If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair.
Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps

Hello @CatLover924
Having the sims 4 folder on the C drive may be the cause of your issues. You don’t have much free space left on the drive . You only have 28.5 and it is best to have over 50gb free space.
Drive: C:
Free Space: 28.5 GB
Total Space: 237.9 GB
It would be best to move /install the game on the D drive, which has a lot more free space. It would also be best to move your documents folder to the D drive also.
To do that,make a new folder on the D drive where you want to install the game and name the folder.
To change where the sims 4 game is installed , go to Application settings in Origin , and the setting will be under "Installs and Saves " Browse through until you can find the new folder that you have created on the D drive. Set that folder as the place to install the game.
My sims get stuck in place. Just now one of my sims was using the water slide thing with the shark, and he walked to the beginning and froze. all of my other sims in the household still move and interact with each other, but cant interact with him, and he cant move. I have no cc, or mods, but this wasnt an issue until seasons came out. its also happened 2 times previously since the 22nd
This has been happening to me quite often too ever since the seasons patch.......its beyond annoying and seems to be random. Never had this issue so its really frustrating. I am also on a high end gaming rig so it isn't my comp thats the problem. SOmetimes sim freezing can be due to it being to demanding for your comp, but usually it will affect all sims. In my case just like the person above, it is just one sim at a time and its during random things.

1. Whenever my pets enter a room with my Sim, my pets spam my "Scedueled actions" and want to be petted 20 times and will stop eating when this happens also.
2. My Sim always randomly just runs away to the end of the map for no reason.

Not sure if this has already been pointed out, but I've been having an issue whereby my sims make snow angels indoors when it's snowing outside. This is happening on the ground floor of a two storey building ie. there's a ceiling and a roof above the floor where they are snow-angelling.
I haven't noticed any other snow-related activities occurring indoors, only snow-angelling.

Hello
If the issue has recently occurred, you could try recovering an earlier version of your current save game to play that is before the school project was stuck there. To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version
Sometimes stuck items are removed by the game, after a little while, overnight . It can sonetimes take a Sims week for it to disappear.
I just installed Seasons on the 22nd late. Been playing some old families I had in a saved folder away from the game. They were playing fine until today and (well other than some lags which I already read about) and all of a sudden as I'm putting my family to bed I have triplet boys, and when they aged up from baby to child (no toddlers when I started the family) It turned midnight before the 3rd one could age up. Anyway, today the last one and 2nd one changed hair, aspirations and age! What's up?? Anyone else having this issue? I'm going to try and repair my game, but it was really wierd. I have all packs, expansions except Vampires and pet stuff...

I have a jumping problem. before I played I removed my save game folder so started a brand new game. My teen wanted an umbrella stand, so I got one. next I asked her to clear her plate, she walked to the bin outside emptied her plate, next my screen jumped and she was washing the plate, jumped again and she was at the bin, jumped again and she is getting out the shower. No CC or mods.

No CC or mods.
The reaction Something is happening is overwhelming my sims and even NP players. They are reacting to, too many things at once. It is raining, someone is cheating, the thunder is loud,someone walked in on someone, there is a fire. If any of these happen and it is more than just a few at once the sims cannot process it and run out of reaction slots. I had a sim freeze and I reset it and when I did it had 10 different " What is Happening actions going on the screen. I do not have the mod for more actions either. Also they react to things that happened in the house when they are outside or in another room and have to run to were ever the What is happening is happening. They also seem to be reacting to reaction of other sims reacting to whatever has upset them. Then all sims are trying to react and their action queues are getting overwhelmed. This is freezing my game as well as others. This happens with no mods as well. I tested it.

Hello @Julia26
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.
There has been many mods/cc broken by the pre season patch
This is a link to a list of some of the broken/updated mods/cc

If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair.
Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps
