Sims standing around when not given a command (Autonomy on)

After last update my sims will stand in one place until I tell them to do something like go to the bathroom. Once done and hands are washed the sims just stands there till I tell them to go paint. I've done this with and without Mods and it is still the same result. I've un-installed and reinstalled nothing changes. If my Sim is in a public area everyone moves around and my Sim standstill. I tried it with an infant and they moved a bit more to interact with the needs if the baby but still nothing more then that. The game isn't much fun this way so if someone could look into it that would be great.

Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title

Note from EA_Solaire:

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: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/information-how-to-send-user-files-to-the-sims-4-team/5048472

Thanks!

  • i just factory reset my computer a few days ago and i redownloaded the sims 4 and now theyre not doing anything unless i tell them to. they will stand there and pee themselves and still not do anything. I have like 5 custom contents and thats it

    ive repaired the game, uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted mods, reset sims, my autonomy is on, i really dont know what else to be doing. ive looked at other posts like mine but nothing is helping me

  • My sims have no autonomy anymore. I've reinstalled the game, deleted every folder before doing so, cleared the localthumbcache and don't use any mods. The full autonomy Option is enabled in the menu, the settings allow them all the free will in the world, but they won't use it. Resetting sims doesn't work. New save files, new households or new sims don't work either. It's the same bug everywhere in-game. Only NPC's have free will it seems.

    My sims just stand around doing literally nothing until they collapse dead on the ground.
