POV camera and in game time issue.

I'm trying to switch to a different sims POV in my household. The camera will go to the sim i'm trying to play as but it will say i'm still on the sim i started on. The game also will not pause, play, or fast forward in game time when i try to do so. The only way i get it to cooperate is by opening the pause menu. 
It didn't start doing this until the newest patch update. 
It is very aggravating to have to open the pause menu every time i try to do something .
