@crinrictBoth. I tried with turning Offline mode in Origin, and while I was disconnected from the router.
I even went a step further, uninstalled both and installed the EA App, and reinstalled the game, to no effect either
I also tried to play the game through the EA app as instructed by EA Help on twitter and they, like the mods here, seemed reluctant to admit the update caused the problems, despite linking them this forum showing many others having the same problems. The Sims 4 still does not work on Origin or the EA beta app, offline/connected to the internet or not, with no mods or cc, on a laptop that was running it fine before the update was added.
@crinrict, @puzzlezaddict , @SimQARobo
I had a hunch, so I went and tested something out. I fired up Sims 4, and turned off the Sims Delivery feature. I turned off both the Check Time Ratio (to Never), and turned off the automatic update for the Sim Delivery feature. The freezing was still there, but it was noticeably less.
@crinrict , There was both less lag getting in, and during play. It was still freezing in all areas, Login. Main Menu, CAS, and Evergreen Harbor.
The rate that it froze for me dropped. Last night, it was freezing about every 45 seconds to 1min:30. After turning the Sim Delivery feature off, it went to about every 2 mins, more or less.
