I'm not sure when this started but it's probably one of the most annoying things in my gameplay.
My sims sit down to have meals and if I direct them to have a convo (ask about day, ask about school etc etc) instead of starting the conversation (like they did before) they instead get up and hug each other. After that, it lags for what seems like forever then they sit down (in some other seat) and start talking.
Why should dinner take 4 hours to complete?
Is there a fix for this?
P.s. it also happens while watching TV together. We are not SIMS 4 now, why are little things like this still an issue?
