First, double-check your antivirus and firewall settings to be sure that TS4_64.exe and Origin.exe are both still on exception lists. Hi This sounds incredibly frustrating! There are a couple of possibilities here.
I've tried switching to 32 bit, emptying the trash on my desktop, restarting my computer, completely shutting down my computer and turning it back on, repairing the game, going offline, etc.Īnd no, I don't use mods and I don't have any custom content. With each attempt I've made to fix the issue, it's gotten worse.
I had two sims hanging out and things just got glitchy and laggy for a second, but then it got a tiny bit better (though still laggy), so I kept playing.
This started randomly, not after a download or anything. Then it takes forever to exit the game, too, until it says Sims 4 is not responding. Their tasks don't drop down and they never start doing them. Time passes in the game, and they're not frozen (they have those subtle movements all video game characters do so you know they're not statues), but they're all stuck. I give another sim some friendly and flirty interactions to do with the visiting sim, and they just stand there in front of each other not doing anything. I give my sims a few tasks - clean up dish, use toilet, go to sleep - and they just stay sitting at the kitchen table. I try to switch to a different sim in the household to control, it doesn't switch over to them for a long time. I click on an item or another sim, and the option bubbles don't pop up for a while. We're talking ten or more minutes just to get to some gameplay. And if I click on a household to play, it takes even longer. It takes a long time to load my saved games after clicking on "Load Game," and it takes a long time to load my saved game once I've selected one. Now even the title is lagging (the opening sequence with the green gem and the Sims 4 letters). Then it takes several minutes of loading just to get to the main menu. When I click on the icon to open the game, it takes a while for anything to happen.
Custom Content or Mods? Never used.ĭid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to play the game again. Sims don't do anything I tell them to do, and when I click on things, it takes forever for the game to act like I did something. Sometimes the game just stops responding. What happens when the bug occurs? It takes forever to load, and everything's in slow-mo. I think it's just happening with my computer. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure if you can. What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Get to Work, Get Famous, Get Together, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Toddler Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff What is your current game version number? 1.54.120.1020 How often does the bug occur?
