@sjr159 Could you test another save if that has the same issue or if it's just a specific one ?

I have tried a couple of other save files and it appears to only be this specific one that is having this issue.

    @sjr159 Would you mind sending me your save ? Instructions in my signature

    EDIT: Looks like there's some major save bloating going on in that save. Also get a last excpetion

    My guess is that cause is the same as the crashes. Do you have lots of RAM ?

    For me it went up to 16  RAM usage and then crashed when trying to save.

    Also when I did manage to save your game it went from 73 MB to 109 MB without doing much.

    I will forward your save to EA.

      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 is your current game version number? 1.68.154.1020
      What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover University, Island living, seasons, cats and dogs, city living, get together, get to work, realm of magic, vampires and moschino
      Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game for about five minutes
      What happens when the bug occurs? The game lags. I can't switch control between my sims or make them do stuff. Pausing the game doesn't work, neither does saving or exiting the game. It get's stuck
      What do you expect to see? I expected the game to not lag and to be able to switch control from one sim to the other. I expect to be able to pause the game time. I also expect to be able to save my game and exit it without having to shut my whole computer down.
      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. I removed my mods, installed the patch re-put my mods (cc clothing) and sentiments didn't seem to work. I removed my mods (again) and repaired my game (from Origins). This problem occured after I started to play with the new patch and the repaired game, whitout my scriptmods installed.

      The game will first start to lag. At first I thought the issue was related to the game speed but I retried with only playing on normal speed and it happened again. 

      What happens is that I cannot change sim or even control the sim I am currently selected on. The option wheels won't come up for objects, other sims or the sim I am on. The sims will either stand still or autonomously start doing things.

      I first tried to save the game and it got stuck, I waited for around 10 minutes (it usually takes me less than 1) and decided to open task manager on my PC, which didn't work. I just couldn't see the task manager window only my game stuck on saving. I then closed my PC.

      I tried to play again after rebooting my PC, I played for 5 minutes and the same thing happened again even on normal speed this time. I tried to pause and it wouldn't, it only did once I pressed esc. Then I tried to just close the game all together and it got stuck again. I waited for, again, around 10 minutes with the game freezed before closing my PC again. 

      I didn't change anything on my PC or to the game since the update and I had my mods out and my game repaired once it occured.

        I updated my game with the patch after having problems with my game freezing and it is still doing the same thing. I go to play and the time gets to 4:53pm on Thursday and will freeze right there. It will not budge. I have to turn the power off in order to shut down my PC and get it to work again. If I try again, it will do the same exact thing and freeze at the same exact time, no matter what Sim or what family or what world I am playing in. This has just gotten really frustrating now. It has taken me awhile to figure out where to try to find out any answers and I have repaired my game several times in Origin and restarted my computer and it still does the exact same thing. It is getting very frustrating and I am trying not to lose faith in the game because I love it so much. I am about to give up and I just purchased Snowy Escape, so I am hoping that I did not just throw $43 out the window. That is a lot of money these days. I am just very frustrated this evening after trying all day today trying to get the game to work. Very disappointed.
