is this part of the patch bugs?my sims keep on freezing, they just stop moving. Usually when I interact with the cat, seems like the cat sort of freezes first. And then they just stop moving, althoug I can tell them to do stuff like my sim needed to go to bed. And he sort of did, just that he doesn't move, but his mood changed to asleep and the energy bar started moving like he was in bed sleeping. I have tried resetsim(for some reason I can't reset all sims at ones so I have to type in the names), and what happens is he just stands there in a star pose. But still not moving. It helped quitting to maine menu and then going back in on the saved game, but the bug is still there.So is this happening for anyone else?

That is usually a sign of bad CC or mods that need an update. But it also may be just a blooper in your game that you may need to do a game repair to fix. I suggest removing your mods and CC - and do a game repair to see if it fixes the problem.If it does then you need to check the CC and mods to make sure all have updated content.

It sounds like you're experiencing the simulation lag bug. It's pretty common and has been around since the game came out. There was a mod that helped reduce it, but it hasn't been updated in a while. I have found that pausing the game for a few seconds and then restarting it helps.

Just an FYI if you use the rodent cages your sims will freeze and the game will most likely crash. There is a bug with the cage.

Sims are freezing a lot more. I usually notice it happening in parks and the sim warping is ridiculous.

So far it's happened only once to me. I couldn't figure out what the plum was going on until I noticed the dog was still kind of moving. I put it on pause and they popped out of it and returned to normal, but yeah I know what you mean. Hopefully this putting game on pause fix keeps working for the next time it happens.

Mine just started moving normally after a while but yeah I hope it doesn't happen often! And that we get a fix for it... Even if I can see they haven't fixed the laser cat toilet thingy yet... the poop doesn't go away unless I sell the thing and get a new one

@catloverplayer Is this a new bug? I've never had that issue before, and I've had a few families with rodents in the past.
