Well, if people would tell me what twisted thing they've done to their neighborhood so I can figure out what is going into a loop and detect it...
Claeric:
Well, I used to think it was just a routing issue. It doesnt happen often in Sunset Valley but I would get it in france(where there is an island you cannot walk to, and trying to walk to it freezes things for a few seconds) and in egypt(same deal). I also get it in a custom neighborhood, sometimes quite often(I suspect it happens around the same time each day, I'll test.)
So it could just be sims, for whatever idiotic AI reason, trying to route to areas htey can not in any way reach.
Some mini-freezes like that are caused by CC, but usually not. I am pretty sure it's got to be a routing issue. Though why these idiots are trying to get to pointless island in the middle of dumbass river I have no idea.

Claeric, if you're getting it in Sunset Valley, you should try to get a save where, upon loading, it does it reliably and send it in. I was able to on my custom neighborhood when I was doing standard troubleshooting to verify it was, indeed, AM a week ago, but since it is custom and I don't have a non-custom save right now I can't be very helpful.
What I can say however, was for me it was coinciding with story-related things occurring, but not every story-related thing. Job promotions was a big one. I'm not sure if this is related or coincidence, however.
Claeric:
I said I didn't get it in sunset valley. Any time I got something like that in Sunset Valley it was a total freeze from unknown circumstances.
I am about to test if it happens around a certain time of day in the custom hood, but I doubt pescado would want to download a custom hood full of custom sims and pop in on my freaky fetish family to see what causes freezing. Or maybe he would, who knows? At least my CC wouldnt transfer and make the experience terrifying.
J. M. Pescado:
The .world files aren't that big, so if you're experiencing this problem with a custom world, send it in. I'm guessing, however, that if these problems are mainly custom-world, you're running into a resource shortage. Many the earlier algorithms of Supreme Commander assume that certain resources will be present in the town, as everyone then had the same towns, and to save on computation, did not verify that those things still existed. Now that people are making their own crazy-quilt worlds where basic town structures cannot be relied upon to exist, not everything works.
