Forum Discussion
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every single one except My First Pet and Laundry Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game for 5 minutes
What happens when the bug occurs? Simulation constantly freezes. Sims stand in place for a while even though they were assigned actions.
What do you expect to see? Sims doing actions as they were assigned without the simulation freezing and leaving sims idle.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 06/19/2018 - PC 1.44.77.1020 / Mac 1.44.77.1220
The "issues with time/clock" bug is back with the seasons patch.
Its pretty much this bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Issues-with-time-Clock/m-p/5095254#U5095254
Tried fixes:
• Removed CC
• Started new save file
• Reinstalled the game
• Lowering ingame settings
Do you see time jumps back (especially on speed 3) as well or just freezing ? Do you play in a house or apartment ?
Yes I use speed 3 a lot especially when a sim is raising skills or is at a active career (was playing detective career using a science station and sim just stands there doing nothing then finally gets to using it then freezes after the action has reached 100% and then it just rolls back to like 70%). Right now I'm playing in a brand new save in a house with 1 sim
This is all happening with my game as well. My sims are idle a lot instead of doing what I’ve assigned them to do. I play a lot on speed 3 and the time rolls back when I hit the regular speed button and the percentages do as well like you said, they roll back for everything on my game though; their skills and their needs.
It's extremely bad in my game since I installed Seasons. In addition to everything else already mentioned, my screen minimizes during the glitch and suddenly, I'm looking at my desktop. I am playing on a laptop, not that that really matters much these days. I have no mods or CC enabled.
Could you please fix this ASAP? This is a really nasty glitch that renders the game close to unplayable.
I've been seeing this for quite a while now, and it happens constantly, but especially at 3:20am on speed 3. I've tested this on multiple games.
whenever I play the sims 4, whether it's in a house or apartment, just one sim or a whole family, whenever I'm in speed 3 when my sim is at work or they're asleep the time always jumps back and stays in speed 1 when it still has the time blur on it saying it is still in speed 3. So I have to keep switching from speed 1 to 3 to make it through the whole night fast.
