Long pauses
J. M. Pescado:
Is it possible your problem is caused by overheating? Issues that occur at random points in play, but only after time has passed, may be heat-based.
Larku:
My computer has never had heating troubles before, back when the game came out I never had these issues.
Lonesome Dove:
I've only just started having this issue, after installing the latest edition of Awesomemod. I have all the patches installed except the last one.
Last night I tried playing a small household (one Sim) on a smallish lot with a bare-bones house, just starting out with the standard $16K nest egg. She got hungry. Stood in front of the fridge for about 5 seconds, then took out some food. Went to the counter, put the food down, stood there for another 5 seconds, then started chopping. Periodically paused for another few seconds during the procedure. Took the pan to the stove, stood there holding it for (again) about 5 seconds, then started cooking, with more intermittent pauses. Took the finished plate and stood there for -- wait for it -- about 5 seconds. Took the plate to the table, put it down, stood there for (guess how many) seconds, then sat down and ate.

I've seen a lot of this and just sort of resigned myself to it. Yesterday it took half the morning to get two of my Sim kids to the school bus. They moved like they were going, just slowly with lots of pausing and waiting for the other sim kid to go through doors. I followed them to the school where they did go in. But by the time they got there it was after eleven. In another household, the kid took so long just to get out the door that the bus left without him and he rode his bicycle instead. Nothing freezes and nothing acts like it's locked up. They just pause.
The other thing that really gets to me that seems to be a common complaint is that they don't do anything unless you tell them to. In one household they congregate in the basement by the back door and just stand there. In another it's a hallway. Again, I've resigned myself to it.

The long pauses have indeed increased after the very latest build of AM, as I had just started my computer up to play S3 and it had not had any time to heat up... I too noticed my sims just standing around not "doing" anything whereas before this build, they would go about their business as I always play w/free will maxed. My kids going to school go in lock-step formation and I should have taken a piccy of my teen and kid both poised on the top step of the front porch each w/a leg extended to take the next step, just frozen for a sim second... funny to see not so funny to play... ;)
