Update 2016-02-22
I'm going to close this thread.
Not because I think its fixed but because it has become an thread of multiple things
There's a new one here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/WORK-IN-PROGRESS-Issues-with-time-Clock/td-p/5095254...
Please use that one.

UPDATE 2015-10.21: Official Statement by SimGuruJanitor
.
UPDATE (by crinrict):
Issue
The game is freezing frequently. While the Sim is frozen, time goes on until it unfreezes and then resets itself to before the freezing occurred. It's most visible if you speed up your time
Steps to reproduce the issue
This issue is very hard to reproduce if you're not affected by it. If you are, you'll see it constantly. Even save games that have the issue, may not have it on a different computer.
Info about the issue
Things you can try
Information Needed
If you have this issue, it would be great if you could provide the following information:
Original Post by @proffzetmedz below
When Im playing sims 4 and make fast speed sometimes its freezing for 7-12 sec. But they clock is still running and when its stop freezing the time is going back again to normal..
I click fastspeed (nr.3) and when its "freezing" my players get stucks and only doing that they do atm, so if they are reading a book, they are reading it all time long until the "freezing" get away. Example.. I click fastspeed 3
clock is 2 PM and my player is pee and then its freezing but the clock is running maybe to 4pm sometimes 5pm (irl secs it is 7-12sec ) and my player is still pee.. I can move everything but i cant do anything with my players, but after 7-12sec the time going back to 2PM and i can play again..
Its happen many times and its really annoying...
Please fix this FAST..

I'm going to close this thread.
Not because I think its fixed but because it has become an thread of multiple things that all need addressing separately.
I have opened this thread a while ago: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Performance-Issues-Compiled-List-of-Threads/m-p/5095... and I would ask everyone that is still plagued by either of those issues, to open their own thread in the general section of the forum.
Please provide the info asked in the appropriate posts in your own thread and I will then add your thread to that list.
It's way easier to keep up with the individual progress this way as these issues probably don't have one cause as such but are a problem of multiple things.
I think it's a better way to get the info that the devs need to address these problems.
Good Luck

Frequently though the game (I've noticed this most often during moodlet expirations and skill level ups) sims will get stuck in a single animation for several in-game hours. The clock will continue to run in the game, and you cannot change the speed of time. You also cannot click on any objects to call up the action menus. After the "processing" finishes (I'm guessing that's what it is), the time will snap back to when the sim got stuck and the time changes can be made again, and action menus begin functioning again.
During one of these freezes, I checked my system performance-- processor was at 47% and memory was at 50%, so it wasn't an issue of a lack of resources. The game has also run very smoothly on my system other than these hiccups, so I do not believe it has to do with my equipment (I've got a core i7 with 24gb of RAM).
Please let me know if any other details are required.

I do think this issue is the same: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/BUG-Time-freezing/td-p/3806607 but not 100% certain so I'll leave it as two threads for now.

I am having this same issue. Only commenting so they know this isn't just 2 people. I have an 8 core processor so its not a lack of resources.

I have the exact same problem.
It's really disappointing, it makes the game unbearable, happens to me every 2 or 3 minutes...
And same as the others, I have got a racing machine as a computer, it's not coming from the PC.
I hope that EA is going to fix the problem soon.

@JeremyPack1973 Merged your thread with an existing bug report. I don't know what's going on but hopefully EA can fix this.
Good Luck
