Long pauses
tjstreak:
So, the solution appears to be to delete all those nifty homes we have been adding to the neighborhood?
I have not tried that yet. I did remove a lot of the custom hairs and a number of items I never really used.
But, with more homes, that means more sims to gum up the works.
A number of programs, including awesome mod and the NRass supercomputer allow us to nuke the homeless. So the problem is that we are putting too many homes in our neighborhoods? Time to call out the bulldozers!
Tangie:
Well, it's not just the number of homes that factors into the population growth. If you are using AM Story Mode, then sims get created through jobs. I started a new 'hood with 4 couples and left all the houses in place, and have been playing it for several sim weeks. None of my 4 couples have jobs, and no sims have been created in my nieghborhood (but I am up to 40 NPC's, for some inexplicable reason).

FWIW, I was having these problems, and then my husband upgraded my video card. I had an NVidia GeForce 7950 GT and now have a 9800 GTX. I thought I had a decent card before, but the difference is amazing. The game is running very smoothly now, and it had become almost unplayable before.
Tangie:
Interesting. I'm definitely saving up for a kickass gaming computer.

Were you having individual Sims freezing or the whole game freezing or both?
My whole game's started freezing now, almost every time I play for longer than fifteen minutes or so. It's pretty irritating, I really hope my computer gets fixed soon. :(
