Yeah, but ESL though. Cut her some slack.
Cutting slack for ESL goes as far as spelling, grammar and punctuation, but not to announce they couldn't find the exact same problem posted anywhere else, when they go on to describe what has been discussed in a full thread. The Neverending Pause thread is about the same problem, the game hangs, time freezes, but the music keeps playing and the trees sway, etc.
The problem is people, ESL or not, tend to announce that they couldn't find the "exact" same problem because they use the term "frozen sims" while others use various different terms, such as "Stuck Sims", "Locked Game", "Frozen Game", etc, thus making their problem unique and different, when in reality it is the same as what has been covered already.

Coming up with synonyms for your problem is difficult when it's not your first language.

It can be just a difficult when it is your first language.

Yes, but this is a different problem, the pause is just a part of it.
I can see Pes already figured it out, as the awesome rabbit hole entry system is no longer an option in the config tool. I discovered this exact same problem with that option enabled with the test mod for LN. I guess EA finally improved the RH entrances? I can't tell for sure, but i think the option conflicted with the mod and gave a flagrant system error that would result in the exact situation as described in the first post. You'll have to re-load the game before the error first occured, otherwise sims will start to freeze randomly from that point on. At least, that's what i got in my case.

I think it is understandable in any language, at least to a point. It can be difficult to think of the right terms, and even when using multiple synonyms, you may not get the right thread you need sometimes, or your terms might be buried so deep it isn't clear whether or not the thread is relevant. At least this person made an attempt at searching, although it's funny that they missed the topic on the very first page.
