This happens to me so often and for so long that I can barely play the game. This bug makes me never want to play and not buy any other sims games. Mine will be stuck on any action for several sim days. Sometimes if I'm lucky it will only be 1 day and will loop back to before the bug happened. Worse case scenario I have to shut off my computer because it just keeps going and I won't be able to shut down sims.

If you guys could all provide the info asked for in the first post, that would help.
I know you need more info, but what's going on? Why after a year of reports does EA not have enough information to fix this?
I don't know what more I can do for you. When does it start becoming EA's responsibility to run tests and not ours?
Cause as @SimGuruJanitor stated, it's not one issue. it's multiple and it's really really hard to reproduce. I've tried so many save games that supportingly have the issue and it was fine on my machine (I don't have a high-end computer). EA has the same issue with reproducing it, so the more info from multiple people, the easier it is to find the cause (as said, that's multiple and some stuff has already been fixed).
Did you provide the info asked for in the first post already ?
There comes a point in time when I start to wonder whether I'm a customer of EA or an employee. This is a lot of work just to play a game, and I'm not being compensated for any of it. In fact, I've paid lots of money just for the privilege of suffering through this bug.
And yes, I provided the majority of that information. There's a dxdiag of mine posted somewhere, but I'll post it here again along with the Exception files. I also already PM'd you my save folder. Not only that, but this thread has over 300 replies. It's the largest thread that I could find within the first 10 pages of this forum. There's plenty of evidence and information here.
The only thing I'm not going to do is record a video and upload it to YouTube. There's no point. It wouldn't provide any new information, would it? The only thing you would see is when the bug happens or what it looks like, but people have already described that perfectly and uploaded their own videos. Mine would look just the same.
