Is anyone having this trouble? Involving the hamster and sim mastering sleep standing.

I was having this issue and couldn't figure out what was going on. It seems I had some custom content conflicting with custom traits. I tested all folders (I have mine sorted clothes, hair, furniture etc.) and took traits out and it ran fine. Removing the rodent cage didn't break my game and seems to have stopped the standing queue. (When this was going on my game wouldn't pause or let me switch between characters. Also MCCOMMAND told me something was conflicting all of a sudden when adding clothes and accessories I thought were fine.) I had the traits in well before the new clothes I added, so I guess two were fighting and just one of them needed to be removed. I decided to just remove the traits (was only a few haha).

Not sure if this will work for you but my game is running okay now. Hope it helps! Otherwise I have noooo idea and can only assume it's an EA script error that only few are encountering. Or if it's just triggered by certain mods. Whatever the issue my game seems (only have run it for a few minutes but I can pause and switch characters, no MCCOMMAND notification that a file was broken.) to be going good.

I'm having this bug, both the sims freezing after interacting with the rodent and the game freezing after deleting the cage problem.

On Q&A forums there is a workaround: If a famous sim donates the cage it disappears without causing a freeze. This requires GF and a three star celebrity with a good reputation. I haven't tested this, but maybe it helps somebody.

My own workaround was to move all furniture from the room with the rodent into household inventory, except for the cage. Then delete the room in build mode. Afterwards I put everything back where it was and the game didn't freeze. Obviously this works only if you have very simply furnished rooms that you can quickly re-furnish. (In my case it was an apartment kitchen.)

I'm having the same issue as a lot of you. I haven't even attempted to delete my cage in fear I'll break something.

I've only had TheSims4 for 3 days!

I have however found that also Debugging the cage sometimes fixes things for a bit. If not I just keep debugging my sim but it makes my game crash and lag like crazy after a while.

Hope this gets fixed soon.

I have Cats & Dogs and My First Pet installed on my game and I've disabled all mods but got Custom Content on cos of clothing items and stuff.
