Long pauses
ElyZap:
I think I have a similar problem. My sims occasionally stop on the way to work or places I send them and half the time they just drop what it was they were going to do after standing around for a while blocking the path for other sims on the lot. I didn't think it was a freezing issue since it doesn't look like they actually lag, but more like some sort of pathing issue. What's worse is that it seems to happen to lots I'm not currently playing as well, but I'm not there to get them back on track and very few of the sims are actually making it into work/school. Almost every sim in the neighbourhood is well into the negative side of the performance meter and a few have lost their jobs already.
If this is too far off the issue in this thread, or has been mentioned elsewhere, I apologise.

I can not reproduce the freezing issues in my game, but I will second the path issues. All of a sudden, everyone is swarming the same path, dropping their queues, missing work and school, and standing around for hours. I have to manually reset them or they would still be there. Mind you, I have multiple doors to every room, multiple exits for houses, and multiple stairs for every level.
This was yesterday's build. I will update again, today, before I play.

The thing is, I only play one sim, unless I later marry them off and I've only been playing one sim since last evening and had the freezes happening. The music from the stereo will keep playing, his plumbob spinning and his eyes seem to be moving and sometimes I see a little movement in the upper body but his legs are frozen and time stands still. If I wait a few minutes, he will start moving again. The pathing problems I have, I had with a couple I was testing for the inseminator mod w/awesome/indie, who I had a hard time with getting to the bed to woohoo. And then when I played the later game with the one sim, I would send him to town and the townspeople would sometimes be lively and talking but then other times when one of the town sims or my sim would move somewhere, it would seem to cause a big pathing problem and then everyone would just stop doing anything and just stand around silently. No one is getting to where they are going without me having to cancel my sim's actions/movements so that things will go back to normal.
And to add, this is happening with new games I'm starting and they shouldn't be having lots of homeless sims, extra cars or any other stuff that would be causing a big lag in the game.

You can "beam" them, well "teleport" them. Turn testingCheats on and rightclick the ground to teleport there,
I wasn't suggesting teleporting MY sims to work. I was suggesting that the game teleport all the TOWNIES to work. I'm quite happy with my sims taking the carpool or bus to work. I just wonder if it wouldn't be less laggy if the townies took a shortcut. I rarely follow townies from home to work, so it wouldn't be no big loss and it would keep them off the roads in the morning.

If only that could happen in real life.
