@PoptartJuniper Hey there, it happens more often if I've travelled or just randomly after a few hours of gameplay. It's usually around the same time each day. It's only once per game session. It happens as a location is loading more than anything else.
@simsplayer818 Is there any noticeable difference in the graphics when this happens?
- @PoptartJuniper No I don't notice anything different at all. Nothing changes. Just the loading screen with the message and then back to my game.
But it does then inevitably crash on save and exit when I close my game down and hour or so later after the message. That may just be a big coincidence though.@simsplayer818 If there's no noticeable difference in graphics, this does not sound like the bug reported. The crashing is a longstanding issue that the QA team has been working on. I've heard less of this issue being reported as time goes on and since the graphics screens started being reported, so I think it may be old saves still affected.

I bought a new Xbox series S on December 23rd hoping the game would play better on a next gen console. Since the day I bought it I've encountered this issue. The game pauses while playing, pops up a screen that says it is currently changing graphic settings so I can continue to play. This happened once or twice when I only owned base game. It is now happening regularly. Thinking the Xbox runs smoother than the PS4 I cashed in my credit card points& bought every pack over vacation. I'm now unable to load a few lots without crashing every time I try.
I'm especially confused because I've deleted every household except those needed for the game to work. Father winter, the vampires, the sages, eco experts, cottage living mayor etc.
I thought the loading screen saying the system is adjusting my graphics was a feature of the Xbox next gen. I didn't realize it could be a sign of bigger problems. I last owned an Xbox in 2009. Frankly I'm pretty upset to have spent so much stashed digital cash on something I answered own on PS4 & PC only to learn it's just as broken on Xbox.
Given how well base game ran i thought that was a good sign. Example, loading a game on my PS4 takes 9 minutes. On Xbox 2½. Fool me once shame on me fool me 3 times and I'm an idiot.
If I can provide video or anything to help track down whatever is happening please tell me how. I'm new to the console & unsure what is helpful or how to access it.
Same issue here (PS4)
- @PoptartJuniper I have PS4 and it is an extreme noticeable difference on texture, very blurry, especially on floors, trees, furniture….basically everything but the Sims themselves. When I move to another Sim, a lot of times the graphics are blurry then as well, before receiving this message. I never had this issue until the past few months. Basically the more packs, the more problems with the game
@midtwilightblue If your graphics are bad after the notice, please use the bug thread. Graphics Lowered after the Adjusting Graphics Notification
