@crinrict  Sorry for inconvenient and thank you for your dedication to our community.

 

It tends to occur the first interaction with cats in the lots. (Not first meet, simply first interaction with known or unknown cats.)

 

If you reset the sim,it won't happen again usually until changing lots.

 

I suspect some kind of behaviors like greeting which are hidden cause this problem. (Because they are hidden, so the player can't cancel.)

Cats those don't need to greet(had interacted previous save, households, or etc) are seemed to be no problem. 

 

 

BTW I think Vampire movements are irrelevant.

 

 

I believe these are the same issue I have:

@zirize Could this be the same too ?

Have to say never had issues in my own game.

@crinrict 

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I'm afraid to say it's a different issue.

 

In my experience, simulation lags can usually be resolved with long pauses but this one can't.

 

Only reseting the sim could be a solution.

 

I take a time to test again. I could narrow down slightly.

 

It seems that very likely Feeding Treat the cat doing something causes this issue.

(First video that I uploaded, the sim is trying to feed treat the kitten playing itself.

Second video, the sim is trying to feed threat the cat about to leave.)

 

I'm not sure other interactions also causes this, though.

 

 

Lastly I want to say I'm really sorry for my incorrect information and poor English.

@zirize Well, the op also says they need to use the cheat to resolve it. The title might be off with simulation lag. I had split it again from the main simulation lag thread.

Especially the second post fits yours, I think

Re: [NEEDS INPUT] [CD] Simulation Lag/ Getting stuck on interacting with Pets

★★★ Newbie

I'm having the same issue in the area of Brindleton Bay's bar. It worsed after installing the University package (I don't know if this can help). The chat didn't help, the solution they gave me is not working. I tried EVERYTHING: cleaning the cash, repairing the app, following chat's instructions, even reinstalling the game. Nothing. Every time I try to interact with the cats, the Sims get stuck, even if you debug them. They totally ignore the orders for the trump cats. Have someone found a solution? It's my favourite package and it's not for free.

It happens for me too, I have all packs installed, newest version, although I havent test with the new version, but this has been in the game for so long. Cats cant be interact with when they have something under their queued interactions, which is almost all the time.

 

I wish when we decide to interact with them, it would be prioritize over the cats wants... since we cant control them...
