Everytime the game is paused it unpauses itself and goes right to ultra speed.
When I try to put it back to normal speed the game jumps to ultra speed.
How do I fix this issue?

Try to fix the game in Origin
Origin/ My games library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
However, if you have any mods move the mods folder to the desktop and try without it.

I have the same problem. I already tried the "repair game" option and it doesnt work
Hi guys!
I am having issues while playing due to the game speeding all the way up and unpausing itself. I can't even stay in a medium speed. This was after the update was ran. Are there any fixes?
The same thing is happening to me. I tried removing my mods but it seems like its a game issue. This was not occurring before the new patch.
I don’t have mods and it’s still happening to me, too 😞.
@KitnKaboodle @gaiagea and @cnramos94 I've merged your posts into another thread on the same issue.
For everyone, please try repairing the game to see whether it works: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair. If that doesn't help, move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content; your old saves and other content will still be in the old folder you moved. Start a new save to test, and let me know whether the game speed is now working correctly or not.
I'm having the same problem. It was working fine until the notification of the upcoming holiday came up at 10 am. I have moved out my mods folder, cleared the localthumbcache, as well as repaired the game.

I don't play with any mods or custom content.
I noticed the same thing as @brandye04 : I could pause and change speed normally until a holiday notification popped up (in my game, "tomorrow" is a holiday I created called "Pride").
After the holiday notification popped up, I tried to pause and it just went to 3x speed.
I did repair the game, went back in, and I still can't pause. @puzzlezaddict I'm about to try your instructions and will report back.
I’m having the same issue since today’s update. It makes it difficult to keep playing. It’s inconsistent too. It will change on its own, and then a few minutes later it’s fine. I thought it was my 3 key because I use keyboard shortcuts.
