your help !

I have an issue with Sims swimming in the ocean or even sailing to a spot. I turned if my Mods and CC, and it's fine now. But I want to use my Mods, so I want to know if there is any way I can find out what particular CC is messing my game up?&nbsp;
