    Sims will no longer become unresponsive, and the game will no longer freeze in the save menu when multiple ghosts are in the household.

    @Ajah133 same! it was working just fine yesterday, i managed to make a new sim, decorate a whole house, play for a few hours until i had to leave, no issues. today this keeps happening. game crashes constantly, sims are unresponsive or they get stuck in a task (the activity time thing basically won't move despite time in the game passing), no matter what i click if i try to remove the task or get them to do new things, the menu won't pop up, the task won't stop. it's like they're frozen in time. then trying to save does nothing, save screen just gets stuck moving forever too but never saving.

    Im hoping they fix it soon I havent been able to fully enjoy the new pack with the constant crashes. Yesterday it crashed like twice but today it has crashed at least 10 times this needs to be resolved

    yeah ☹️ a similar thing happened when lovestruck came out, but there were way more people with a similar issue so they moved fast getting a fix out. i don't know now. i had no issues yesterday but the game crashed easily like 5 different times today for me until i gave up and didn't open it again.

    Hey all,

    Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.

    If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.

    Thanks!

    I have tried the way you instructed its not allowing me to record the game play or keep it recording before the game crashes, is there any other method or alternative for ps5?
