I COME AGAIN IN THE FORUM TO POST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!
Every day more The Sims 4 disappoints me. Today there was an update where the producers should have fixed a PROBLEM that is affecting a lot of The Sims 4 players. GAME FREEZING WHEN CHILDREN AND TEENS GO TO SCHOOL. How long will players have to keep this bug? I stopped playing The Sims 4 in early May because of this problem that simply totally interferes with the game's gameplay.
UNTIL THAT PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED, I WILL NOT BUY THE STUFF PACK FITNESS AND FUTURE PACKAGES OF THE GAME.

Also I was hoping for a fix for all the crazy clothes that my townies keep showing up in. And for a detective career fix. The problem with the detective career, not being able to find the suspect/suspect doesn't match the clues, was first reported on EA HQ back in April of 2015. I don't think we will ever see a fix for that one.
ETA I can't forget the one where sims keep canceling actions all on their own. That one is causing me ALOT of headache.
I know how frustrating bugs in this game that cause freezing and crashing can get to the breaking point for some of us. However, I don't have this problem, so it may be taking more time to run down exactly what happens right before or after or what combination of things causes this when your Sim kids go to school. I have never experienced this but plenty of freezing and crashing in other areas to the point I can't play too often or for very long.
Currently they are trying to figure it out and I think that one of the gurus has come to the conclusion that if you have a lot of stuff in their personal inventories, it can cause problems like that. Since I have had this bug and heard about this, I decided to try it and it works. It's still a bit frustrating cause when they are in the midst of something when it's time to leave for school, they won't drop the action right away. You have to wait a bit and then they are running late to school. But the good thing about this is that the game doesn't fault the sim for being late.......no consequences (like a call from the principle). Main thing to take away is that they no longer freeze in place, just have problems stopping the activity prior to leaving. I'll take that problem over the freezing any day.

I believe the suspects bug has already been fixed several times and the career worked quite well in 2016. The ultimate disaster came with the toddler patch.
EA obviously do not care anymore

Of course they have an obligation, but patience is also a virtue. It takes time to figure it out and fix it. Also, no one told you that you couldn't post about it.

P.S. I also get a lot of lag and mini freezes if I take my Sims to some clubs in some worlds so I tend to keep them entertaining at home. I'd love to be able to take them out more & will if the freezes get fixed.
I said that until the producers do not correct this problem, I will continue to publish here in the forum. Really patience is a virtue, but I've been dealing with this problem since January, it was already for the producers to have identified and corrected for a long time.
It's being quite annoying indeed, but some are having this problem and some are not. It's a bug that interferes with the gameplay, because every morning at 8:00 am the time the kids / teens go to school the Sims and the game freeze. I have been with this bug since January, but for some months now the problem has gotten worse. I had to start a new game with a new family without children and teenagers.
That's awful. Maybe it's because I don't have any of the new packs. Hope it gets sorted for you.
Don't know why you are arguing....I said you had a right to write posts about it and a right to how you feel. And again, I re-iterate......you never know what the development team is dealing with. Maybe they are working on it and just haven't found a fix yet cause it's hard to pinpoint things. They may have known about the issue since then, but we will never know what they are dealing with, what the work load is, etc. There's a lot tied to it.

If it helps any... I have a huge house with a massive inventory (legacy family - generation 9) and I have never had this issue. Mind you I don't currently have any children going to school in the household. How long ago did this start happening? Which update or patch? I did have children up in the household before the latest patch and Parenting pack.
It's been happening to the OP since January........as for me, it came with the toddler update (I think). First I had this same problem every time the child went to school after they were old enough to go to school. When I heard about the gurus talking about how the inventories would create lag in the game? I tried not having my inventories so big. The lag got better and the freezing stopped when 8am came around and it was time for them to go to school. Only thing remained was that, if they are doing anything? The action will take a while to stop prior to their going to school and often it makes them late. That's how it works with my game. How it works with the OP's game on the other hand, might be different. This is exactly my point when I say that even if its a well known issue? Its hard to pinpoint. Some have the bug, some don't.......some may only have it until they get stuff out of their inventories......some may do that and still have the issue. Its because of that that its hard finding a fix-for-all with all the variables that they deal with.
ETA: It WOULD be nice to see a guru talk about their processes in how they deal with bugs and glitches for once. I know they let us know about how they are on their way to trying to solve the issues, but it'd be best if they tell us......in non-technical easy to understand language why its taking as long as it does. I just imagine that, with anything that has a great number of variables that they deal with, it just takes time. Especially where EA is concerned cause sims is not the only game that this company keeps tabs on.

Since some are having this issue and some not, could it have something to do with your computer specs? The more you add to this game the more demanding the game becomes. This game does require a mid range gaming desktop . Laptops are weaker than desktop. You need a higher end gaming laptop to equal the requirements this game has for desktop. Since I help in tech, we have seen allot of lower end computer not be able to keep up with all the games add ons. People struggling to run the game. Without knowing ones computer specs would be hard to say if this is a bug only effecting some or it's your computer specs that is the problem. Also are you playing with mods or CC? Some can cause game issues.
Someone in this thread mentioned inventory. Yes the game will become more sluggish if you keep high inventory. This happens in both the sims 3 and 4
I posted here about time I'll repeat http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/919973/when-are-they-going-to-start-fixing-stuff#latest
I think what's annoying me the most is time every 2 minutes it jumps back or if I pause I get this annoying crap were no matter what time setting I go on the game remains paused for up to 5 minutes I wouldn't mind it but it's happening every 2-5 minutes.
Arguing? I'm not arguing.
The stuff I had put in bold would prove otherwise. If you weren't arguing right now....there would be no use to reiterate over and over again to me how you "will continue to publish here in this forum". This after I had said.....repeatedly.....that you had every right to publish what you like. Also, there would never be any use for the "! " punctuation really. But whatever.

I always put it that way, but at no point was I arguing.
Your supposed to keep both sim inventory and family inventory low. This is with both the sims 3 and 4. It bloats the games
