Sims Cannot Socially Interact or Follow Commands

Game Version: 1.108.349.1020

Just reinstalled a brand new version of the Sims 4 with a nuked user folder and no mods/custom content to confirm that all the issues I have are with the base game. In its current state, the game is unplayable. Sims regularly ignore commands. If they do happen to interact with an object, they will appear to perform the interaction while standing idly in place. An example of this is shown in the picture below, where a command was sent to sit in the park bench at the top right corner.

Commands also do not cancel. Clicking on a task to cancel it will result in the task being greyed out with an X over it, though it will remain visible in queue. This prevents commands that come afterward from being carried out as well. Interestingly enough, the only command that seems to be cancelable so far is using the toilet. But other bathroom-related commands such as washing hands cannot be canceled.

Sims also cannot socialize. When attempting to talk to another sim, both sims will dance indefinitely unless one of them is forcibly reset through cheats.

In my other save file of the game (before I nuked my user folder), sims weren't even able to travel from lots. The sim would enter the travel animation (talking on the phone) and remain in it indefinitely until reset. I'm assuming it's related to the other issues.

All of this happened after the Loverush update. I didn't post right away because I assumed emergency hotfixes would address these issues or that there would be other posts with similar problems, given how many bugs were reported after Loverush. But I haven't found any solutions yet and so I still can't play the game. It's worth mentioning that CAS is working perfectly fine.
