My game runs fine until i get to where my sims need to sit down , then it freezes for a few minutes regularly until they suddenly sit , This is constant if i take my sims to somewhere like a restaurant where other sims are often sitting down , They go to sit , stand by seat and the whole game freezes a few minutes , then suddenly sit , moments later it again freezes as other sims go to sit
All exp packs , game packs and stuff packs , a very few kit pack , Updated to the latest update , Only CC clothes and hair . Still the same if i remove them and try a vanilla save
Been like this now for a while and no i have no intention of removing some packs and playing without content i have paid for as has been suggested to some
Traced it down to the game freezing for a few minutes each time the game possibly creates another pointless unneeded townie , Playing for a sim week i counted approx 50 odd freezes and when i checked i found the game had created a further 68 townies . This despite i have an absolute load of them already in game 90% of whom i never see more than once or twice .
YorksRob Then I think this belongs in the bug report for the issue. Feel free to add any other info you think is relevant.
Further testing it definitely happens when a sims goes to sit down (yours or a townie) also sims often get stuck by the side of a bed when they get up and have to be reset to get them to move at all . Then moved a few spaces away from the bed before you can set them a task IE go to eat etc
If you play via Steam, try unlinking Steam from the EA App then install all packs directly via the EA App. The issue may have been related to the Steam/EA App connection. It worked for me!
