[FIXED] Game Speed changes on its own
My sims 4 now puts itself on speed 3 on its own. When I change it back to speed 1, 10 seconds later it goes back to speed 3. This is now constant since the update today. HELP

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.
To everyone reading this, SimGuruNick is looking for more information on the issue. In addition to any other details, it would help to know whether there is a maid on the lot at the time, and whether there are any children or teens at school. Here's the relevant tweet:
@puzzlezaddictI tried your suggestion (moving my old Sims 4 folder to the desktop and starting a new game), and I didn't have any trouble pausing or going 3x speed in the new game.
I tried scheduling a holiday for the next day to see if that notification had anything to do with it, but the new game didn't notify me of the holiday as I expected it to.
In my original game where I first noticed the issue, I had ordered a one-time maid to come to the lot, and while the time had passed for them to come (10:05 am), I don't know if the maid had arrived yet. I was too focused on trying to feed my toddlers that were about to be taken away because I couldn't pause the game long enough to get them to pick up some food. I don't want to go back into that save until the issue is fixed because I don't want my toddlers taken away.
It's good to see SimGuruNick is working on this. Is there a way for me to send game logs or anything else that could be helpful?

@puzzlezaddictI also did what you recommended. The new game worked fine. I scheduled a holiday and the notification came in without any problems. I also scheduled a recurring maid and there was no problem with the speed.
In my previous save I had 2 teenagers at school as well as a recurring maid that was probably on the lot at the time.
In my save I had no teenagers or children, all adults, and no holiday notification. However, I did have a maid come.
