I've been playing around with the Social Bunny app, and it seems like any of these interactions have a 50/50 shot of just...not loading. It gets stuck in-between screens (see the attached pic) and I can't do anything. I've had to force quit twice now.

SAME. HATE IT.
The Sims TeamHello.

Ugh I’m having the same exact problem, my game is completely frozen in a dark screen because the social bunny thing didn’t load properly, it seems like my only option is to close out of the game and lose so much progress…I’m so mad.
Yes, I got that option as well thank goodness! I actually just spammed a bunch of buttons and it gave me the “save and exit game?” pop up in game. O restarted my laptop after and when I went back in I was able to retrieve my files perfectly fine, and I didn’t have the issue again. However, I am having other issues with social bunny, such as my sim being unable to send flirty messages with other teens but she can only send flirty messages to her parents…yikes. I made a separate discussion post for that!
I’m using my ASUS laptop which has Microsoft Windows, and I have no mods or custom content installed. Previous times my sims game has frozen have been through other phone interactions, such as ordering a delivery.
GUYS I FOUND OUT A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. You *can* save before you close, even after freezing!
If you pop out your gaming window to be a window and not full screen (google how to do this, changes depending on operating system), then you can click the X in the corner and it'll confirm if you want to save and exit! So you don't have to force quit or turn your computer off! ♥
EDIT: It may corrupt your game but you can still right click then repair the game in the EA hub and that should fix it. I wouldn't want to do all of this regularly given the time constraints but I might be desperate enough depending on how long I'd gone since my last save!
on ps 4, when pressing smiley twice in succssesion, on a comment in social bunny, you're stuck on the screen, no way out but to exit the game. saving is possible though.
I'm on PS5 and I can use the social bunny app but after I close it I can't use the pointer to do anything. The only thing I can do is save and exit, and since my Sims appreciation is social teen, I need to be able to use social bunny for her
