Sims suddenly just stand there idle

I'm having this problem now as well. I've tried all the troubleshooting solutions I've been able to find online, and it's still happening. When I load into a household, the sims will work fine for the first few seconds, they just stop doing anything and just stand there idle, both controlled and non-controlled.
Autonomy is set to High, I tried moving my households out then back in, evicted them then moved them back into the world via gallery, repaired the game, backed up files, deleted Sims 4 folder and let the game generate a new one, uninstalled and re-installed with no mods, and it's still happening. I have no idea what is causing it.
did you also try a new save or is this all happening on the same save game ?
Any special interaction it gets stuck on or just generally ?
Generally and on the same save game. I always save using "Save As". I tried switching to different households and it happens no matter the sim I am playing. All sims will be working fine, then suddenly they all just stop moving, but remain in whatever pose they were in mid-action. I tried using the cheat "resetsim" and "sims.hard_reset", and it will get rid of any actions that are queued, but none of the sims will move.
Could you try a complete fresh save to see if it also happens there.
Are you using no custom content or just no mods in your game ?
How big is your save game ?
Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

You can attach the txt file to your post directly.tried a new save using "Save As" and it's still happening, and I took out all mods and CC from my game when trying a new save and when I re-installed the game and let it generate a new Sims 4 folder.
