Sim not responding immediately task/action

Looks like I have this too. I have no mods and what happens is:

I can try different actions, going to bed, use the computer... it works the first time and then stops until I restart the game. I'm living in the fairy neighbourhood, the starter house there. I'm a fairy.

Gotto say, the state of the game doesn't feel very good, it's super expensive and so much just doesn't work!

Same on Xbox One. Doesnt happen all the time but often enough to be really disruptive and annoying.

Hi

Is there goingvto be an update at all to repair this problem in the game. I have paid out for different packs etc and since the first update I've not been able to play this game at all. Im very disappointed.

Hello all,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

Thanks!

Mine won't do anything I ask them to do. They go there but just stand around. I just can't play my game anymore. It's been like that since the update.

I've tried a few things to try and fix it but no good.

Hoping they do an update for it.

I'm having the same issue and I play on Xbox.

I have the same issues!! I give my sim and action, and they just stand still for about 30seconds without moving… it’s really annoying and speeding up time doesn’t help.

I have the same issue I’m on ps5. Though didn’t play on live mode for well over a week and there where 2 updates so I’m hoping one of them fixed it.

I had this happening prior to the last 2 updates, haven't played in live mode since. It would affect every sim in the household, they would have actions queued up but just stand there. Resetting them didn't work, cancelling and re-queueing the actions also didn't help. Opening the save menu and closing again did fix it and everyone would immediately start their actions.

I'm playing on PC with no mods.

Please test your issue on a vanilla game

To verify on a vanilla game, move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the following files from your user folder.

-  localthumbcache
-  Any lastException Files
-  Any LastCrash files.

Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.
