This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise
Default Game freezes...but animations continue?
My game seems to be locking up quite a bit but the animations keep going. For example, the snoring "Z"s keep coming, one sim was cleaning the toilet and the water kept moving, smoke continues to billow from a bust laptop, the fountain in the yard keeps...fountaining.

It will hang, resume, hang again etc etc

The game simulator that runs the objects in town, and the animation system run on different threads. So even if the simulator is busy, the animations still keep playing.

Good Luck.

So that is why that happens?!

Thanks, this always confused me.

I have been gaming on the PC since 95 and every other time a game froze on me the whole game froze, the fact that some parts of the animation continued was really confusing to me, so thanks for answering this. I can know die happy knowing the answer to this question
