Hi Laurwick93
Is this for your active Sim only or NPCs too ?
Do you have this issue only on getaways (If so, please add a [AA] tag to your title).
Also what platform are you on ?
I've built a hotel, and I set an artist from already made roles to performe live, but the performer appears right in time and it takes FOREVER to her actually start performing. She talks to other Sims or dance (eventhough I set her just to sing and make music and play instruments) and when she finally starts the schedule moves forward and it's her time to leave. I don't use any mods or even a single cc and I play on pc.
When I am on a get away my sims AND npc sims start to do nothing after a short while. They just stand still, do nothing. Reset them dont help. Then it's over for a few seconds and then they again start to freeze/do nothing. No time left for the activities. I can also see the sims time clock being glitchy. It makes jumps from seconds, jumps back, and stand still

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue — but for me, it happens specifically on custom venues (not getaways in general). It doesn’t occur every time, but quite frequently.
When the bug happens (time/clock stops and Sims freeze), I’ve noticed something odd: if I switch to Build Mode, environmental effects like wind, or falling leaves still continue. Normally, when entering Build Mode during gameplay, everything should freeze — but in this case, it doesn’t.
Sometimes, after a while, there’s also a sudden time jump — for example, the clock skips ahead by about an hour — and then the freezing starts again shortly after.
I’ve tried several things to fix or reset the issue:
The game eventually becomes completely unresponsive, and I have to quit.
For reference:
Everything else runs smoothly, and I don’t have many rentals in my game, though I do play with a lot of households. I’ll test this again with a fresh save and report back.
Hi,
I’ve now tested the same custom venues in a new save file, and so far everything works perfectly — no freezing or time issues at all.
Because of that, I suspect the problem might be related to the size of the save file. My original save is quite large, so that could explain why the issue appears there but not in a fresh game.
I'm noticing during getaways that sims become very delayed when moving through their role activities for each time slot. Most of them on the lot become stuck (or a long a pause) and often times may not move again until the time slot changes to the next main activity. Or they may not move again until your 2 1/2 hours into the current time slot. So when the time slot changes again to a new main activity, they'll stop mid action instead of finishing their current action (i.e. just grabbed a plate food to eat but placed on floor to go use the spin bike because the main activity changed). Sims with more specific roles like chef, housekeeping/staff, entertainer and DJ which tend to do the same activities per time slot, would start about an hour in. The DJ never showed up on time and did not start until it was almost the end of the 3 hour time slot. I did try to adjust the amount of time slots, activities per time slot and number of guests to see if that made a difference, it did not. The custom venue lot I was using was either 50x50 or 50x40 and I was doing 3-4 day getaways. I did notice on a smaller lot I didn't have a problem but only tested it for one day on that one. I also play on PS5.
