This happens almost every time I try to pause the game. The game time will stop, like it's supposed to, and nothing goes on, but you can still see sims moving in idle positions, birds flying, etc. It doesn't bother me that much. The problem i when I try to hit play again it gets stuck like that. Can anyone please help or has anyone else been having this issue?

I know if you got a lot of sims on your lot, like a house party, or a mod that deals with 100+, it will run well on high-end computers, but pausing and unpausing just takes time.
