I have this too

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The error is at game speed 3

What do you expect to see? Sims should make the interactions without standing still as time passes and game speed 3 should run normally without stopping the game and the Sims
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

I have been having a problem in my game for some time, when I put my Sims to do something and I change the speed of the game to 3, my Sims no doing anything, but the time continues to run normally, and when I come back for speed 1, time goes back a little in time. For example, if it's 8 hours and I put my Sim to do something and I change to speed 3, my Sim gets stuck and does nothing, while the time keeps running normally, and if I stop at 15 hours for example, and I go back for speed 1, the clock returns to 13 hours for example, and my Sim continues to stay in the same place, that is, I lose a lot of time in my game, the days go by fast, and my Sim can not do anything practically. Did you understand the problem I'm having in my game? Please help me get this to the producers and get them to solve this in the next update. Thank you!

I've had this issue ever since I started playing The Sims 4. I had it on my old laptop (which has an AMD A8 processor (2.00 GHz) with AMD Radeon R5 graphics and 12 GB RAM), a lower-end laptop that's not at all suited for gaming. Therefore, I always figured it was just my laptop being laggy. But I recently bought myself a gaming laptop with an Intel Core i5 7300-HQ processor, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card and 8 GB RAM, and while the game itself is smooth and never lags, I still have the time issue. I should note that it's significantly less bothersome on this laptop (time will go back an hour at the most while on the older one it'd jump back like 5 hours at night when switching from ultra speed to normal), but still: I had hoped the issue would be fixed by playing on a better laptop. Again, this gaming laptop can handle the game with ease (there is no lag whatsoever and graphics are on ultra). I have no mods or CC or anything installed and though I transferred saves from my old laptop to the new one I also started a new game where the same issue occurs.

The game clock should no longer skip forward and back when changing from 3x or ultra speeds back to speed 1.

• The game clock will also no longer flutter, skitter, or scamper, dance, prance, carom, cavort, canter, or run… no, it will run.
