[WORK IN PROGRESS] Sims take a long while to do interactions


I will not be responding to this thread on a regular basis. as I have all the tips I have compiled on this first post. Please do provide as much info as you can though

Issue

Sims stand around idle for a while while waiting to do the command they were given.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Unsure

Info about the issue

  • Seems to mostly happen when your computer takes a long while to calculate the command.
  • Happens a lot on lower spec computers
  • Happens a lot on trying to fertilize plants or fish with bait if you have tons of plants in your inventory
  • Happens in large houses
  • Happens if you have tons of custom content and mods and a long played save game.

Things you can try

  • Empty out your Sims inventory.
  • Make sure you fulfill the minimum requirements of the game
  • Reduce the amount of mods and cc you use
  • Play in a smaller house with less art pieces and stuff lying around

Information Needed

  • Basic Information about your computer (CPU, Operating System, Amount of RAM, Graphics Card, Hard Drive Space). This is not to blame your computer for the issue but to see what kinds of systems this issue is occurring on)
  • Screenshot of your graphics options
