Hello @esfire
Another simmer was looking at the game coding and posted in another thread that the phases are meant to last a maximum 3 days. It may be best for you to use a cheat code to remove the trait.

The game is very laggy since the update around 27-5-2017, and crashes a lot. I can barely move the mouse, and nothing loads in the galery anymore. I never had a problem before that particular update. My laptop has enough space, it's fairly new and the Sims 4 is the only game I have. I don't have any other big programs that take up space.
I tried lowering the quality, I have removed ALL my families and houses. Nothing works.
I'm getting really frustrated. I hoped that patches that came afterwards would fix the problem, but alas. I spend a lot of money on the Sims 4 and the fact that I can't play anymore is horrible. :(

There are a few things to do to try to see if they may help with your issues.
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.
Check to make sure that your graphics drivers are up todate
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 save game and see if the issyes remain .
Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder
Try switching between 32 bit mode and 64 bit mode and see if one of the modes helps the lagging issues more than the other
Go to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture.
Click on “Game Properties”. Click on Advanced Launch options.
Change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 32-bit”
Or change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 64-bit”
Try turning off origin in-game and see if that helps. To do that, go,to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture. Click on “Game Properties”. Then untick the box that enables origin in-game
Try playing in off line mode and see if that helps.
Move the screenshots folder to the desktop and see if that may help.
If the issues remain after doing these things, could you please post your DxDiag info here. It will take multiple posts.
To gather a DXDIAG on your computer, do this :
Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
Type dxdiag in the text field
Click OK
Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report
Then copy and paste the information from where you saved it, to here in this thread.
Or you could copy and paste the information to pastebin https://pastebin.com

my alien sim cant use memory erase? i tried raising his mischief level to level 10, tried both in and out of disguise but the option never popped up. his father could do it though. he should be 100% alien he has the other alien interactions

Hello
If your alien sim doesn't have both of his parents as aliens, he won't be able to do that interaction . That would be why the interaction option is not appearing.
@rosemow no his mother is a vampire but every time ive had vampires and aliens have kids they always end up as either full alien or full vampire, ive never had hybrid children between them before so i didnt think they could but i guess i was wrong

@rosemow thank you for the link. i went to check one of my other vampire/alien born aliens and he does have the memory erase option even without having two aliens for parents, im pretty sure all his siblings do as well

Usually the aliens needs to have parents to be aliens. Perhaps it may be different when one of the sims is a vampire.
Hello! I'm new to posting around here.. I've had several issues with the parenthood expansion pack that just doesn't seem to go away. I've tried to repair the game, remove mods, etc etc and nothing! The chance cards won't let me click on the options or go away and I'm forced to quit my game and restart each time. This just started happening.
I also have empty and sometimes erratic character values. Everything seems to be a glitch! How can I fix this without getting rid of the pack?

With your other issues, 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.

Test the game between placing back each folder.
Hi, how do I get rid of a baking tray stuck on the floor? I moved my stove into inventory to move, and when I placed the tray, thinking my sim would pick it up like a cutting board, she went to the oven and complained it wasn't there. I tried moveobjects on, but it won't let me grab it.

Hello @Galadrax
Try building a small room around the baking tray. Then delete the small room. Then see if that helps the issue.
when i click Build mode, there's none of the furniture inside. Building buttons also not function......
i'm using laptop with Microsoft windows 10 for the game and it i played the game for years which was cool. I recently didn't open my laptop for 2 months. And when I opened it yeaterday, I found the game don't let me quit even I press many times. What more was It let me play my old save and i can moved the household around, yet no matter new or old save, build mode still not function.
i tried to cut the sims 4 file in Document on desktop, and restart the game, nothing has been changed.
if there anything i can do to get rid of this situation?
sad that i cannot post pic here, but just imagine the page where should have all funiture or wall paper to choose from now go blank :(

If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair
My game has had no issues that haven't been fixed with a later patch except for one, the color and intensity of lights can never be set. I can click on the button to do it, but then nothing happens after that.
