It's not happening often, but a few times now I've had Sims just walk through walls as if they are not even there. Never saw it in my game, like...ever...until after the update yesterday (which I applied early this morning).
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this too or if maybe my game is borked and I should run a repair.

But I'm seeing something completely new, where a sim just routes as if the wall isn't there at all. It's not happening near a doorway or anything, they just are picking a route that goes right through a wall.
I've only seen it 3 times so far. So it's not the norm, but it's still jarring. I had one instance where a Sim heading to the back yard at my direction just got up and walked through the back wall of the house. The door is on the front with a secondary door on the side...they didn't even head in either of those directions.
And it's not confined to just that one lot, because both of the other times have been other lots. Once at University in the Foxbury commons and another time in Glimmerbrook at a retail location I have there.
Edit: Oh, it just occurred to me, the Sim I'm seeing it happen with is a witch, who uses the transportalate spell by default. Maybe the game is showing walking animation, but choosing her routing as if she is going to just transportalate there.

I think the routing is quite buggy right now.

That could be. I had it happen 3 times all in a few hours right after patching, which made me think it could be related to the new patch...but now I haven't seen it happen again since. So it could just be a rare enough occurrence I hadn't noted it before.

Actually, this was added to a patch quite awhile ago because Sims were often getting stuck. So it now has a way that unless they actually are stuck, to keep moving. Honestly, the getting stuck thing a meter or more from an object was much more annoying than clipping through objects or walls.
I remember someone tested this before that. Putting a few of the toddler toy blocks around them could trap the Sim, lol!
I'll second this and add my sims have always walked through walls periodically before and I never used the move objects cheats before. But as more packs have been added over time they are consistently doing it now.
I played yesterday, and my Sims walked directly through the wall, and later on the door. Even though it is kind of funny, I would like it fixed soon.
also i recall having olive specter jump through wall to outside mid aging up before but that was ages ago

I've had this happen a few times recently when sims age up. I guess there's not enough room inside so they jump outside.
Now I'm curious to see if this is a pattern.
That's awesome that the door opened at least. I honestly don't know if the door opened or not when I have seen my Sim do it because they have always walked through walls no where close to the door they should have used, so the door was off camera. Now I'm curious.
It still hasn't happened again, yet, in my game since the 3 times within the same play session that prompted my OP. Very strange.
