[puzzlezaddict]

@10Rose66  Your issue sounds a bit like this one:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/CURRENT-ISSUE-Game-Freeze-Extended-Loading-Times-Save-Game/m-p...

but I'm not sure it's the same.  Please read the first few posts on page one and let me know whether you think it's the same.  If so, I can merge your post with that thread.

Otherwise, please test a new save in a clean user folder.  Move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything yet; just see whether you have the same issues.  Let me know either way.

Despite the time stopping and my sims not walking their bodies move.

Please read the first few posts on page one, and let me know what you think.  If it's the same issue, I'll merge your posts into that thread.  There's no fix right now, but you can keep an eye on the thread for updates.

Please do test without mods though, just in case it helps.

It sounds the same to me.

It worked for a couple days and ever since the stability patch, it freezes in the same spot - 2:06 pm. I’ve tried repairing the game through origin. I’ve deleted cache. Don’t know what else to do

That's exactly what's happening for me as well!
