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
This is a bug I've experienced for so long. Time will skip and jump back when sped up, usually through sleeping. Also, sims will often stand, not forever, but for a while, not moving when game is sped up, like my processor can't keep up or something. The game seems like it's just slow because of these bugs, like my processor is struggling along, however my pc is brand new and my processor is high end, as well as having no other processes running in the background etc. I've noticed that these two bugs are at their worst for me when playing in penthouses or apartments.
In terms of sims standing still and not doing anything, bare in mind anyone who uses mods, that I found a very extremely version of this issue when I used MC Command Center and altered how time worked. You can make days longer/shorter and this made the response times for sims extremely slow. Removing that alteration in my mc menu fixed that for me when I had that similar bug. However what I addressed above is a different bug that happens cc/mod less for me regardless.
