Today I was playing the sims 4 and I had my sim try to interact with the hamster. Thing is that hamster would not stop running on it's wheel (Somehow sent me a postcard lol) and my sim will just stand there and be waiting and other things he would like to go do just stack up and stay that way even when I cross them out (Including whatever I am having want to do with the hamster. It even shows him sleeping when he is still standing there. (Now that is talent.) Also, I think the radio is haunted. I turn it off and it turns back on. Now I did the reset sim thing many times and many times it will happen again. So, I decided to just close out and it got stuck saving so had to do the thing where you stop it from running. I did a repair thing and I think it might be fixed but it late at night and I just to tired to even find out.

I've had 3 hamsters starve to death this past week alone, and I never received the warning message that they were hungry until AFTER they'd died. I've now removed all hamster cages from my houses.

Yup, same here :/ My whole game locks up and I have to go to desktop to exit it. No more rodents for me until it is solved.

If so I don't have any of those. I just stick with what the game gives me. My niece once downloaded some custom things and one day her computer started messing up turned out she download something that had a virus with it.

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

Yep, it happens occasionally, although it has never gotten so bad that my rat died of starvation. At first I thought it was a problem with simulation lag because that sim lives in a San Myshuno apartment, but your sims with small pets aren't all living in apartments, are they?

I also had that bug once. My bubaloo got struck in his cage when he died from old age.
I had to delete the cage from that household and then restart the game to bring my Sims back to normal interacting. Luckily it didn't happen again since.

I have the same issue, as well as sims “freezing” when they’re trying to use the cage. Then when I delete it, I’m not able to click on anything and trying to save is stuck. Super annoying.
