Time bug

trashdocka

Very often when i fastforward the sims get stuck and the game freezes but the time still goes on, and when it stops the time goes back to where it was when it started. I cant explain it better. I had this bug since may and i tried to uninstall it and reinstall. Nothing works! It makes the game unplayable and im pretty sad that i cant play now since i havnt found a fix in all this time.

Hello.
Other simmers have been experiencing this issue as well. You may like to add your experiences to this EA bug thread about the issue or click " press me"

Some things that have helped other simmers are:
to go to buy mode and back,
press pause a few times.
switch tabs.
Lower your graphics settings.
Empty the sims personal and household inventories.
Try resetting the sim.
I hope these may help you as well.

I will try this but i dont think i can do these stuff each time it happens it happens every 2-3 irl minutes. I can try lowering the graphics but i have a great computer so i think my computer should be able to run it. I did run it like this before may and i didnt have any problems at all.

I am sorry that you are having these issues.Perhaps also try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Start a new game and test to see if the freezing issues have been fixed. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders, testing after replacing each one to see how the game is working.

You have already tried repairing the game?

trashdocka

yes, i will try a clean installation with only basegame now.

I hope that helps the issue.

it did but i had put in 300+ hours to one sim in my other save file. she had nearly done everything. and now i have to start over

I am sorry that you lost your other save game file.
I am glad that reinstalling just the base game has helped
