Thankyou for this thread, I was wondering why I couldn't find the option to post in the Technical Section, my apologies as this is more for The Sims 3. I recently brought a new laptop and am having trouble getting the Sims 3 to play, it keeps freezing and I have to get the laptop to restart to shut the game down as it does not allow me to use Task Manager to force it shut down. I have my dxdiag and device config handy if you can help me. I don't really want to spend tomorrow uninstalling and re-installing every thing if I can avoid it.
Kind Regards

Hello.
Try uninstalling fraps and reinstalling the program and see if that helps.
Edit : I have been reading information about fraps and have found a FAQ section that may explain why the frame rates aren't showing.

It would be good to use the in-game fps on and fps off codes that Dekay has posted in the below post instead, .

Also, I tried to change a sim's clothing, and when I returned to the house, an entire room had rotated diagonally in the middle of the house, making it uninhabitable. It fixed itself after I started my computer, I think.
I am using a downloaded version of the game, and have no mods.
Hello @DeLaNope.
Some of your sims may be at another lot. Try playing one of the Sims that are at the home and see if you can bring the other sims home from where they are.

Are you using fraps to just monitor the fps or to record a video? If you are only using it to look at the fps, you can use the in-game one. Hold Shift + Ctrl + C and then type fps on in the textbox at the top left and hit Enter. Your fps counter will be at the bottom left in blue. You can turn it off by typing fps off.
If you start a new game, it will be a fresh restart so only premades are there originally.
Try repairing your game to fix the lot issue.

Hello @illuminatisimmer .
Was the club gathering taking place during the time when it would normally be your sim's work/school hours? There has been an issue with gatherings when they take place during these hours, including on vacation days when they would be normally working.
Try attending a gathering when it is outside the normal working /school hours of your sim and see if that helps the issue.

Hello @illuminatisimmer . I am sorry that you are having this issue.
Do you have cc/mods in your game? If you do, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if the issue is still there.
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.
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. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" 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.
Also try testing with a new save game and see if the issue occurs in that save game as well.

Hello @bonapple.
Try having your sim eat 3 grilled cheeses in a row one after another , then click on another sim and test to see if the interaction option comes up to talk about grilled cheese.
Check to see that you have selected the grilled cheese aspiration to do in the aspiration panel.
If you have the grilled cheese mod that a simmer made before the patch with the aspiration was released, remove it and see if that helps.
Do you have any other cc/mods in your game? If you do, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if the issue is still there.
If you still have issues after doing this, repauring the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

My issue concerns ghosts. My town is full of them. It is all the Sims that start off in the houses (Bella Goth, Joaquin Le Chien, etc). They are not listed in household management, however. I have checked both the played and unplayed tabs multiple times, and they are not there. I even deleted every single family and sim listed in the household management. I deleted all of the houses in the worlds and replaced them. The ghosts still show up absolutely everywhere. I have 5-8 ghosts anywhere I go in the game. I did repair the game as soon as I saw the families weren't in the management.
Any ideas? It is pretty frustrating as I typically delete the ghosts as soon as the towns start dying off.
Hello @radrobin .
If you use mods, MC Command Center mod has options to " Delete all ghosts" and to " Delete Homeless ghosts"
The link to the mod is

This link thread provides help for the MC Command Center Mod. If you decide to use it and you have questions about the settings, you can post about it there, and there are helpful simmers there that will help you.
