keyboard shortcuts for time speed (0,1,2,3) aren't working anymore

i'm not sure if its a bug or something but I play sims 4 on my Mac all the time and just recently I opened my game and the keyboard shortcuts for the game speed stopped working. I tired looking around and seeing if other people have had this problem and a lot of them are outdated (2014-2015) but I've tried pressing esc and restarting the game and none of it is working. I haven't tried to reset the game completely yet but I don't want my saves to be deleted if I do so. has anyone else had this problem (specifically on Mac computers)? if so, what worked for you

    I have the same problem after the festive patch, and still does not work after 21st dec patch ethier. 

    I found some player said because of UI Mod, but it still doesn't work without UI either.

    Hi @adari91 and @e000648a4e8baa62

    make sure you also delete your localthumbcache file after removing the UI mod.

    Also try repairing your game through Origin (right-click on the game)

  • that didn't work for me. I took all my mods out, deleted that file, and repaired the game and it still isn't working ☹️

     Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin again.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    It could be because the UI Mod is out of date. I just updated to the most recent update for the UI Mod and it seems to be working fine
