Exit Stage Left, Please.
Zoni:
A bizarre bug has struck my Sims game, and there seems to be no single thing that triggers it.
Everyone in the game freezes. They simply stop moving, and I am unable to click anything in the game. Normally, when it freezes, the entire game stops. With this? It's like someone off screen just yelled at them to stop what they were doing - because everything else keeps going. Music keeps playing, birds keep flying, time keeps passing, the trees are blowing in the breeze - my sims have just come to a complete standstill.
I'm running the latest version of AM, as well as WA. I've not had this problem crop up before, so I'm kind of baffled. Has anyone else had this happen, or know a way to fix it? Because I have to completely kill the program and play from the previous save, it's annoying. It's happened in two separate games now, so I have no clue what is going on.
gethane:
This started happening to me too, either last patch, or last AM update. It only happens very very occasionally. So I just try to save often to get around it.
The_Goddess:
Yes, others have seen it happen. Pay closer attention. The clock stops when it happens, it is just a bit of lag and nothing to get too worried over. Many things can be the cause of the lag. Deleting your cache might help.
Zoni:
If it's just lag, will the game finally catch up after a while? I waited a half hour the other day before closing it out.

The game does not need to catch up, as the clock does stop. A half hour does sound a bit excessive. This has never happened in my game. My longest lag was not even a full minute, and usually occurs when I start a brand new game.
Try turning off unnecessary background tasks on your computer.
