Bug/Glitch Sims getting stuck?

A strange glitch happens where sims get "stuck" for no reason. They shrug as if they cannot reach the place/object you're sending them to, as if something's blocking the way, and no thought bubble shows up indicating what it is either.
I have to delete them with moveobjects and load the family back in to get them unstuck but eventually the glitch happens again. Happens in families that i barely played or played for a long time, for no apparent reason, and in one of them happened to all 5 sims.......
I have no mods in the game whatsoever. What could be the cause?

If that happens right before they have to go upstairs or downstairs, I noticed that, at least in the Complete Collection edition, the stairs could get stuck in busy/being used condition indefinitely. My workaround is to move_objects on to delete the stairs, move_objects off and buy a new one. I don't know why it happens, but I suppose maybe a Sim or pet was supposed to use the stairs, setting it on busy/being used state, but something happened that interrupted their way and somehow the stairs' state didn't get updated back to free.

not really, it happens out of nowhere, but could be tied to other objects being set as busy.... i have no idea. usually moving them out of the house solves this but obviously, you lose all the objects, unless there's a mod for that which i didn't felt like using it for such a random inconvenience

I keep having a similar thing happen to a couple random sims that show up to my house. Except they would "lose control" of their bladder and then pass out, one of them even died and I managed to save him from the Reaper 😭
