Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? DeutschHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.94.147.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them except paranormal stuff and menswear kitSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into live mode and play a little bit, then pause. You may have to play a little longer and pause a few times to see the bug.What happens when the bug occurs? The Sims are still moving after the game is paused. It may seem at first sight that this bug is fixed, but if you play for a while and pause a few times it will come back.What do you expect to see? Sims to freeze when paused and no movement at all.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. I think the moving after pause bug started after the werewolves patch. Please consider looking into this bug again. It is beyond frustrating, when I pause and try to take a perfect picture of a movement/gesture/look, but the game is still moving and Sims are changing the position of their head, upper body and hands. I am a storyteller by heart and this bug is very annoying and makes my gameplay so much harder. Storytelling is just not that fun anymore as it used to be. ☹️ Thank you for reading and for your work here on Answers HQ. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted title

@MissLjupka Same issue. BUT I will say it *isnt* as bad as before but they need to do more corrections to it

@MissLjupka Yup, it is still happening for me too. It isn't as bad as before HOWEVER I have figured out specifically WHEN it happens now. When sims are talking to each other or are standing near another sim, sometimes as they move their head to look at the other sim and you pause the game, their body and head seem to keep moving. Really hoped that the laundry list fixes would've stopped this!

Thanks to all for posting spec. I don't see anything in common and since it's also console, spec might after all be rather irrelevant. Going to leave this to Maxis to figure out why it's still there and thanks all for the info.

@MissLjupka To me it's just like before, looks creepy when they move their head 😕

What's weird is that I didn't notice it before, maybe it did it before the patch but now it's definitely doing it now. Even though it said it was fixed they still move slowly while it's paused.

[OPEN] Sims keep moving after paused (Patch 1.94)

@MissLjupka Thank you. I don't know if they matter but I never was able to duplicate this so there is some factor that's causing it.

@crinrict Really?! You are so lucky! 😃 Please, could we trade? I take any bug you wanna get rid of in your game in exchange of this pause moving bug, hehe. 😉 Even the big gamechangers with their high end computers had this bug in their videos, and many on the english and german forums had it.

It incredibly amazes how they could of possibly missed this, once or twice after first run it's not perfect but acceptable, now they are moving worse than they have ever been before, don't they ever test their fixes? And here we go again another 20 pages of a good read coming up..
