When moving from the Ultra Speed button to paused, sims keep moving slowly for 2-3 seconds after the game has paused. Doesn't appear to cause any other issues but looks creepy and spooked me a bit when I noticed it. I am playing in the newest update with the pronouns.

Sims will no longer break the space-time continuum by moving when the game is paused.

Fixed in Patch 1.94.147/1.68

If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

@Phoenixvatoreii Sounds like a bit of a lag issue.

What platform are you playing on ? Do you have other lag issues ?

@Phoenixvatoreii same here, but it seems to happen even after pausing from normal speed.. really disturbing tbh lol

Take a look at the Sim's animation carefully https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qzHVIKVfk4

@mrz428 What Mac Model/OS do you have ?

@LECBMCCC I merged your post with another thread on this. Do they stop moving if you keep the game paused longer like for OP ?

The bug template is currently broken but it helps if you answer the questions anyways.

I noticed this issue after the latest patch too. It looks incredibly creepy! I thought that they reminded me of those creepy ventriloquist puppets when they did it.

I'm on PC/English.

I noticed it when watching my sims having a conversation. I think it was initially ultra speed but when I slowed it down to take another look at it, it happened on normal speed too. I tried it several times at different speeds, it happened every time.

I have all packs except for Wedding Stories, no kits except for Country Kitchen.

Only noticed this happening after the patch and had my mods out.

I had actually captured video of it for bug reporting purposes, but noticed I had my mic on and my cat is meowing loudly in the background, so I'll have to capture it again when it happens and make sure the mic is off next time.
