I bought this game yesterday and logged about 5 hours and 15 in-game days before this issue started out of nowhere. The first few times it happened, I was attempting to move items into the shipping container and after about the fourth, the screen froze. Music continue, but everything else froze.

Hi,I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Advisor and Office Insider for Android. I am here to work with you on this problem.aCheck if you have overclocked processor.

( It may lead to high cpu usage, residual settings from CPU overclocking can cause freeze ).Also check for Dual channel RAM modules,they should be in same Speed to handle load.Open the Start menu on your computerType cmd in the Start menu search box.Click Command Prompt.or Start + R to open Run command cmdType wmic memorychip get speed(or copy this and paste there)Press ↵ Enter on your keyboard.Allocate more virtual memory:Kindly follow these steps to fix disk usage:Do let me know if you require any further help on this. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.Standard Disclaimer: There are links to non-Microsoft websites. The pages appear to be providing accurate, safe information with reference.

Hi Mai,It's random. It's happened twice today. I'll play, and have every 10 to 15min. If I'm really at a point where I don't want to stop and save and 20 or 30min go by, when I finally decide to save it freezes in save more and I have to close the application. It's like saving it every 10 to 15min is what keeps it from freezing. My PS4 has 400GB and I have like 276GB left so it's not a storage issue. It had also happen a few times when I try to save right after going from build mode to live mode.

My goal is to save all the changes I just made because I know the game is going to freeze and it still freezes causing me to lose everything I just did in build more. So my game freezes if I go to long without saving while playing and sometimes right after I come out of build mode. This solution does not work. The game still freezes and crashes consistently.

It doesn't matter if you are traveling, staying at home, taking a dump, etc. It crashes if you do not save every 15-20 mins. This is very frustrating. If you have to limit your Sim to certain activities for fear of the game crashing, it just creates a frustrating gaming experience.

It's almost like you are playing on an old PC. That's how unstable it feels.Honestly, these generic solutions by EA are more insulting and frustrating than helpful. There is NOTHING wrong with my PS4. I don't need to clear a data cache, or whatever the heck you are suggesting. This is a problem with the game's programming, and the updates have not helped. Fix this issue soon. I am a long time Sims fan, but I will not be investing ANY money for expansions, etc if the game is not playable and/or stable.

I am not experiencing any of these problems, but I have encountered freezing and actual crashes on occasion that led to me restarting the game.My biggest pain point at the moment is just the general responsiveness of the game particularly with sims performing actions, waiting or doing.I would try everything that EA's support team suggests just in case it is an issue with your system caused indirectly or directly by the game during installation or an update. If it was a significant break that has been introduced in the game, then I would expect everyone would have the same problem but this does not seem to be the case.Although frustrating, I personally have not encountered anything truly game breaking and I suspect over time the stability will increase and lead to a much more smoother player experience.I am running it on the PS4 also.
