    Checking with CM if this should be merged with the existing issue with Sims not doing much on getaways.

  • I have the same problem. I play on xbox and i have done two getaways and both times my sims keep freezing. This can be NPC and mu control sims. It happened so much I ended up coming off as you just cant play the game. Time is moving yet the sims are just stuck. Resetsim also doesnt work. Attached is a screen shot before I left the game. The sim in the brown jacket was the only one that was moving, all the rest were just stuck.

    Woah, thanks for testing and sharing this!

    I think my issue is similar to yours. But, I haven’t tested with a new save file yet.

    My Sims often lag for about 15-60 seconds (real life), just standing around. I usually pause the game and time it with a stopwatch, after about a minute, their activities usually run smoothly. Sometimes, though, I still need to reset a Sim, hit pause again, and wait it out.

    My save file is 87 MB, and yes I do play with lots of households as a rotational player 😔✊

    EA_Solaire please say the line, say the line

    "Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?"

    Sims seem to stand around when you give them a task to do, I've noticed it more during a getaway and it's not just sims in my household standing round, it's the townies doing it aswell 

  • I have a custom venue which is a teen roller-rink place and I assigned two staff and gave them the following three tasks - tend tea/coffee bars and counters (including bubble tea), clean, repair. All they do is either stand around or play on the arcade machines. None of my sims can buy any bubble tea as the counter is permanently left un-manned.
