Why does the game keep freezing on PS4
Why does the game keep freezing? I don't have an issue saving my game on the PS4 I just force myself to save every 10 to 15min so I won't lose progress. Do you know how stressful it is to play for an ...

EA StaffHi @Frisky-Women @Hawkins2013,
Let's make sure there's no corrupted cached data in your console. Please, clear your PlayStation cache:
- Turn off your PlayStation 4 by holding the PlayStation button on your controller and selection 'Turn off'.
- Unplug the power cable from the back of your PlayStation and wait 30 seconds.
- Plug the cable again and turn on your console.
This won't delete your saved game data, so your Sims will be there when you open the game again.
Any changes?

This solution does not work. The game still freezes and crashes consistently. It doesn't matter if you are traveling, staying at home, taking a dump, etc. It crashes if you do not save every 15-20 mins. This is very frustrating. If you have to limit your Sim to certain activities for fear of the game crashing, it just creates a frustrating gaming experience. It's almost like you are playing on an old PC. That's how unstable it feels.
Honestly, these generic solutions by EA are more insulting and frustrating than helpful. There is NOTHING wrong with my PS4. I don't need to clear a data cache, or whatever the heck you are suggesting. This is a problem with the game's programming, and the updates have not helped. Fix this issue soon. I am a long time Sims fan, but I will not be investing ANY money for expansions, etc if the game is not playable and/or stable.

I am not experiencing any of these problems, but I have encountered freezing and actual crashes on occasion that led to me restarting the game.
My biggest pain point at the moment is just the general responsiveness of the game particularly with sims performing actions, waiting or doing.
I would try everything that EA's support team suggests just in case it is an issue with your system caused indirectly or directly by the game during installation or an update. If it was a significant break that has been introduced in the game, then I would expect everyone would have the same problem but this does not seem to be the case.
Although frustrating, I personally have not encountered anything truly game breaking and I suspect over time the stability will increase and lead to a much more smoother player experience.
I am running it on the PS4 also.
- Amen brother!!
I have identical problem Mine also freezes. Just after each game. If you see the same map then its a gunner.
Finally someone says something
I’ve noticed that EA stopped replying and has no plan on fixing the issue. They just had an update that fixed absolutely nothing and here I am trying to play this game (thankfully it was free on PS4 a few months ago, would NEVER have bought this glitchy, broken game that EA could care less about fixing) and it is such a hassle. You fast forward and nothing happens. You let it play and the sim won’t do anything you tell it to do. The sim just stands there like an idiot, not even moving. None of the “fixes” that EA suggested work. Face it, everyone, EA has destroyed a wonderful franchise by charging way too much, adding way too much and charging for those extras. This game is still broken after 4 years and I doubt they will be fixing it soon. I just gave up and deleted it. Completely unplayable.
