Okay, first I'd like to say that I've never posted on here and I don't know entirely what I'm doing. I usually just search the problem and find someone's answer to someone else it's happened to, but I wasn't able to do that with this. I apologize if something about this isn't correct or it isn't in the right place.
With that being said, My Sims 4 has been acting up a lot lately, but it hasn't been bothering me too much. It usually runs pretty well with very little lag and rare crashes. Earlier today, I had been playing just fine but while my two sims were eating breakfast, they just stopped. They still had the breathing animation but they wouldn't cancel/add any actions and weren't eating the cereal I had them eating. I tried to reset them a couple times but it never worked. Finally I decided to pause it, save it, and close it so I could start it back up again and see if that fixed anything. My game usually saves really fast, but It's been about 30 minutes now and it's still trying to save. Also, even though I paused it, in the background of the save I can still see time passing and my sims still breathing and moving their eyes around. It's kind of creepy. From what I can tell, their needs aren't going down. I guess I can force close my game and restart it, even though I'd rather not go back to my last save. I'm just afraid this will happen again and I don't know if anyone has experienced this and knows what to do?
