@Dislimited The sims dancing instead of following commands is a known issue but, I believe, more of a symptom than a proper bug on its own. It's more like they can't do anything else, so they dance. And given all the other issues you're seeing, it doesn't sound like this is THE problem so much as a side effect.
What kind of install is this: EA App, Steam, Epic, mixed, or something else? (This affects how to repair and how to clean-uninstall/reinstall.) And does it help to disable Lovestruck? Here's how:

I use the Steam version of the game, although I use the EA app to log in. I don't mean to say I have the Lovestruck DLC installed, just that my game was updated to the patch including Lovestruck.
@Dislimited Try playing with your computer offline. You can sign into Steam and the EA App first, put the App in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable. If this helps, try playing with the App in offline mode, and with it online but with Online Social Features (Options > Game Options > Other) disabled. If it doesn't help, try playing offline with a clean boot.
If you still see the same issues, please create a new admin Windows account and repeat the test there. Make it local, as in, don't link it to your Microsoft account. You'll be able to sign into your Steam and EA accounts and launch Sims 4 without reinstalling anything.
Sorry for the delay, but it seems there's been a development. After deleting all of my DLC folders, the base game seems to function normally. So obviously Loverush must have clashed with one or two DLC packs. Now I just need to restore half at a time to find out which folder(s) might be responsible.
Edit: The exact same bug is being caused by several stuff packs, so it'll take a while to test and figure out which ones are the culprits.
@Dislimited That's not normal at all. Steam should give you only fully-updated versions of each of your packs, and if any packs were inherently incompatible with each other, we'd see a lot more reports. Did you install any of your packs through the EA App rather than Steam, and/or did you at some point need to copy pack folders around to get everything recognized?
