    @chrxssse_ Create a new save and upload the one from the that game to your library.

    Then download into the other game.

    HI @chrxssse_ 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    hi,

    i'm on the step where i add the options file back in and i found my time freezing again. i'm not sure why it freezes when i try to add the file again. I've also tried to manually re-set my settings but it's still an issue.

    the settings i re-set are the sims 3 camera, inverted vertical camera, and enabling script mods

    @chrxssse_ Do you have anything in your mods folder ? If you don't turn them back on, does it freeze too ?

    there's nothing in my mods folder other than the resource file. 

    i logged on to switch my script mods off and saved and exited the game and then logged on again with mods off

    my sim went to school and the same time freezing happened again.

    @chrxssse_ and if you delete the option.ini again and don't do any changes but let the game create a fresh one, does that make it freeze again too ?

    this is only for the old save. the new save works perfectly fine
