I have 5 kids ranging from elementary school to high school. I updated my game yesterday, which was Sunday in Sim time. They all left for school the next morning, so I had the mom and grandma upgrading things around the home and taking care of the toddler. As soon as the kids came home, my entire game froze. I had to shut down my PS4 and restart it. It did this 5 more times, each time rebooting my PS4. I have my game data on an external drive, along with several other games and I tried playing other games that are saved there and had no issues. It’s just the Sims game since the update.

Hi @dietcokebott 

 

Does this issue occur on a specific save file? Have you tried on a new save file?

 

If it just occur in one specific game file, can you please send it our way so we can give it a look?

It was on one game save that I had. I ended up saving my data to a USB and deleting the game and reinstalling all my packs. I moved the save data over and it’s been fine since.
