[AA] Sims barely exercise while on spinning bike

SIGNIFICANT UPDATE: I tested in a new save file with a different household renaming the folder to "The Sims 4_Backup" and following the process as recommended. I discovered that the higher the Fitness skill level, the less they move on the spinning bike. I attach a new video with 3 Sims, where from left to right the Fitness levels are 2, 5, and 10, respectively. Clearly the level 10 one does not exercise at all if compared with the other two Sims.

When I send my Sims to mount the spinning bike, they barely move their legs, meaning that they make the bike movement for 3 seconds or so and stay mounted doing nothing/in an idle state, but they do make the drinking animation while on the bike from time to time.

I already tested without mods, cleaning localthumbcache and repairing the game via EA App. My Sim was Energized, all needs in good state and nothing was blocking the bike grid, and it happened both in the household lot and while on the Fitness Retreat, where there is considerably more space than in my own lot's gym space. Also my Sim has maxed the Fitness skill .

I attach proof. I had to cut the video to meet the max file size, so sorry if it ends up blurry and short, but the lack of action just keeps repeating over 1 minute of my original video.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this lack of animation does not change if there is a spinning instructor because if affects both my Sims and other guests if I'm at a Fitness Retreat.

  • Have the same issue while on a fitness retreat. NPC are doing the workout but my sims are just sitting on the bike.

    Unfortunately I am not sure what you mean by "the only one you're having issues with" but the 3 Sims in my household react the same way while on the bike.

    I mean animations in general. Sorry.

    Like do you have instances where they just not doing the animation for something ? Like any interaction.

    Oh no, just these bikes. I would say the free weights also have animations getting stuck but definitively not at this level.

    Hi, I have an update (already modified my original post) regarding the bikes. I renamed The Sims 4 folder to The Sims 4_Backup at the end and tested in a new household in a brand new save. The Sim with level 10 Fitness skill does not move on the bike, while other Sims with lower Fitness levels (2 and 5) constantly move. I think it has to do with certain levels that the animation is not carried out properly. I uploaded a new video as evidence.
