Laggy highschool, PS4

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Latest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, most of game packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Can’t
What happens when the bug occurs? When sim goes to highschool, the game becomes EXTREMELY buggy. Can’t unpause, fast forward, basically do anything. If you save game, it works for 1 action (like introducing yourself to someone) and then bugs out again. It’s unplayable. Cannot finish a school day as you have to save game after any action for it to work again for 5 seconds.
What do you expect to see? It actually working
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The highscool year one

An example - you try to pause it, says it’s paused but it’s not. It does pause after a while, then you can’t unpause.

    I have this too 😣 really annoying! It only lags in the high school and pauses for minutes at a time and eventually crashes altogether. 

    I’m considering changing the high school for a simpler one in case the lag is due to the sheer amount of stuff on this lot? I maybe completely barking up the wrong tree though 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    but yeah it’s pretty unplayable in its current state 😔😞😒

    edited to add I’m on ps5 

  • This is happening to me too but on PC, I'm not sure how to fix it I've changed high schools 3 times and they all either lag exactly how you describe or crash when I attempt to follow my teens.

    My game started to lag everywhere, not just at school so l started a new save 😞 I’m convinced it’s linked to social bunny as I’ve not activated it in my new save and fingers crossed it’s ok 🤞🏼🤞🏼

  • having the same issue. it only happens at the school. game will lag for minutes at a time and then it continues but lags again. it doesn’t crash, but it’s very annoying
