Hello,
I am sorry that you are having problems with the time jumping about.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Also, try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game. 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.

Also, start a new save game file, and see if the same thing happens in that save game as well.

Thank you for providing the video. I have passed this on to the QA team to look into. I will reach out via PM if they need any more information!

Perhaps try lowering your graphics settings and see if that helps.

I_M1LOS_I

Graphic setting are already on low.

Are you sure you have enough RAM to run the game properly?

I_M1LOS_I

Hey @Lincourt ! I'm sure! So,i'm ready to give more RAM to The Sims 4... But,i don't know how to do this.

This is an annoying thing that happens to more and more players. Some have been able to fix it by making sure your sims have as little as possible in their inventories (Basically, sell those big stacks of harvestables), and for others it has helped to disable and then reenable script mods in the options, clearing caches etc etc see other things to try here answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/BUG-Time-freezing/td-p/3806607

You should buy a ram memory to install it in your computer. You might want to close any other program that you may have running in the background if you can't afford to upgrade your computer.

Is the time thing happening after a while of playing? or does this happen immediately after you start playing?

I_M1LOS_I

It started after 1.5 update.

But does it start immediately after you open the game? Or some time has to pass before it starts doing it?

I_M1LOS_I

Immediately, as soon as I get into the game and change the speed of time.

I have this exact same issue as well. Pressing the other time speeds, ESC and even pause doesn't resolve the issue. I must go all the way to build mode and wait a moment so that it fixes itself.

I have noticed this issue as well, with my Sims periodically just standing in place (while on 3 speed) for quite a while, and then time jumping back to when I initially started the increased time lapse. It's rather annoying. Will be interested to see if anyone comes up with a solution.

I_M1LOS_I

The Sims Studio supposedly seeing this and trying to solve. -.-

I have the same problem too. So I don't play at high speed now.

I_M1LOS_I

I have problem with 2nd,3rd speed. Watch video.

Lincourt

I suppose you have to wait until the QA team answers again, or until a new patch is released.
