Delays in sims' work hours
I have this issue and I don't use mods or cc. It is now affecting my sims going to university class on time as well. Currently my sim is supposed to start work at 8am and then class at 9.30am and 11a...
@blakkrose That's a great description; thanks for all the detail. I split your posts into their own thread and renamed the thread, to make things easier.
First of all, is the time on your computer set correctly? If you're not sure how accurate it is, you can let it sync with internet time, or de-sync and re-sync it.
There's nothing obvious in your dxdiag that would account for the lag, although there are a few small issues. You do have Windows several update failures, even though your OS build is not so far behind overall. Please manually look for updates: Click the Windows icon in the lower left corner of the screen, select Settings > Updates & Security, and click the button to check for updates. If there are a number of them, you might have to do this a few times to make sure they all run.
When you say you started from scratch, do you mean you tried to play in a clean game folder and got the same result? If you haven't tried this already, please do so now. Remove your entire Sims 4 game folder from Documents\Electronic Arts and launch the game, which will create a clean folder with no content. Don't put anything back in it, just start a new save and mess around a bit to see whether the work hours line up now.
If none of this helps, let us know.
Yes I meant I had taken out all of my saved games and created a new save file with no other save files installed.
I have spent the last 2 days clicking through and installing all updates and it now tells me that my computer is up to date when I ask it to check for updates.
I have also taken off the automatic time adjustment off for 24 hours and then turned it back on to automatic time adjustment and got the clock to sync.
I have tried multiple times after various stages of this process and as well as once it was all done to see if it was making any difference to the glitch, all with a single new save file to test, but unfortunately it has not solved the glitch. It has helped with the loading screens slightly but unfortunately has not taken away the glitch.
I have also repaired my game through origin and made sure that was up to date as well
@blakkrose Sorry for the delay. Please do a clean boot and try to play. Don't open anything besides Origin and Sims 4.
Ok so I followed the instructions on your link and played the sims and that helped. So what do I do now? Do I leave those things that I disabled in the clean boot instructions disabled?
