Sims 4 Get Together - Sims won't/can't do anything. [SOLVED]

by Guest Mon 14 Dec 2015, 16:59

Hi there

I just installed Get Together and I believe I've followed all the directions given as to installing correctly. I can start up the game fine, see the new neighbourhood, create sims, build stuff, enter houses... I just can't get my sims to do anything. The actions just pile up in the queue and the sims just stand there doing nothing, no matter how miserable they get. If I click esc and the menu pops up, the sims queue clears but they still do nothing. Once I got a sim to go to the toilet (woop woop!), but it glitched up and he got stuck there, continuosly peeing and apparently washing his hands in the toilet. Yum.

I have no idea what to do. It's the same wheather I play an old sim, one I create or one of the new ones that came with Get Together. Any thoughts on what might cause this and what can be done to fix it?

Cheers

Edit: Applying Ultimate Fix didn't help either... WhatDidUJustCallMe?

I don't have any CC or mods whatsoever, so that's not the issue.

2nd edit: I just tried again, and the problem persists. The "Go here" option keeps flashing in the queue.

When I go to Newcrest there are huge gray squares with a lama in it hovering over the lots... Something is not right with this game Wink

I am also encountering this problem Sad

I have the exact same problem. They restart when for example im going into the menu to exit the game and then go back to live mode, but only for one action then they're stuck doing nothing again... Sad

Started when i installed Get together.

Hello! If the problems you're having is related to the Newcrest Llamas, then Carlos had posted a hotfix(couple of KBs) to fix the issue. However, I am not sure if this will fix your actions queue. Perhaps you could try moving the Sims4 folder out of the Documents so it will create new 'fresh' folders for you? And have you tried running both TS4.exe and TS4_x64.exe?

Unfortunately the hotfix didnt do it for me, nothing happened. I have also disovered that the loading screen takes forever and that when i click the icon for ex ts4.exe it forces origin to pop up its log in screen. I didnt even know i had origin.

I also noticed that when i installed the game both on my computer and my second computer the same thing happened right in the beginning of the file transfer (transfer all the installation folders) windows defender popped up a message about a threat and pinned a files as virus, when i later tried to look into that windows defender basically said "i took care about it for you". Could this file have anything to do with this in game problems? I think it was a .dll type of file.

Did you forget to put the files to the exclusion list in windows defender and your anti-virus? If that message popped up then i can assume that it deleted the .dll (possibly RldOrigin.dll) which makes the origin message appear. If your windows defender did indeed delete that .dll, then perhaps it deleted some other cracks as well without you noticing.

I've tried both the TS4.exe and TS4_64.exe, no difference there. I've also tried moving the Sims4 folder and have the game create a new one, but that didn't change anything. I'll try the hotfix and see what happens.

Edit: Applied the hotfix and got rid of the lamas, but the main issue persists.

When I unzipped the .rar I got the message saying that Windows Defender had removed a threat blablabla so I added the file (can't remember the name) to the exclusions list, unzipped again and got no message, so I'm thinking that's not the problem.

Welcome to the forum,

Unfortunately you ruled out possible solutions, which worked for some other users. One person said he had incompatible mods, and another user said she used a different .exe file for starting the game, and the problem was solved.

Does reducing the graphics options (from the in-game menu) improve anything ?

Sorry if we can't help you further at this point. We still need to look into that ourselves and/or gather feedback...

Since nothing else worked so far, I decided to uninstall the game completely and the re-install it. I installed it in the exact same place as before, so I didn't do anything to the exclution list in Windows Defender. I unzipped the .rar files again and "installed" them in the following order:

- The Sims 4
(moved it out of C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts to C:\Program Files (x86)\)
- Get To Work
- Get Together

I had the weird lama squares in Newcrest, so I added the
- Get Together Hotfix

Then I put my old saves-folder in the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4-folder

Opened the game and... It worked! Very Happy

I have no idea why it worked, the only thing different is that I skipped the Ultimate Fix, since all the stuff are included in Get Together.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions though!
