Stupid Suicidal Sims
J. M. Pescado:
I think this is how the game is designed to not lag: Rather than stopping the entire game to load textures like in TS2, the game just continues to load the textures in the background while everything else continues: However, the sim that NEEDED those textures gets frozen instead, resulting in that sim becoming "Stuck" in texture load while everyone else moves on. This is why sims ordered to take showers and whatnot will occasionally just hang in place for several seconds unmoving for no apparently obvious reason.

Yes, actually, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the fact that the entire game doesn't stop to load a single thing. It'd slow to a crawl if it did. It seems like they actually did get something right here.

Not really because it reaches the point where my sim is actually dying by the time it's loaded...

Hmmm, my computer is an iMac, barely 2 years old. Could be a bit slow by sims standards though.
No way. My iMac is also 2 years old. And its' the basic 20" one and the game runs perfectly. It has to be some sort of bug. Just use the "resetsim [sim name]" cheat. Its' the only way. My sim also just stands there in front of the shower or dresser (not for 14 hours though). I just use the resetsim cheat and everything is peachy... for the time being.

Sometimes I find that the performance can change arbitrarily. Despite my best empirical efforts, I've yet to isolate the cause, but sometimes it happens after having just had a virus scan, from all I can tell. Sometimes I can barely run the game on fullscreen, other times, I can have Firefox running YouTube and be talking on my chat program at the same time. Try restarting your computer and brutally murdering background tasks until the pants are dead - that could help.
