Hi,

The Sims 4 in game and The Sims 4 menu mucus affecting my gameplay and it’s seriously so annoying that I can’t play The Sims 4 at all.

I love playing The Sims 4, it’s my favourite game to play when I’m calm and it makes me calm and chilled out person. I love playing cottage Living and I’m obsessed with it, but The Sims 4 bugs,glitches and lags need to be addressed and a workaround. Thank you!

Hey there @Miles_Gamer_2020 

Is there a specific issue or bug you're experiencing with the music, or are you just looking for a way to turn the in-game music off? If you're looking to turn the music off, you can head into Game Options, click the Audio tab and reduce the volume of the in-game music there.

When I play my game there are multiple different music pieces playing- game music, loading screen music, base screen music.

I have read through many different forums and nothing seems to be working.

I just had a patch update come through as well.

Any advice?

Hey, so, I encountered a bug on April 26, 2022, at 3:54 PM Eastern Standard Time. I was at 21 Chic Street Apartments with all three apartments filled by Penny Pizzazz (game pre-installed Sim) and two households of my own Sims, consisting of a married couple, and a single young adult woman in the other apartment.

When I switched to Build Mode for a second, music played normally, then when I switched back to Live Mode, the music wouldn’t stop playing. Actually, I’m not sure if it was from the loading screen or from Build Mode, but I think it was from Build Mode. When I went to Manage Worlds to check the name of the apartments, the music continued, overlapping with the standard loading and neighborhood music so it was kind of noisy having two songs playing at once. Kind of funny, but chaotic.

The music was playing at a normal speed, just overlapped, in the neighborhood screen, and then just the build music in the live mode. And the same song, no other song. Just the same song looped, now that I think about it. 

Hopefully you guys will get this bug fixed soon.

I’m on Windows 10, and I can post my specs, if you want. I had just installed the update, so all mods were disabled.

Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K CPU @ 3.30 GHZ (4 Cores)

I'll post all the packs I have installed as well, in case that triggers something.

Get to Work, Spa Day, Get Together, Dine Out, City Living, Vampires, Bowling Night, Parenthood, Cats and Dogs, Jungle Adventure, Laundry Day, Seasons, Strangerville, Discover University, (I'm not sure if this counts, but I had Eco Lifestyle installed for the free trial back a long time ago for one save, and then stopped playing that save and never bought Eco Lifestyle yet)

I'll also post all kits in case that triggers something as well.

Bust the Dust, Country Kitchen, Industrial Loft, Throwback Fit, Carnaval Streetwear.

I was unable to replicate the bug a second time, so no video, but here's the config and save file.

@SimGuruNick 

I'm on Xbox Series S, Game version  1.58.4.2300. I've had this twice in the past week where I've gone from build mode in Henford on Bagley (specifically The Bramblewood). Build mode music has continued playing in live mode. I've gone to Manage Worlds to see if that helps but it got so much worse I had to mute sound as the loading/MW music joined in and tracks played over each other which sounds beyond creepy!

So I restarted my console and because Series S has quick resume it immediately took me back to the same point with the music STILL playing. So at this point my temper goes pop and I yank the plug out of the socket swearing so loudly my cat put his paws over his ears. Started my game again and it had stopped.

It's happened randomly in the past but this is twice in a week so that's concerning.

I've got most packs installed (except for Star Wars, Vampires, Wedding Stories, Bust the Dust and Modern Menswear.)

Possibly coincidentally I've had an issue over the same time period where only one track plays on a loop in build mode. If it's the Realm of Magic or Strangerville one I go out of it and back in again to change the track as I don't like those ones. I also have about 3 or 4 minutes of dead air occasionally and no music plays at all in build mode.
