Happend to me to on two of three parties since tuesday. Not sure what the difference was, why it not happend at the third party. They were all level 40 with big houses, game freezes when starting interactions. 

 

From one party I was even thrown out although I already had completed some interactions.

I've been having this same problem ever since the update! For me its after I complete 1-3 actions at a party, the game then freezes. Doesn't matter if its an object or trying to talk to other sims. It doesn't save the progress I've made either and it's super frustrating having to close the game and re-open it and go back to the party and then have it happen again. It is happening at all parties that I go to.

This has happened to me a few times since the last update as well. When it happened today, I force stopped the app and cleared the cache (which was at 106MB). After that, I was able to join the party and complete a few interactions before it froze again. I went back to force stop the game and clear the cache, and the cache was high again. Maybe the problem has something to do with how the game is caching during a party? In all cases, the houses were large on large lots, with lots of interactions available. Yesterday, I waited about 3-4 hours; when I went back I was able to enter the party and interact normally. Update: After joining a 2nd party and interacting fine with no freezes, I went back to the first party with no problems at all (I even tried to make it freeze by switching sims, etc.). Not sure why that would fix the problem, but I'm guessing that's why I was able to return to a buggy party yesterday... I had chosen a 2nd party to attend.

The game freezing is brand new under 6hrs. First noticed it when visiting a new friends house for the first time, game just froze & after a hard restart everything was fine but now trying to do the daily parties and can’t even complete it because the game freezes so I’m forced to hard close which sets my progress back to zero.

 

Anyone else experincing freezes today?

Thank you all for the reports, we're still looking into this. If the party that freezes is from a friend of yours, can you ask them to post their player ID here for our investigation?

To add to this...

 

was faced with ❌ (missing sims)

And take note note of the above two parties because my game froze in each and when I returned I still had the 2/2 attended today ( though impossible to get three stars since it insta freezes for me on all sims) but after hard resetting I was faced with one party vanishing off the list...

... so I cannot even try to get three stars because the party has vanished off the list, spent ten minutes trying to see if it would show up if I kept searching for parties.

 

The first party was a newish player (could tell because they only had a handful of rooms and hardly any cleared land & was only party lvl2) and their party froze on me after the second or third event action, while the last party, the one that’s vanished, was a lvl40 player who almost hit lvl10 froze instantly, as soon as I arrived, and unlike the first party this freeze froze my whole iPad, I had to shut down the whole thing (power button + ok button) to kick sims mobile off my home screen.

 

I’m only sharing this because there is speculation flying around that it’s lvl10 lvl40 parties that freeze the game the most.

Game freezes at studio party especially when trying actions that involve several Sims. I have to force close the app every time.

I have already tried every trouble shooting suggested by EA help. Nothing helps.

My devices are:

Samsung galaxy note tab S3 with Android 8

Samsung galaxy S7 Edge with Android 8

Hey all, we've just released a new update for the game (Patch notes are here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/The-Sims-Mobile-June-20th-2018-Patch-Notes/td-p/6875137).

As you can see it involves a fix for a party crash, can you let us know how this freezing issue is now in your game?
