Since Nov 10 update my game was crashing. I added the -nosound command and it stopped, however then I started getting anew glitch. My gametime would stop during gameplay. When the game time stops my sims just sway in their current position but fire still moves and trees still blow in the wind. I can't click on my sims or do anything. |If i click on build mode, the trees still sway and fire still moves. Once this happens I cant save the game or exit without force closing it. It happens about 10 minutes into gameplay. I have tried reparing and reinstalling the game and I have also tried following Crins advice regarding the father winter bug and this does not seem to be it. I also have a pc and a macbook and this same issue presents on both. I have ried starting a fresh save and this doesn't work either. I dont usually have mods in game but added the mods from Crins post to see if this resolved the issue.
I've been having the exact same problem for a while now too and it started happening after I installed snowy escape, specifically after the latest update. It never happened before so I don't think it has to do with specs.
@SimstopherD I tested your save some more and even after a day, there's no freezing.Did you do anything special when it started for you or just play on the home lot ?
Actually scratch that. I can duplicate it on one of your test saves. Not on the main one though
Thank you 😀 I have removed the stereo and it seems to be helping for now 😀 fingers crossed
@SimstopherD Take good care of Motschi 😉
Poor thing died too many times when testing.
I’m having the same problem!
Me too! It's super annoying, I can't even save my game! Someone please help me.
