Sims Standing Still (Laptop, Windows 10)

 Hello, I have a two very odd bugs on The Sims 4. Please help? 

1. I'm going to go through and see if there's any broken mods I downloaded which could have caused this but my Sims stand still for ages, even though the queue has tasks in it. 

2. When it's time for my Sims to go to work, (I think this is residual from the first bug) but they just simply stand there and the clock resets for the next time they go to work, and then it repeats. Also, my Sims children won't age up from infant to child, so my Sim just has to constantly care for them.

  • Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
