Sandbox Players of the TS4, Does This Bother 'You'?

Comments
Man. I'm such a tard. I'm watching this on one screen and my game is paused on the other. I kept wondering why my sims were talking when it was paused, only to realize a while later, it was the video.
This was a glitch with the lot. The player had added something to the lot that had somehow "corrupted" it for want of a better word so ANY sim on that lot essentially stood around doing nothing. I imported the Avengers into the game, placed them on that log and had pretty much the same issues. The player pulled the lot back in unfurnished and then slowly added things until she figured out what it was, I think.
I'm not a psychopath. I'm a high-functioning psychopath. Reaper
But please let them use real people instead of blocks lol.
(really, this franchise could do with a wind of change; not to replace The Sims, but brotherly side by side)
But if this is happening and you have not changed the free will settings, you may need to repair your game? This usually clears up any new issues you run into--but always make sure that (if you have any) you move the content from the Mods folder OUT of the Sims 4 folder before you click on Repair in your Origin. After that (if you had any mods) don't add any mods or cc, just go and test if the problem persists. If you had no mods or cc, of course, just jump in and check how it runs.
But I must say that, as a sandbox player, there's a whole lot more about Sims 4 that bothers me. I'm pretty sure they're mostly the same things that bother you.

I would be on that game like a tramp on a sandwich!
I have free will on, no mods and I have the game installed on three different computers..(it's installed from the disc on the computer I use the most and downloaded from my games on Origin on the other two)....and I have Sims standing around or not doing anything more than TS3 Sims did when they were at home.
When I placed a new family in a home in TS3 they would do this assortment of things....head for the TV or computer, head for the bookcase, turn on the stereo to do exercises, get the "check out new object moodlet and sometimes just go to the window to stare out.
When I place a new family in TS4 most often they stand around on the sidewalk quite a while before they even go into the house. Once inside they will head for the TV or computer, drop down for push ups, grab a book or just gather some where to "chat". There is no real interaction and quite often they just stand around.
From the way they were hyped I fully expected them to have some improvement in their interactions and to do more things autonomously.
Thank you, because it does happen and glad I'm not the only who witnesses this.
It's an old game or at least the old Microsoft game plays somewhat the same way.
ETA: No I have no mods and no cc. And not all Sims do that, only a few and seems to be the same Sims in the same households. Not sure what's wrong with them, but the do take long breaks and just stand. And as I said it only happens in larger households that may offer more fun objects so they don't really have much else to try to do. And it's not all of them. One is smarter and takes care of his needs in order..go figure he is my Doctor Who..lol...the others not so smart they play when fun is full instead of going to the bathroom etc. And two or three of the females as I have already stated just stand for long time periods. They do whatever, then they just stand. It can drive a player to want to zap them not understanding why they are just standing for several Sim minutes. Not frozen still breathing and just smiling.
