Possible Bug: Mannequins and Continuation of Time

The issue I've noticed is Sims are becoming mannequins not an actual mannequin, but all they do is stand around and time is going along. I've complained so much about the game lagging and I literally have to go into the world and go back to the same family I was playing, or I have to save and exit. I haven't tried repairing the game yet. Origin wasn't letting me earlier and now I can finally do it.

    This issue has been going on for a while now. I have never figured out why sims just freeze in place while the game clock just continues on. Normally what I do when my sims and the NPC sims are stuck in this situation is that I use the resetsim cheat to get them unstuck. The cheat it's self is as follows "Resetsim sim's first name sim's last name". This normally works in getting the stuck sim unstuck. And repairing game through Origin doesn't seem to fix the issue. At least not for me because I have tried that several times to fix the issue.


    I have tried doing the same exact thing you have done and it's something else from what we can tell about the bug in the game. I'm now repairing the game to see if it will help. Most likely won't help, because you had mentioned it wasn't doing anything for you. I hope they get it fixed soon, or just repair the entire game itself. Look for issues involving of the core problems. Also, I would be so happy if they added more random things and just make it more like sims 2 randomness.

    I believe that it's a core problem my self. Plus I think that it might also be related to the sims to sim interaction. I remember one case in particular where I had one of my sims dining out at that fancy restaurant that came in Dine Out. I think that the restaurant was called Le Chaz or something like that. My sim had just finished eating out there and I was having them go somewhere else. When suddenly an NPC sim decided to talk with my sim about something. And the next thing I know was that all the sims in the restaurant including my sim were frozen in place. While the game clock just continued on like normal.
    Another time that this had happened with one of my sims was at that big central park in Willow Creek. Again another NPC sim wanted to chat with my sim. And again every sim on the lot including my sim was frozen in place while the game clock continued on like normal. This has happened to me several more time in random locations through out the game. And each time it was the same old thing, an NPC sim wanted to chat with my sim. And each time all the sims on the lot would freeze in place while the game clock continued on like normal. And sometimes I was able to get my sim unstuck with the resetsim cheat. And sometimes I would have to closed the game entirely without saving to get them unstuck.


    I think it got worse after I repaired the game, it just became more laggy. I'm about to scream. I am so irritated.

    I had weird lag on my shop with mannequins. Especially bad after visiting build mode. Saving the game seemed to make it run faster again. I know this thread wasn't really about mannequins but for me that's the most noticeable lag I've had lately. It's the lot in Windenburg modern area that used to have a café.


    Are you talking about actual mannequins?


    Yes I came to this thread because the title made me think of the lot with actual mannequins which has lag. So at first I assumed this was about mannequins and later noticed it isn't but I have experienced some bad lag either way. It's weird for me it has been only that lot from what I can remember. Sorry if my post was confusing because I mentioned the mannequins. It's probably a different issue now that I think of because for me the whole game goes really sluggish and it returns normal by saving.
