This affects ALL sims across ALL save files, including new ones, and regardless of the lot-type. Whenever I tell them to sit down, they'll stay still, and the "sitting" icon which is usually small and placed under the sims-action-queue is bigger as if it's a major action (such as talking or washing hands). Speaking of washing hands, my sims will also refuse to move for that! They'll simply stand still, and wash their hands right where they're standing (w/ the animation) except they're nowhere near the sink. The ONLY action that I could successfully make them do is walking; nothing else. (OBS. my sims were working perfectly fine before said update)
Things I've done in attempt to fix it that did not work:
Right now (after HOURS of testing) I've come to the conclusion that Get Together is the culprit. If I disable the pack, my game works fine again, but at soon as I enable it; broken again. This is also regardless of whether or not my mods are enabled.
This really sucks, because now I can't play with my save files, since they all use that pack; and so I had to make a new one without it. As of right now, I'm playing the game with both mods and Get Together disabled.
I haven't been able to find anyone else who has had this issue, so I'm not sure if others are affected as well, or if my game is just corrupted somehow. I have never in my 6+ years of playing sims had this issue before.
It's been 3 months and I honestly have not touched the game since this update. I keep on updating my game with every patch hoping it'll magically fix the issue, but nope; it's still broken. I did some testing today and found out that my sims' needs will decay, however, will remain green while my sims is unaffected even though they should be starving.
So yes, the expansion pack STILL makes my game unplayable, and at this point I'm just pissed. Can't even repair it on the EA app cause the option simply does not appear. My last resort might be to reinstall the entire game, but it honestly scares me as i'm not sure it'll delete my save-files and progress.
Game works fine without the pack, but it really sucks I can't just get to play with the DLC I've paid money for.
EDIT: I reinstalled the game as well as my DLC from the EA app, and the game works now! I'm gonna run some more tests to make sure it also works when I enable mods, but I'm honestly so relieved this worked (it took 9,5 hours).
