Starting with the worst: Sims will just stop what theyre doing and stand there. The game isnt frozen, the clock is still ticking. I need to do the "reset sim" cheat often.
My pets are SUPER needy and my queue fills up with needing to pet the dogs while Im eating a meal. Like 3-4 times in a row.
Sims will suddenly just appear elsewhere, almost like the game lagged and didnt animate them moving from one side of the room to the other. They just sorta time warp into a different spot. This has also happened while theyre walking up the stairs. They dont move their legs, they just magically appear on each step until theyre at the top.
Stuck on an eternal loading screen while trying to enter a house. Ive removed the 1 mod I had (a pregnancy length mod that I dont even think was a problem) and it didnt help
Failing to open their umbrellas in the rain, and failing to change into their hot/cold weather clothes when they go outside. Then they change into them when they come inside
Calendar isnt saving pre-planned events like birthday parties, so I need to just schedule them on the day-of
My female dog keeps yowling with hearts like shes in heat, despite being spayed
Water balloons fights consist of two Sims just standing in the yard in their bathing suits, they throw maybe 3-4 water balloons an hour
Sims walk through their beds
Sims are picking random beds to woohoo in - like theyll go woohoo in their sibling's bed instead of their own
Anyone else experiencing this stuff? I have no idea how to get back into the house with the eternal loading screen

Tonight my sim was cleaning up dishes and magically transported himself from the bathroom to the plate in the lounge and then back again.
When my sims are eating, they not only have to get up to pet the dog but also to hug each other several times.
Giving them something to do and then watching them just stand there for ages is very frustrating.
thank you! im shamefully admitting i didnt know there was a Bugs section. lol
Also, have you noticed that you are no longer able to encourage your pets to be nice to other animals? I have two cats and I can encourage them to mate, but not to be friendly with each other.
The spayed dog in heat has been around forever though.
Thats happening to me to and its annoying or I notice they like kind of float but not really to a location.
It depends much on their traits. In one household I have the free spirit cat and the affectionate cat. I often don't even notice that the first one is gone on his little adventure, while the second one is needy all the time. I have Playable Pets mods, so I sometimes check her need's decay and it's super fast on that one bar.
With Seasons I've only played with the family with the lazy cat so far. I wonder if I'm just lucky and I avoided that particular bug, or my cat is just too lazy to demand petting and he'd rather sleep on the new sofa
Grand meal don't trigger for some Sims. In my family of four, despite all four eating the grand feast, only two got the check mark.
Same with Streaking: Two out of four Sims never got the checkmark for Streaking, despite doing it four times. The other two got the checkmark after one time.
Also, the bunny never showed up in Spring. But he popped up in the middle of summer wanting to come in to play games?
Sims are also dropping a lot of queued actions.
Not only that but check the Bug forum to see if the bug has already been reported and post that you're having the same problem. The more people that report the same issue the more likely the developers will look into it.
Also try doing a Google search for the issue. I was having an issue with downloaded lots not showing up. Did a Google search and found the problem could be resolved by simply changing the lot name.
I don't hope that will be fixed; Maxis / EA seems very fond of stupid over-the-top reactions. Remember in Sims 3 where even if you were MARRIED to a Simbot, you always got the "Help! It's a Simbot!" emote at least 5 times a day. Same with the talking toilets in Sims 4.
-When my Sim applies makeup using the vanity table, her makeup disappears after the "powder" step, leaving a bare face
-The automatic cat litter box is unable to be cleaned, even when full. I have to delete the box and buy a new one each time
-Outside decorations show in certain rooms of my house
-Severe wallpaper lag
-Butler stays outside during bad weather
Again, thank you so much for all you do!!!!!!
You may like to post feedback on this AHQ EA thread that refers the issue with the makeup

Hello
A workaround is to try to age up a random NPC and see if that helps.
Going into CAS and back may also help with the issue.

Hello @feetinstockings
Removing the localthumbcache file shouldn’t cause any issues.
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.
Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
If the issues remain, try moving the sims household to another home and test to see if the issue occurs there also.
