Exit Stage Left, Please.

Nope, I have AM set to autosave every 30 minutes instead of whenever I pause. Sure, it lags the game play a bit but it's amazing how many times I have to work off of my autosaves because of this freezing problem.
Dienvae:
I have this happen while on vacation, usually while in fast mode. Time and sims freeze, but tree animations and sounds still function. I don't use AM, so that can't be causing the problem. I personally think it's the tourists/other adventurerers causing the lag, at least in my case. After I change back to normal speed and a few seconds pass, everything is fine. Note that it doesn't always do this in fast mode; that's why I think it's the game 'computing' or something.
(Did I use the semi-colon correctly in that last sentence?)
witch:
Yeah, similar problems here. I haven't had pausing when SC is off, just when it's on - and when 8 sims are directed off around the countryside on vacation. The 'Dig' setting seems to cause problems for me. Usually if I change it to 'random' the pausing stops. I'll note any occurrences tonight.
I haven't noticed any problems with the auto game save, I have it set to 30 min intervals, when game is paused. I often get an error message when the game has paused itself for a shop or wardrobe menu and AM is trying to save, but it just tells me it can't save while other dialogue boxes are open and it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on the menu interaction.
funkilla:
Now that I think about it, I did have one of my Sims set to to Dig/Excavate setting a few minutes before it lagged up to the extreme lagging. I'll reboot and try to fix him.

Same here. Vacation worlds have always been pretty buggy for me as a whole, even though my (fairly large) main worlds run fine. I've gotten into the habit of avoiding them due to this.
