Re: Sims 4 Pause/Play/3x Speed reoccurring issue
@Amberxzortop As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder. Move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add anything to this folder yet; just see whether the same problem happens in a new save.
If the new save is fine, you can try copying your existing save to the new Sims 4 folder. Saves are in the saves folder, unsurprisingly.
If you see the same issue in the new save, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
