Game gets stuck on the higher time speed

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Xbox Series X
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? 1.78.9.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play the game on one of the higher speeds. It'll happen.
What happens when the bug occurs? My game gets stuck on the higher time speed and won't pause or slow back down. It won't let me click on anything, my character's idle animation keeps going if I try to go into build/buy mode to force it to stop. It won't let me click anything or interact with anything on the lot and if I try to go to manage worlds or to save my game, my game gets stuck on the infinite loading screen.
What do you expect to see? I expect the game to work as intended, no matter the time speed.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This started after I bought and installed the newest pack.

    I play on pc and have the same problem... Very annoying cause I can't really play without saving the game everytime before I use the Higher speed. Hope they fix this soon bacause it happens so many times it is irritating me.

    This happens to me on PC. Everything stops except idle animations, time doesn't move. I can't click or interact with anything, nothing works. I also then get the infinite loading screen upon going to Manage Worlds.

    I have all EPs including Horse Ranch installed.

    Hello All,

    If anyone of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!

    @TheSimsDirect Hi, I don't have this problem anymore, but my game crashes instantly when i try to Do something. This didn't happen in a new save I crated to test it. I have a post about this where i talk about it in more detail. I don't want to start a new save, but i think the one i have played and would like to play is somehow broken.
