Problem neighbors

[PeachPikaStar]

My problem is as follows:


I'm tired of my neighboring sims dying every 5 minutes, my game almost ran out of neighbors cause they keep dying. At first I thought it was normal since the game is in free play.

So I thought to myself, it must be that the sims are not eating or don't have any money.

So I investigated and found out that my neighboring sims aren't doing anything, they just stand there. I checked the options and everything seems normal, and the story option is set to off.

I tried taking a family to the park and see if they socialize among each other, when I controlled them they were normal, but when I changed families they just stood there not talking or anything, NOTHING. They don't use the swing, don't visit other houses…NOTHING…


I started raising their cooking skills and see if that motivated them to start cooking, so I used a sim and cooked a meal for the family. I switched families, and looked through the window and when she finished cooking she just left the food there. They didn't eat or anything.

2 or 3 days passed, neighbors don't go to work…kids just stay in front of the school but don't go in… and the family I sent to the park is still standing there…

Tried starting a 'new neighbourhood' from scratch? Also, not sure if sims use objects when they're in "low quality mode", AKA not the focused lot if you switch to them directly.
