@nicoleee123Yeah, I'm starting to run into the problem again. At first it was fine, but now it's back to how it was. I even tried a super repair on my game and still no dice.
I really didn't want to give up on this save, but it's starting to look like I might have to start fresh. I'm going to keep this save file in case a fix comes along, but for now I'm going to transfer my all of my sims to a new save and see how it works.
Edit: So even completely wiping my game after reinstalling did nothing. I created all new saves (which took so so long), and the problem followed me. I did notice that the game clock is only 30 minutes behind instead of an hour now, but my sims still don't return from the rabbit hole. It seems like a major lag in the game. My clock will freeze for a moment and then try to catch up. The seconds also go by slower than they should. I'm honestly out of ideas on how to fix this, and it doesn't look like we're getting much help, so...
For now I'm just going to stop playing. I have other games that don't give me as many issues as The Sims. It's time for a hiatus! Hopefully you have more success than I do. Best of luck!
I'm so glad to see I'm not alone here!
I recently uninstalled and reinstalled my game, and things worked fine. Now the problem has started to happen again, and it is particularly bad in San Myshuno, where my current sim household lives.
So... I guess it has something to do with the festivals. Once one of them starts lagging and doesn't finish/disappear, things go downhill. Badly.
Maybe this is something the team should look into. But from my experience, this most likely won't happen. Sadly.
