My sims either won't follow a command (just stand there) or they "do" it without actually moving. For example, they will go to sleep without getting into bed. I've linked to a video to better explain. As you can see from the video this is without mods/cc installed. I play on an M1(2020) Mac.

if anyone else is having this problem try removing the movie hangout stuff pack.
I have no clue why but after removing it game works as normal again even on old saves
I have been having the exact same problems, even without cc or mods. It has been unplayable for months and it got worse after the last update, only CAS is playable. I've tried new saves, deleting old stuff, updated everything, repaired the game, nothing is working :/
I’ve been having this issue since the new pack (Businesses and Hobbies) download.
This has been happening since updating the game today. Sims will stand in one place while activities I make them do are happening remotely.
For example, if I make them use the grill they are standing miles away from it and food just spawns on the grill.
This happens to everything I make them do, if I make them sleep, their sleep bar fills but they just stand in the middle of the room.
If I make them play piano their skill is raising but they're not physically sitting next to a piano.
Latest game version, no mods atm, cleared cache, repaired game and new save.
I’m having the exact same issue, it’s racking my brain. I’ve tried repairing the game, mod cleaner/reports, uninstalling, taking my mods out completely, deleting useless files. I don’t think it’s the father winter issue either, although I’m having similar symptoms. Im trying to avoid deleting my save but if I must sacrifice it I will. :(
Sorry I am playing on PC
What platform are you on ?
I have this issue too since one of the more recent updates/packs my sims will complete whatever tasks I set them without actually moving, sometimes they even go to work while also being visible on the home lot. The portrait fades out like they are at work and I can change things on it like work hard etc..... or if I tell them to eat or shower or whatever their hunger/hygiene will go up as if eating or showering while they are still standing where they were. I have all packs/expansions/kits and have never used mods or CC
Edited to just add I have tried repairing my game several times.
