deconstructing the 1am freeze
Figwit:
Sorry. I think I was confusing Household name with Lotname. I have just checked a brand new game and I see that the household name is named for the people living there but the lot name is something different. For instance (just to be sure I am talking about the right thing) for the Goths their household name is Goth and their lot name is Goth Manor 3b/3ba whereas Bachelor has a household name of Bachelor but their lot name is Greener & Greener blah blah.
However, I did have a case a few nights ago where I renamed the lot name to the name of the residents and they did get moved. Eventually they ended up being moved back to their house but that was why I thought the 'ancestral' thing wasn't working. Perhaps it wasn't in that iteration of the AM.
It hasn't happened again. In fact no-one has moved now for a while so I guess my neighbourhood is stable.

I've just loaded the latest version (about and hour ago), and I'm having an issue I never had before. The dreaded FREEZE! It happens to me around 0015. Poopy. I have to go to task manager and end the game. I get about 2 or 3 nights out of each run.
I'm sad. Is there anything I can do? What do you need to know to help me?
I love awesomemod, and I don't want to remove it!

Leave it be, go make yourself a sandwich. It'll unstick. If you turn on story notifications you'll get them popping up to tell you it's not actually dead for sure. Or use a different story driver - Awesome or Indy

Is that the freeze where everything absolutely stops, except for the scenery and the plumbob? I have this problem, and it never seems to unfreeze.
Figwit:
The freeze at 1am is different and is caused by the game moving sims about or some such thing. I believe just giving it time to do its thing is all that's required. I never had the freeze at 1am but my game used to slow down around then. This was pre Awesome Story Mode days of course.
The other freeze is a different issue and I believe Pes is tackling it in the latest version of the AM. It is totally annoying and I don't think your game will ever come back so the task manager is your best bet.
