Sims 4 Lag on PS4
@PoptartJuniper I dont understand the point of sending in saves, this happens whenever I start a brand new game. It's obviously an issue with the game.

@koshion220 Sounds similar to this thread PS5 Sims 4 Freezing Patch 1.39
Do you have a mouse you can plug in to see if it's just the controller not working properly in game?
Idk what the problem was but the game literally wasnt loading at all. Not even going to the screen where it tells you to press x. No loading screen. It was just the screen that looks like the icon you click on from the ps4 menu. Eventually what I did was I ended up moving all my applications off my ps4 into an external except for sims 4 so I have plenty of space for it now, I deleted the user data for the game because that seems like it fixes a lot of other glitches for people, and I also unplugged my console for a minute. The game is working better now, I also moved my family of 5 into a significantly smaller house.
- @koshion220 Okay, I'm glad that worked for you. Sometimes a database rebuild in safe mode helps with some stuck on load screen issues. If your drive was very full though, that also can cause trouble.
My first save on PS4 had a huge house and a huge lot in brindleton bay, and I could barely play them. The stuttering and lag was so bad. I even submitted that save to QA.
I've gone back to that save and moved them to a small house with next to no packs present in the build and all the weird time shifts and lag has disappeared. The micro stuttering is still a thing, even on PS5. Actually, all my builds use very little packs and I avoid the large lots. It is a bummer to use these restrictions but it does help keep the gameplay struggles to a minimum, barring the actual bugs.
I definitely understand the frustration of not being able to load and play your families.
