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?
