After completing the new update on the Sims 4, I'm constantly having to reset them. They all just stop moving. I have no mods on my game, no old files or saves as I got so fed up with it I removed everything and re-installed the game, created a new household of one and it just keeps freezing. No idea what to do.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue
As title stated, my sims keep freezing mid task like theyre stuck in a loop. It started after my sim had a couple fairy children born, I dont know if its coincidence or causation. But my sims keep freezing, while doing just about anything. Repairing fridge? freeze. but some characters are fine. reset bugged sim fixing fridge and have his daughter fix it instead no problem. But theyre sticking constantly. Interacting with each other/children/objects. I have tried reseting them and sometimes it works to unstick them, but sometimes it does not. They freeze in different positions or doing different things, but its not the whole game, some of my other sims in the household can go about their objectives without issue.
My nanny was also having the freezing issue.
Its not a pathing issue there is plenty of space for interactions.
No mods or cc installed.
For several months, my sims will freeze and just stand there for several in-game hours while the world around them passes by like normal. Then, when they unfreeze, they will cancel whatever actions I commanded them to do. It's becoming increasingly frustrating. I do not play with mods or custom content, I have repaired my game multiple times. Sometimes, even when they aren't freezing, they just flat out won't do what I command of them for no reason. I also noticed the autonomous function has been lacking. Even NPC's just stand around doing nothing. I haven't disabled autonomy in my settings at all.
Are just the Sims stuck or the time too ?
It happened a few times where my sim would freeze (stand completely still without any movement) when I played yesterday. After a few resets it would fix itself. But when it happened again today no amount of resetting her or her horse (that she was interacting with at the time) fixed either of them. Another sim in my household was fine during that time though. It was just her and the horse that froze and refused to move no matter what I told her to do.
I have no CC or mods, and have never had any installed. Nor have I ever messed around with any game files. Is this a new game bug that came with the latest update or just my game? This has never happened in my game before.
After the base game update and the Enchanted by Nature pack and nature's calling event started, my sims have been freezing up. I don't have any cc or mods installed.
Suddenly, and without a correlation in what they were doing, one sim in my family freezes up and doesn't do any of the tasks, I queued. The problem is, when one sim freezes one by one the rest of the family starts freezing too and I have to reset them until I find the one who initially froze up. If I reset one that wasn't the first to freeze it doesn't work, I have to reset patient zero - so to speak.
I have noticed going on walks with my dogs does set it up more often than other tasks. The family I've been playing with is living in the horse ranch world on the biggest lot and includes a ghost, 2 other sims and 2 dogs, in case that makes a difference.
I have a household of 5 sims. I've experience sims freezing when i choose an action, multiple times with each sim while playing today. They don't complete the task and can't do any other tasks I assign after. They just stand in same spot and do nothing. Other sims can do tasks but get frozen also if they try to interact with frozen sim. Restarted and repaired game about 5 times in an hour and had no improvement.
