Severe lag after 1 hour of gameplay : requires restart

I'm having the same issue. The longer I play, the laggier it gets usually after 1 hour and I have to re-start, I did notice that my RAM usage increases over time as if it had memory leaks. 

My PC setup:

• Intel Core i5-13600KF
•  32 GB DDR4 RAM
• NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti 
•  Game installed on SSD

Hopefully this gets fixed in the next update.

When I come out of build/buy mode the game freezes. I can't change the clock speed and I cant select another sim. I can pan the camera around just fine and get into the pause menu too. Its just gameplay that's affected.  I cant click anything. After about 20-30 seconds the game catches up with itself and anything I clicked when it was frozen suddenly happens. 

Sometimes this also happens in live mode (usually if the time was x3). What ever idle animation sims were doing loops over and over, time lighting such as the sun and shadows continues to progress and trees continue to sway. The clock remains frozen and again anything I click doesn't respond. Also the outlines that appear around sims and objects that usually appears when the cursor hovers about them doesn't show up. 

Once again, the game eventually catches up with itself, and a interestingly the lighting jumps back to how it was when the game froze (morning for example)

I tried removing any mods, repairing the game through the EA app, even did a clean reinstall and didn't add back any mods, but the problem persisted. My graphics drivers are up to date and I play on a windows pc that is very capable so its not a hardware limitation.

This is a recent issue. Video attached, Sorry for low resolution!

While this issue has been around for a while after playing for several hours, since yesterday's patch it starts as soon as I load into a save. I keep having to pause the game for several minutes, every few minutes, for sims to "catch up" with whatever I queued them to do, or they will just stand there for literal sim hours doing nothing but idling, with the queued task just hanging there at the top, not started. This, combined with the general lag, makes playing the game increasingly frustrating.

Bonjour,

je suis les sims sur play 4 et je trouve que le jeu n’est pas fluide dès le départ. Au bout d’une 1h c’est encore pire. Pour exemple hier j’utilisais la pipette pour copier les items j’avais entre 7 et 10 secondes d’attente pour obtenir la copie. 
Pourrie vous également réduire les temps de chargement pour entrer en partie ou changer de terrain. 
S’il vous plaît faites quelque chose même sur play 🙏🏻

merci à vous
