The Sims 4 PS4 - actions and interactions need several time to function.
The Sims 4 PS4
I spent various months building a vampire castle on a 50x50 lot and I have 4 Sims in there. I initially built all the area (4 high floors and 2 high basements full of structures and decorated. When I tried to play it was nearly impossible to
- interact with objects/sims
- switch between Sims
- assign/complete tasks
- use inventory
- other things
Because the game took soo much time Before opening interactions, making task symbols appear, execute those tasks, even doing single actions in the same task. Actions don't freeze in mid air, sims just stay standing for hours (game time) and only after they move on to the next action. Same for switching between Sims. The clock also changes. This made almost impossible to feed properly my vampires that were always starving or to properly communicate.
I tried to remove a massive dose of elements in the basements and things improved a bit but I can't keep removing elements or I'll destroy the purpose of my castle. I even tried to save the castle and the household and import them in a new save but nothing changed. I tried to remove two of the four Sims but nothing so I put them back into my household. I own the vampire pack and various others and I was planning to buy cats & dogs, get together and seasons but I haven't yet since the gameplay is now very very frustrating to control. I couldn't enjoy them and I really fear that with dogs and cats in the house and rain/snow the game would totally block. I also needed to add two or three more Sims. I know I did something big full of life inside but the game allowed me to do it and it's not even that complicated. Some rooms are still quite empty. I really believe in this game and I so much would like to complete my build and play it normally like the other game saves I have with other houses. The Sims 4 is a great and interesting idea and I really fell in love with the possibility of building amazing structures and people/animals. The top is then making them live into what you built. Please, I would like to ask EA to fix this issue and ask to the community if knows some way to fix this problem in the meantime. Finally I want to add that I always used cheats for my build. They are awesome and without them the Sims wouldn't be the same!
P.S. I searched a lot of other topics and found similarities on other platforms but I decided to open a new topic for PS4 with the detailed situation that is happening to me that may differ.
Thanks for reading this.
