Stupid Suicidal Sims
diamonde:
I had a sim get frozen twice without anything texture-related, and my computer didn't seem to be straining at all.
Both times she had just finished teaching a toddler to talk and got stuck cross-legged on the ground, needs dropping and life continuing around her as normal. Didn't move at all. The toddlers struggled a bit but were unable to escape the interaction/gorgon stare until I used resetsim on their mother. After that everything was fine.
I haven't had any other sims get the same problem with toddlers, just her. But she is an evil daredevil, so I figured she hated her kids and was trying to have a who-starves-to-death-first staring contest.

Oh my god, I just sat here and almost peed myself laughing, as this post just struck me so hilarious!

Agreed. I can't get this terrible image of a red-headed, skinny mother-sim clutching her flailing child with a maniacal, crazed look in her eyes... muttering "Stare into my eyes, little one, enter the light..." or something of the sort. -coughs- Anyway.
I've had a few stuck sims who I choose to ignore and haven't experimented with in the least. The best was a larva who left a clone of herself when she was left on the floor in front of the only bathroom. Good times, good times. ::)

If you're having issues with the game freezing your sim to load textures, just pause the game for a bit to give the game time to chew, so it can load without burning gametime.

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...
I have a similar set up as yours (old laptop with 1.5 GB's and a 1.66 processor) and the longest I've had a Sim wait to change clothes via getting in the shower, leaving for work...etc is about 2 Sim minutes. 14 Sim hours seems like there might be some other problem. But then again, I never have other programs running while I Sim; occasionally Firefox but that's it. Could it be old Cache's that haven't been cleared?
