This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions
Sims 3 keep freezing and then resuming
Randomly, my game freezes and then resumes. Everything continues to move or make sound, except for the time and sims. This keeps happening. I didn't test this on different house hold. This happens when I have any # of sims.Could this be because of CC? I first saw this when I had WA. i have all the expansion pack/stuff pack up to Ambitions.
Specs: HD 5770 1 Gb
Q8400 2.66ghz
8 GB DDR2
Windows 7 x64
Here is a video I recorded showing the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Lfx5l_ZFs
As you can see, when it freezes @ 0:09, only the diamond is still moving.

Freezing is often due to routing problems, or sims getting stuck. The first thing to do is to reset your sims. You can do this by typing 'resetsim *' into the cheat box, or using a mod such as Twallan's overwatch. You could also check your community lots for swarming sims, and go into edit town mode> edit that lot to send all sims there home.
I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will

Overwatch will clean up cars, missing sims etc., automatically each night on default settings. You could also try Twallan's Master Controller, which has an option to 'Reset Everything', which will affect all objects and sims.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest to work thorough the Game Problem guide, to see if your userfiles or CC are causing this.

Definitely both.
Also a StoryProgression mod if you don't already have on. EA's version is buggy.
And please read and learn all that you can about the mods before using it. The Download pages is usually the best place, or check if the modder includes a text file for documentation.
This lagging may also be caused by borked Sims3pack content.

is mastercontroller basically a more powerful version of Overwatch, but it's manual?
