@Brd709 Tbh sure, this is without mods (as you say it's your current save with mods) where it still happens at the gym ?
Tried going to the gym without mods and a stayover active and the time worked as normal in a fresh save.
I just took my sim self to the gym in my current save with no mods or cc and time still froze with a stayover active.
And just for clarification, i tried my current save with no mods or cc and no stayover active and time still froze at the gym.
- @Brd709 Can you do these things to narrow it down?
1. Create a new Sims 4 folder, so that it's clean since you last had the bug (drag the folder to your desktop then start the game). Don't put back any saves or mods/CC to start.
2. Create a "New" game. Go to the gym and check how time behaves. Now start a stayover and do the same thing.
3. Now exit and copy your old save over. Start again, opening your old save. DON'T start a stayover; just go to the gym. Then DO start a stayover and go to the gym.
In any of those 4 scenarios, does the bug recur? Having just tried the following steps, i can confirm the time still froze in my current save when i got to step three at exactly 5:07am game time at the gym with no stayover active.
With a stayover active in my current save time froze at 1:42am while at the gym.
In steps 1 and 2 time didn't freeze both times i sent my new sim to the gym.
So, this means it's an issue specific to either that Sim/household, that lot (if it's not a lot the game came with), or the save... which means either it's a remnant of having used a mod previously with that save (not a common issue for mods, and not one I've seen this symptom for, but it could be a mod that's not in wide use) or it's a glitch that somehow developed in this save in spite of mods. Have you tried it with another household in that save?
I haven't tried it with another household, only my sim self's household this has been happening on so far.
I just tried going to the gym as my sim self's neighbour and time still froze in my current save with mods and CC and no stayover active.
@crinrict Then this post (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Game-stuck-in-animation-loop/m-p/12226679#M238830) is also a context, there is also mentioned that happens with the two showers from Discover University and Spa Day? Then you could put them together :D
@T0RN_x @luthienrising @crinrict
By gum i think i've fixed it!
My sim self did indeed gave a shower from Discover University in his master bathroom, i removed this and replaced it with a base game one, sent him to the gym in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs and so far time did not freeze on both gym lots!
@T0RN_x @crinrict @luthienrising
Well almost!
Time didn't freeze for my sim self but i sent his neighbour to the gym in Windenberg and time still froze for the neighbour. I checked the neighbour's house and he doesn't have any showers from Snowy Escape or Discover University.
I sent my sim self to three gyms: Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Windenberg and time didn't freeze for him after removing his shower.
@Brd709 Only those from Spa day and Discover University are supposed to cause this error (at least that's the case for me). I'm avoiding setting up these showers until it's finally fixed. The whole thing started with the January patch in 2023. I am amazed that more and more people have this bug now. ^^
