Hi, I have two households who aren’t responding to commands and skills and when I take photos they won’t stay still for photos, also my game has been fixed since last forum I sent out. I kept all the...
Ideas
Often my sims don't respond to the actions I'm clicking on. For example, I'll tell them to cook something, and they just stand there and the action doesn't appear in the queue, or if it does then it disappears quickly and they don't react to it. Same thing happens with other actions, such as talking to other sims. The 'reset/debug' button sometimes helps, but it keeps coming back.
Could you please provide the following information
- Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
There's already several similar threads for this. This will probably be merged with one of them.
I do not use mods or cc.
I am having to resend my sims to do things multiple times before they will actually do it. They longest problem from this issue was sending a child to sleep in a tree house for a task. Another was having an adult check on a toddler. The adult kept walked back and forth repeatedly. The child would walk to doorways or stairs and then stop, and the command would disappear.
I am having this problem with my fairy sim. I am not sure if every single item will give the same results, but I tested on multiple items in the bedroom. And she has used these same items before with no problem and nothing has changed. The following screenshots show me trying to get her to check her university application status on the computer and she will just stand there. I could tell her to walk past the green chair and she did that. But she would not sit in it. She would not sit in the other chairs when I tell her to either, nor take a shower or a bath. You can see all items in command queue and I used different items that are visible in surrounding rooms. Then, I used another household member and told him to take a bath and then to use the computer, and he had no problem complying with both using the same items. The only thing she will do there when I tell her to is enter her fairy house.
I have no mods or cc. I just had reset my sims 4 folder that you had me do for other issues and I have not added the UI Cheat mod back to my game or anything else.
I don't know what is going on with the forum the past two or three days, but it hasn't been allowing me to post and now I cannot upvote on this topic either. When I highlight to do so it says "Voting has been completed."

This particular issue already has one (or several) threads but I didn't have the time to go look for it so it's locked for upvotes.
I found her in another area of the house and noticed she had queued herself up to take a bath in the tub upstairs, which seems to be her favorite. But she just stood there until it dropped. I tried to make her take a bath in the tub you see her standing in front of and that failed. And then I tried to get her to go sit on the couch just outside that bathroom and that failed as well.
I updated my game yesterday, but didn’t actually play it as I do use mods: UI Cheats, MCCC, and Wonderful Whims and I wanted to wait for them all to be updated. Other than that, I have a lot of CAS custom content. I decided to start a new save and wanted my Sim to read a book. I queued it up, but my Sim was just standing outside. I reset her and clicked on a random spot on the floor for the “go here” command, and she did that. Still wouldn’t read the book when I clicked it. I used the go here command again to get her upstairs and in front of the bookcase. Still wouldn’t read the book. Wouldn’t sit on her bed. Would do anything. I’m going to try taking out my mods folder next, but other people that don’t use mods are having the same problem, so I don’t have much hope tbh
Update: About 15 minutes later, no mods (as show by my oddly pale and bald Sim 😂), the game is just literally not working. Everyone stood around doing literally nothing, not even talking. She still wouldn’t do anything I queued up. This game is simply hopeless
I started a new save yesterday after updating the game and my mods and moved the sim to Nordhaven. I wanted her to go inside and read a book, but she wouldn’t move. The queued action didn’t move either. I reset my sim and she still didn’t move. I tried the go here command and she walked into the house no problem. I queued up the book again and still nothing. I used the go here command again to walk her upstairs to the bookshelf and she still didn’t take the book to read. My sim also didn’t sit down when I selected a chair or her bed, either.
I closed the game and removed my mod folder since I thought maybe Wonderful Whims might have been messing something up since that’s the one mod I use that wasn’t updated. I loaded the game up again and selected an old save, shown below with my sim without her custom skin or hair. I told my sim to sit down, but neither she or the other two Sims moved to do anything at all for the five minutes I left the game running without doing anything. They didn’t sit, they didn’t walk around, they didn’t judge the furniture, they didn’t even talk. They just stood there occasionally looking around.
