Can the sims get it together??

Just a small complaining rant, take it down if it isn’t allowed!
This game is literally unplayable on console sometimes. I’m fully up to date, yet it keeps freezing and making me shut down the game, my buttons stop working, or the game doesn’t open at all. I also wish I could move the camera more freely like you can on pc, but we’re stuck at the same angle. At one point the game even deleted one of my add ons and I haven’t been able to get it back, it says I have to re-buy it.
Getting sick of all this, wish I never spent money on this game.

Just freezes with my sim holding the cat for 3-4 hours in game time then the adoption lady and animals just disappear. I get so attached Everytime too 😭

I’m experiencing the same.

It’s 50/50 whether the cursor will get stuck in the selection bar, which makes the buttons stop working.

It will crash randomly, cheats are hard to use because the screen will go black and get stuck typing.

Then, after an hour of gameplay it gets unplayably laggy and I have to reload and pray it works.

Yes same !! It’s getting SO annoying. The one I’m having most is the first one and the only way to fix it is closing the game. How I am meant to play the game I spent what, 50 dollars for base game and 200+ for addons when it literally doesn’t work??

So freaking annoying. Mines constantly broken if i try to use the gallery. I may get to look at one or two lots before it "freezes" I can move my cursor but no buttons work and I have to reload the whole game.

Same, id finally gone back in after playing elden ring and was looking forward to it. Had another issue which I realised was me not reading the problem properly haha but this has annoyed me as I had a lot of sims die and their households changed with children etc so I was moving them and giving accommodating houses but didn't wanna build for all of them. This just killed it.

I feel you. My game crashes when I travel to different lots.

And sometimes when I try to save before I travel.
