Game Progressing Though Paused

★★★★ Apprentice

My Sims 4 game keeps advancing while the game is paused. I have done a repair, cleared caches, reinstalled, test w/ and w/o mods, but my game ALWAYS has this problem for the past year where my sims game is paused but I keep getting popups showing game progress is happening, like, Winterfest starting and ending though the game is paused. How can I fix this?

 

In this screenshot you can see I am now starting Winterfest, but my game has been paused for 45 mins I I was supposed to have 5 days before Winterfest started at the time I paused the game.

Could you please move your Mods folder to the desktop, trash the localthumbcache.package file, play for a bit and see if it is still happening.

I've already done this before. It's been happening for nearly a year now.

How about if you move out your whole Sims 4 folder and start a new, clean game? Does it happen in that new game?

Not right away, no, but after I quit and reopen the game it all starts again. Frown

Could you upload a video showing it?
