The Pause that Annoys

We've been over the outfit-change stuckness. To prevent it, pause the game while an outfit change is occurring so that the game can load without burning gametime.
So I need to watch every sims in the household. Anyway, is it possible to make a mod for this?

Blame EA and their sucky coding. On my new PC (an Intel Core i3), the outfit-changing is instantaneous, but on my old Athlon 64 3200+ PC (before it died), it would take several sim-minutes to do it. Really, all of this stuff should be pre-cached from the start, from the moment you leave CAS, or the moment the game generate townies even if it means an initial five-minute wait before playing, but EA wanted to give this illusion of speed, even on lower-end CPUs, and they've failed miserably in that regard.

Sounds like it is possible.

FWIW I discovered unchecking the the little option box that enables the store/shop while you play increased my performance by great measures. YMMV
J. M. Pescado:
It's POSSIBLE to stop it from doing that, but then your game will behave similarly to TS2: The entire world will hiccup every time someone, anywhere, changes uniform.
