sims stand around
So lately whenever I create a new sim and move them into a house they just stand around. Autonomy is on full, I don't play with mod's or any creator content. If I switch to any old house holds I don...
I'm so tired of trying all these things. I gave up and uninstalled the game, I deleted everything related to The Sims off the pc and did a fresh download and it's still doing it. I'm just going to consider the game broken.
@Juairea727 If you don't want to troubleshoot anymore, that's okay. But if you would like to keep trying, now or later, I'm not out of ideas yet. The next step would be to try in a clean boot:
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot your computer, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down any service that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example anything from MSI Afterburner to RGB software might still be enabled. If you accidentally kill a critical process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again.
Don't open anything other than Sims 4 and the EA App while testing, not even a browser window.
Any time you want to pick this up again, feel free to come back with the results, and we can go from there. If it's been more than about two weeks though, please also post a new dxdiag.
