Re: Time freezing & Resetting
So, I just had another (big) freeze in a different save. A relatively new save, I think I played about two Sim weeks - my Sim's inventory had less than 10 items in it. This save never had a freeze before.
Now I had a good look at what was going on before I forcefully exited the game (I had to, it didn't respond, may have something to do with me trying to exit the game as the freeze was occuring). This time the auto save didn't take, so I can't send in save files.
- My Sim was having a (house) party on her home lot (sandtrap flat in OS).
- There were 10 Sims on my lot, including my own Sim, excluding any Sims roaming the neighbourhood (I know that in a technical sense they are on you lot as well).
- Music was playing from the stereo (two Sims dancing), the tv was switched on (one Sim watching), no one was using the computer at that time, there were some Sims standing by the fridge trying to grab food or a drink.
- There were a lot of empty glasses and several emtpy plates standing around.
- Two of my Sim's moodlets were expiring at that point, one of them expiring would change her mood from (very) playful to happy.
I saved my game prior to the party, so I can go back in and see if it occurs again (although I'm a bit anxious). Next time I will wait for the freeze to pass before I try to exit my game.
It's that I am aware of this bug that I pay much attention to what is happening, as well as not tend to save my game when it has happened (maybe that is just some silly superstition, but I hope I can keep my game free from it - but seem to be heading in the wrong direction, this is the second time this week :/). I'll also try to remember to take a screenshot or make a video next time.
