Sims Stuck in Loop Using Computer

Platform: PC (EA App)

Game Version: [ The sim 4 version before and after the March 17–18, 2026 update] issue is more occurring after the latest update 

Mods/CC: None

Description:

After the latest Sims 4 update and hotfix, I am experiencing a bug where my Sim gets stuck repeatedly selecting and unselecting a a interaction. and has started happen a lot after using the new CAS “dislike” feature for objects. Specifically:

  1. I set my Sim to dislike the computer in CAS.
  2. After repairing the game and loading my save, the Sim automatically attempted to use the computer.
  3. The game conflicted with the dislike setting, causing the Sim to endlessly loop selecting/unselecting the computer interaction.
  4. I then removed the dislike in CAS, but the loop continued. The Sim remains stuck and does not perform other actions. casuing no gameplay
  5. This occurs with no mods or custom content installed.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a Sim and set a CAS dislike for an object (computer or phone).
  2. Save and exit the game.
  3. Repair the game (optional).
  4. Remove the dislike in CAS.
  5. Load the save. The Sim begins to automatically interact with the object but gets stuck in a loop selecting/unselecting.

Expected Outcome:

The Sim should either respect the dislike and avoid the object, or interact normally without getting stuck in a loop.

Actual Outcome:

The Sim gets stuck in a looping interaction, continuously selecting and unselecting the object, making noises, and cannot perform other actions.

Additional Notes:

  • The issue happens in my main save.
  • The bug persists even after clearing the cache, repairing the game, and resetting the Sim (resetsim *).
  • Creating a new save or moving the Sim to a different lot has not fully resolved the problem.
