Sims Stuck In Live Mode

My game is getting stuck in live mode. My sims still move and do stuff but I can't click anything, and I can't save because it won't load. I can't pause, fast forward, click anything. It takes about 30-40 seconds before they get "unstuck". I play on ps4, so no mods or cc. I have every pack except for Journey To Batuu, Crystal Creation, Home Chef Hustle, Fitness and Luxury Party. Is anyone else having this issue on ps4? ETA: I’ve restarted the game when it happens, I’m restarted my ps4, and I’ve even started a new game. Nothing works. I’ve tried the reset sims cheat, that didn’t help either. The game is almost unplayable at this point, because it’s happening every few minutes. I literally cannot click anything or do anything.

    No, unfortunately that’s not it. The game is essentially still playing, even while on pause. I can’t click anything, I can’t control the sims, nothing. They’re still moving/playing even on the menu. I’ve restarted the game, started a new save, and tried the “resetsim” cheat too. Nothing is working. It does it whether it’s in pause, normal, fast forward, etc. I can’t click on anything, but the sims still do stuff. I hope that makes sense lol, thank you for the reply tho! 🙂

    @spacecase451   Hello!  Are you still having this trouble with your game?  If so, you may want to cycle the power to clear out any temporary files and such; sort of like clearing the cache.  Basically, you would shut down the system completely and wait for the light to stop flashing and then disconnect the power source for a couple minutes.  

    If that doesn't help, then you may need to do a complete reinstall. You may also want to move your save files to the cloud or to a thumb drive temporarily and check if a reinstall works for a new save.  Then you could move your saved data back to your PS4.
