Stuck on 3x speed

On different save files, my game randomly starts going 3x speed, and I can't stop it, pause or save, so I have to force quit. I started happening after the new update.

    Could you please provide the following information

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    • What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac, Playstation, XBox)

    I have no Mods and I am playing on a Mac. It happens every time they go to sleep, and the game automatically speeds up, and then it gets stuck. It also started happening when they were doing nothing. My sim had a baby, and then the 2 adult sims froze, and the time sped up. I can't click on anything, and I can't save. I just have to quit the game.

    Hi cahayass​ 

    Please follow these steps to test  your game on vanilla game with no mods/cc

    • Create a backup of your save game
    • Move your mods folder to the desktop
    • Delete the following files from your user folder.
      • localthumbcache
      •  Any lastException Files
      • Any LastCrash files.
    • Test your save (you will loose all cc on the save but since you created a backup you can go back to that afterwards) and see if the same error occurs, then report back.

    It does kind of but the first time it happened on a brand new save while the sim was interacting with other sims and I had gone onto x3 speed. The second occasion was on a completely different save and it kept happening when they went to sleep and the game automatically went to 3x speed. I tried to stop it by pressing play but it didn’t work. When I went back on it later it they froze again and it sped up while they were interacting with a baby. So there seems no correlation for when it happens.
