Once the game freezes, elements of the game will continue. The shower will keep running, snow will keep falling, rain will keep falling, sleeping sims will continue sleeping with moving Z’s above their heads, but the time freezes and I can’t interact with anything. I am unable to save and I have to close the game. In one save file, I can’t get past 3:05 A.M. in game time, doesn’t matter if I play for 1 minutes in 3x speed or 5 minutes with pauses and normal speed.
