Game no longer "sleeps" when Xbox does, shuts down instead.

After the 8/19/25 update, my game will no longer "sleep" when the Xbox does. I used to be able to turn on my console and hit "resume" for the Sims, where once in, the last lot I was in or CAS screen is still actively loaded. Now, the only option upon waking up my console is "play," so the game has to reload completely every time. This used to never happen unless the game received a major update every so often, and it'd only be once. My load times are brutal, so now I can't just sit down and play like I used to be able to.

    Thanks for your reply!

    Unfortunately, that didn't resolve the issue. This only started happening after the 8/19 update, so I'm led to believe it is related.

    Hi dejdlziv82rf​ 

    If you're having issues with the quick resume feature, you can try a full power cycle on your console to clear that up.

    If that still doesn't help, you can reach out to Xbox support to look into this further.
