[FIXED] [CD] No Ultra Speed While Pets are on lot

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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a pet in the household and make all the Sims go to sleep.
What happens when the bug occurs? If a pet happens to be awake while the Sims are sleeping, then the game will not play on ultra speed.
What do you expect to see? I would expect ultra speed to work while Sims are sleeping even though pets are awake, ESPECIALLY since we cannot control pets.
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. Cats and Dogs

I saw the thread about ultra speed issues in apartments, and it reminded me of a similar issue I've been having. Even if all Sims on the lot are asleep, if even one pet in the house is awake, then the game will not play on ultra speed. I'm not sure if this is by design or not, but it still personally fills really off to me, ESPECIALLY since we cannot control pets.

    Ultra speed is as ultra-fast as it’s supposed to be, even if there’s a stray on the lot


    Fixed in Patch 1.96.365/1.71

  • Good question! The family doesn't have any of their own cats. I'll test and get back to you.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:Mac
    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? I don't play with pets often, so hard for me to judge. This lot/family it happens fairly often
    What is your current game version number? 1.69.59.1220
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have 2 adults and 2 pets in my household. When the adults go to work, the maid arrives, the pets are awake, and it won't ultra speed. 
    What happens when the bug occurs? Both adults go to work, so I try to turbo speed through work. If the pets are awake (the maid is also there) it won't ultra speed through work. Sometimes it says I'm on speed 3, but it slows down and looks like it's on speed 1. I have to change it to a different speed and then change it back to speed 3 for it to work again, but won't turbo speed.  I'm playing in Brindleton Bay, Chateau Frise lot. 
    What do you expect to see? Ultra speed when there are no sims in the household that are awake/actually there. I know that the pets are awake, but I can't interact with them so I don't think they should slow down time.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I can't name exactly when it started, because I don't play with pets that often. Sorry ☹️

    Please describe the patch or change you made: My game is up to date as of 12/16. So Snowy Escape update and the recent patches. 

    I'm not sure if the failure to ultra speed & speed 3 slowing down are the same bug or not. But I only notice the speed 3 slowing down when I'm trying to get it to ultra speed. 

    I also have cat and dog strays in the house.

  • I also have this issue im on the smallest empty lot in brindleton bay, only my sim and a cat (my pet) on the lot no visitors and even when my cat is sleeping i dont get ultra speed.

    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything but Dream Home Decorator, Country Kitchen and Industrial Loft.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Send all controlled Sims to bed on a lot with the cat/dog hangout trait. (or possibly any lot in Brindleton Bay)
    What happens when the bug occurs? When cats or dogs are on the active lot the game does not auto speed up when all controlled sims are asleep. When manually sped up it doesn't go to the usual super fast speed, unless all the animals leave.
    What do you expect to see? Animals not to prevent the time speed up during sleep.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

    There's a chance this only happens with animals you have interacted with since their arrival on your lot. I haven't confirmed though.
