(please, help!) Is this happening in anyone else's game?

I'm having periods where a sim will suddenly teleport into standing. At times, the entire place will reset! I will be in the middle of bar tending, and the next second everyone is standing! This doesn't only happen when I'm interacting with people, but other sims will randomly teleport into standing while reading a book, etc
I'd like to confirm if this is happening in anyone else's game who doesn't have any CC? I'd love to know before I ...return to vanilla Sims 4 or reinstall / do anything else drastic to fix it. Script mods are unchecked, by the way!
Here's an example (after it happened, everyone standing)

It's happening VERY frequently for me, unfortunately. And not just to my sim, but other sims randomly resetting, too (like mixologists! nooo!)
Thank you two, as well! Which refrigerator glitch if you don't mind me asking, by the way?
I used to have this also. I seem to have fixed it and other issues by doing a game reset. I now do this after each patch and it is working great.
You can find the tutorial here: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/
Hope this works for you. Crinrict's site has lots of fixes, tips and tricks for keeping your game playing!
Happy Simming!
> What other bugs are you getting?
Well, right now there's a problem with multitasking as my sims are unable to talk to each other while playing chess, watching TV, etc. I also had to move my household to a new house, because their kitchen just suddenly turned blue, had these weird bright light sources (even though I removed the lamps) and basically looked like aliens were attacking it 24/7. Now, in the new house, I have a magic room that changes wallpaper all by itself, but I'll take that.
I also just a few days back had to repair the game because of the glitch where sims were unable to cook, I'm not appreciating the homeless sims disappearing every night and just overall sims and objects seem to get stuck a lot (debugging seems to do nothing, like ever...?). One time I had a stuck cards table that I couldn't move or sell because the object could not be found, apparently. The next thing I noticed was that saving the game was also out of question, and had to just quit the game.
To me, the cherry on top of the cake was my first save game that just wouldn't load anymore. (Thank God I only invested 36 gameplay hours into it, but still...)
I actually really like this game, I just wish these thing would get fixed so that I could actually enjoy it.
I will say that when I do this I only move my save files back. None of the other stuff is important to my game. Crinrict also has info on deleting cache files in both the game and in Origin if you play online a lot. I don't play online so I feel I have fewer issue for this reason. This is JMHO!
I hope it works for you!
Do you have any custom content? This sounds like so much to be going on with the vanilla game! The first half sounds like it could be graphics issues, but the rest .. i have no idea.
Thanks for posting this, naomeh. I don't go to com lots much but when this starts I know what do to.
Thanks for the link, @Terrylin I'm saving it for later.
Yeah that was pretty devastating, haha... But I guess I could potentially be able to play it again if Maxis fixes the issue with loading households. Now I'm just praying that it doesn't happen to my current save file.
Now that you mentioned it, I do have some CC items and I don't remember the last time I tried playing without them. I should probably try taking them off for a while since I've already tried everything else. Thanks!
Edit: Removed the quote since it was kind of unneccessary.
Have you tried resetting your game? Do you play online? Are your setting higher than they can handle?
Let us know if removing the CC helps.
I can't help with CC or mods mine is a vanilla game. I do know tht playing online gave me issues so I no longer play online, i only go online to look in the gallery and that is not while I am ingame. TS3 taught me that online isn't friendly with the sims game at all. Some can do it but not me for whatever reason. It just takes to many resources I guess.
Hope you find your issue and get it working!

I do play online! I didn't know that could cause issues. The settings are as they were by default so I think they should be fine.
Also, I play with a laptop that definitely isn't meant for gaming, but meets the requirements for this one (and surprisingly does run the game quite well). Maybe that could explain why all of this is happening to me...
Thanks a lot for the tips!
Try offline and see if that helps some. Online requires not only more programs running at the same time but also takes more of your CPU. That is one of the reasons I can't do it is my CPU is low-end only have an i3.
Where your sim can't cook or get anything from the fridge. You can get a quick bite and cook on the grill though. When that happens, I just exit without saving. The repair fix doesn't always work for that one. Sometimes just exiting w/o saving does the trick. A lot of people have this glitch. If you haven't had it, good for you! Maybe you won't get it!
