Im having an issue with my game currently that is essentially making it unplayable.
My game is updated via steam, and Im currently playing on a steam deck. I have over 300GB of free space and meet the system requirements.
Basically, my game will freeze between 12am and 5am sim time. The clock stops running, but idle animations continue (trees moving, sims moving their head etc). I can click into build mode, but I cannot click any objects. In live mode, I can move the camera. I can move my cursor but clicking anything does nothing.
I have tried removing mods and CC, this does not fix the issue and the problem still occurs in a cc-free game. I have tried verifying game files in steam, deleting the localthumbcache, deleting all homeless sims with MCCC. I also tried moving this family to a new lot which was empty, and it still occurred on a completely empty lot.
I want to just start a new save, but others with this issue note that it happens on all their saves.
What else can I try, is this issue on the Sims teams radar? I've seen a few complaints about it online since the last update.
I’ve been having this exact issue for months and it always inevitably ends up happening even on new saves. This time around, time stops at 9:23am and I’m unable to click anything at all. I’ve tried playing another family, deleting the thumbcache, removing mods but again everything just stops at 9:23am no matter who I’m playing. I’m at a loss and just angry that I can’t play.
ETA 15 days later: started an entirely new modless save, same thing has happened again 24 hours into gameplay. Clock stops at 9:26am and the only thing moving is the shadows, I'm unable to click anything and can only close the game with task manager.
