I started a new game last week for a 100 baby challenge and ever since I installed the update a few days ago, all the Sims in the household have had their bladder, hunger and energy needs decay way more quickly than they should do to the extent that the game is unpleasant to play because my Sims are exhausted and hungry every few hours so I can't get anything done. My toddlers will be awake and starving whilst their mother is exhausted so she's not awake to make food for them. I'm now in a vicious circle of my Sims waking up with low needs and only getting a few things done with them before they need to go back to sleep. My toddlers also seem to be taking longer and longer to level up skills.

I have another game with a household with two adults in and needs are working normally in that one, so it seems to be a problems with this save game specifically.

Any help people can give would be really good.

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ? If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    Thanks crinrict. I've PM'd you a link to the save on my OneDrive (hopefully it works, I've never used the share function before).

    @lemonshred I didn't test your save for very long (RL is calling) but while it's exhausting with 3 toddlers and a baby and the mother never gets enough sleep, I don't feel decay is faster than what I'm used to. There's always something ..

    Can you, just for testing, try to play with just one toddler and see if it also feels the same way ? Just create a copy of your save and test on that.
