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
This is so frustrating i can't play my game because my sims are constantly freezing and there's nothing i can do about it. Please fix this soon!! 😞
Yeah, this has happened to me for a while. I feel like they made it better a few patches ago. Mine doesn't seem to do it in a fresh game at first, but the longer I play, the worse it gets. I deleted all of my old save files, because I had a lot of them piled up for no reason. I do use some custom clothing, but I'm honestly not getting rid of it... because as literally everyone posted above me, it doesn't matter if you have no CC... this still happens.
I wish they could figure it out and fix it. The game never used to do this in the beginning.
What kind of computers do people have with this issue? High end desktops, laptops? I never actually had this issue until I upgraded my computer to a much better one. Along with getting this bug, came terrible frame rate, which drops to 40 constantly and back up even though my graphics card is a GTX 1070. It's the only game to do this for me, all others are fine. I would get solid 60 and more if uncapped with my old 750ti. I feel like this game doesn't work well with high end specs.
- I think it happens on all of them. I never seen it in my game but seen it on some people's saves.
There have also been reports for console for this actually.Ah, I must be wrong then about this bug being performance based on specs. It's probably not cc or mod made either, if it's on console. Hopefully EA will eventually fix this.
