Sims freezing when certain interactions are queued.
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except JA, Laundry day, My first pet, Toddler stuff, Spooky, Bowling and Cool kitchen.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Do homework on a public lot, report a missing pet, read a book or queue an interaction towards a sim reading a book.
What happens when the bug occurs? All sims loaded into the game continue the animation of their current interactions. The interactions won't end and active sims won't cancel their current. Time flows normally, and I have watched and entire café of sims repeat the same animations for almost an entire sim day.
What do you expect to see? The game to continue as normal.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Once occurred when active sim was multi-tasking sitting on a sofa, watching TV and reporting a missing animal on the phone.
Once occurred when active child sim was queued to do homework on café lot, everything froze before the animation of the child sitting at a table.
Once occurred when child sim was attempting to talk to a sim reading a book at a table in the same café lot.
Will edit this post when I find more occurrences. Workaround is leaving the active lot with Manage worlds and reloading the household.
The install is fresh with all traces of previous installs removed from Documents folder etc.
Bug has been observed before and after the June 19th patch.
