Is anyone else experiencing time not going to ultra speed when a Sim is sleeping while a festival is going on?
It's really bothering me! I hate watching my Sim sleep, LOL.

Hello
Try pressing pause when that occurs. Then wait a few seconds then press pause again and see if that helps.
I am sorry that you have this issue. Has it occurred with each time there has been a festival, or just with one festival?
It's happened more than once. I was just curious to see if anyone else had experienced it.
I'm playing right now, so I will try to pay attention during festival time and experiment with attendance.

Thankyou for letting us know what has occurred in your game
This most definitely IS a GAME BUG. They need to fix this. It's been noticed in the Sticky thread for bug issues. We should all be reading that list prior to making new posts - so that you can add your two cents to what is being noticed by EA. People telling you somehow its your fault is bologna. I have read that if you make your sim stay until the festival is completely over - there is less of a chance the festivals will begin overlapping. Again... HUGE bug issue that needs to be addressed. Not all sims are going to be able to stay and party for 8 hours for ONE festival its just not realistic to all the game playing styles of Sims players in general. They need to fix this glitch and hopefully soon. I own all eps/stuffs, no CC and I'm a seasoned Sims player who knows the difference between a game bug and a tech issue.
Hello @Simalleyaile
If the items are still remaining on the lot in your game now, then when a festival is next in that location have your sim attend the festival and remain there completely to the end of the festival . Have him remain there until all the items disappear.
This should help to fix the issue, in that it will clear the items away.
I had this happen to me as well with the Spice and Flea Market Festivals. Staying at the Spice Festival until it ended allowed those items to disappear, but the flea market items are still there. I will try attending to the end of that festival next time it shows up in the city.
Also, in the Uptown district open space area the food stalls and the picnic benches are overlapping each other preventing the stalls from opening. I have tried going to that district and spending around a day there to see if they will change out like the carts do in the neighborhood my Sims live in, but so far they have not.
I have already performed the following troubleshooting. I have removed all my mods, repaired the game, and reset my Sims 4 folder, it hasn't helped. This is also on a save that I started when City Living came out, so it isn't an old save from a previous game.
I am on PC.
I'm having the same issue with the flea market items remaining, and one of the tables is now blocking a food stand so it's inoperable:
I'll try repairing my game and resetting my Sims 4 folder to see if that helps. This is a save I've had going for a while, and I'd hate to give it up because my Sims are well established with several friends (and a few disliked/enemies).

Hello @Rosemow - yes, I read about the 'workaround', so have allowed my sim to stay there until 6 am (they're sleeping in the couches in honeypop place). The romance festivals items disappeared, but the GeekCon items remained, and then the 'normal' everyday street activity began to spawn on top of the other items. A patch will be the only fix for this. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. As always, thanks for trying to help.

Hello
I am sorry that you have had these issues I hope that there will soon be a patch fix also.
Okay, repaired, reset and still having the issue. I'll try keeping my Sim there till midnight just to see if that clears things up -- it's technically not a festival day though so not sure if it will be successful. This really needs to be fixed ASAP -- it's a major bug affecting gameplay.

Hello
I hope that the items are cleared up with your sims staying there. You may though need to wait until another festival spawns there, and wait until that ends.
Also if the items remain there, it may help to move your sims to live in that neighbourhood . The issue is affecting Festival lot areas in different neighbourhoods from where the sims live.
My Sims already live in the neighborhood, so that's not the issue. The issue is that the flea market stuff never cleared out. I'll see if keeping my Sim there all night does it -- I'll cheat needs if I have to.

Wait until the festival that got stuck is in town again, visit it and stay for the whole event. You will then see the stuck objects slowly disappear one after another. That's how I eventually got rid of the romance festival.
My Flea Market festival woes began when my sim from Newcrest went but left when his girlfriend called him to go somewhere else. The Flea Market stuff never went away. Another sim living in the spice district went to the spice festival that was next in line and stayed way after it was over. Most of the stuff went but the bubble machines stayed and so did the Flea Market stuff. I waited for the Flea Market festival to occur a second time, but it skipped. I sent my sim in case, he sold some of his art, but the Flea Market stuff is still there. So I guess another week has to go by?

Hello
I am sorry that you have had this issue When either the Flea Market or the Spice Market next spawn there, have your sim remain at the festival until it completely finishes and wait to see if all the items disappear. The items may all clear the next time one of these festivals are held there and your sim remains right until the end.
Thanks Rosemow. I finally got rid of the Flea Market items by following your suggestion. I still have 2 romance tables stuck that mess with my geekcon. Staying to the end didn't work the first time, but sometimes it takes a couple of tries, but it's tiring. So next time I don't care if Bella Goth calls my skinny sim for a date he's not leaving the festival!

It is good that the Flea Market items have now gone I hope that the romance tables go when the next festival takes place in the Geek Con location.
I'm having the same problem as @BlazingEden. I'm not sure if it's festival related, but it definitely happens if I've befriended a non-household sim and grouped with them. Even after they've left the lot, you can't use ultra speed. I have to restart the game if that happens.

I've tried that. It won't go ultra speed until the festival ends.
I did attend the festival. I wonder if that is the problem?

As another poster said, it is happening in my game when the sims live in a different neighbourhood and travel to the festival. I have no CC or mods.
Thought I should also add, that I had the bb.moveobjects on before travelling to the festival, in case that's at all relevent.

On the third page on this link thread on the AHQ EA site that refers to the issue, SimGuruQARobo is asking for save game files of simmers who have had this occur in their game. It would be good to send your save game files to him

The easiest would probably be that when it happens, check on the backups (or upload those) QA could check how it happens.
