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 hour, then for no reason at all your games freezes and all that progress is lost.

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.

the characters freeze, doesn't matter what you doing, when the game chooses to freeze it'll freeze your stuck trying to click through Sim characters & they are all stuck standing or just moving in one spot very fast but can't chose to do anything nor move or switch between characters once you can, switch, it freezers it & freezes again on the new character you choose I notice when you go build & buy mode & back onto live it starts freezing hard than.

I have the same issue. My ps4 keeps shutting down the game. Sometimes the game just freezes and I'm forced to shut it down so I lose game progress again. I've tried clearing cache and all that. There's nothing wrong with my ps4 and I never had these issues with other games. I'm really getting frustrated now. Can you please fix this bug?

I have had the same problem and it's extremely frustrating. I just got my first PS4 and this was the first game I downloaded and I can't play it anymore. I'm already ready to throw this thing out the window right now. ☹️

My game keeps freezing at the same time every morning during the week. My kid is late everyday to school, male character late for work everyday, and because I can’t move to take care of my toddler, she starves, * herself and cries. Then I get told my kid will get taken away. I’ve stopped playing altogether! At this point, I just want my money back for the game and 3 expansion packs. It’s not even enjoyable. Just watching my game freeze as 3 Sim hours roll by and 15 minutes real time MULTIPLE times while I’m playing.

I am so fed up with this stupid malfunctioning game. I have started from scratch not 1 nor 2 but THREE times!!! Not to mention I got some expansions. That’s how much I loved this game but it’s only proven to be a waste of time.

I’m having the same problems. Sometimes my characters will “disappear” all of a sudden (with no way to switch back to them), I’ve had to restart the game about 3 or 4 times (in one session) usually. Now my screen also got frozen while I was saving and I lost everything... AGAIN!!!
My ps4 is also functioning perfectly. None of the other 64 games I own are as buggy and enfuriating as this one.

Sorry I’m venting, it’s not your guys fault, it’s EA’s for being so incompetent. What a waste of time this game is.

Ive had similar problems .I will be in the middle of a game and all of a sudden it just freezes. I have tried waiting it out bit it never catches up. I have tried to hit start when it freezes but to no avail. When it freezes I have to go to the PS home and close the entire program before it becomes operable again.

Mine also freezes. Just after each game. If you see the same map then its a gunner.

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.
