Hmm...ah! to infinity

So there's this glitch where an npc will get stuck in a loop, saying "Hmmm, ah! Ha!".
It's really hard to have a conversation with them. They'll start talking but it will cut and the glitch will kick in.
I noticed it's the same sound clip from when they look at their mail, in apartments of City Living. I think it only happen there, in apartments.

Hello
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try deleting the cache files and see if the issue remains

@BlueOvale Not sure what sets this off but I do see this occasionally. What I have done is press the "M" key to go to map view (instead of using the phone to travel) - wait a few seconds in map view then press the "M" key again.
That will return to the same lot. Usually any stuck animations will be gone. You could also chose to travel to another lot if it does not work the first time.

Thank you both!

I tried a repair, and although it did fix the audio loop for a few minutes, it came back after the npc went to check on their mail.
I then tried with going back to the main menu and so far so good. I have little hope it'll stay fixed though.
I haven't tried to go in map mode, but it should be a quicker fix, so I'll try that too the next time it glitches.

I hope that the issue may soon resolve itself. Going to game options and back may also help when the issue occurs.
