Any time my sim sleeps or goes to work ultra speed does not work forcing me to sit through speed 2. It either looks like it goes forward and when I press play it goes back to the original time or it freezes on a certain time. Example:time stays at 8:00 but the minutes move until I press play. This happens in houses or apartments. Please help me this bug has made playing not enjoyable and I really want to play with seasons.
Thank you for the reply, yes two cats but I went back to an old save with no pets and the same thing happened. I've deleted all my CC to try to fix this and nothing happened.
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
This thread is helpful. My sims literally have the take forever to do a command glitch and then stand around a while before doing it. It was a thing a while ago but it's back with island living.

Just a reminder that we're always looking for save files for reports of simulation/autonomy/game-clock lag. Please feel free to DM me any time with your saves! The help is always incredibly appreciated, thanks everyone!
When i play the same thing happens to me constantly. i have uninstalled, reinstalled and still happening. i have tried repairing the game and also cleaning up the cache. its making the game really unenjoyable. how many times does this bug have to be reported? and still no fix.
disappointing.
day 3 of having these issues. nothing has changed, still unplayable. I saw origin download something for the game I figured it might have been a patch but guess not idk what it was, but it didn't change a thing. this is ridiculous..☹️
