On a different note, I was wondering if the people with sound issues could state what neigbourhood or world they are playing in, it would make it easier to identify if it is just IP or if it has infected everything, especially as some people are claiming no problems with the sound.
I didn't play extensively but I did check Sunset Valley, Dragon Valley and Moonlight Falls. None of them have the sound problem but Isla Paradiso still does. Even if I turn all the sound off in the game and play music instead the music (playing in an outside program) gets affected by this bug. I will note that sound is only affected in Live Mode. In buy/build and edit town the sound works perfectly. This is playing with only AM installed, I haven't tried it vanilla since I already loaned out my game disk so I need AM to bypass the launcher.
I did open a new Isla Paradiso neighbourhood and that had no sound issues, only my saved version of it has the issue. I'm pretty sure the sound was working when I first started playing my saved game. I think it only started going out once I actually saved the neighbourhood. I'm not sure if that's helpful to anyone but I thought I would add that in case it is to someone.

I live in Moonlight Falls and I do not have IP installed. I can not bring myself to pay more than 20$ for expansion packs. I have had the issues now while at home and at college. It is not a game breaking issue, but it does make playing the game kind of eerie.

I think I have worked out what is causing the sound issues - I have that stupid swan peddle boat in IP and my sound stopped when some townie was on it. Managed to nuke it, no issue.
I am in week 4 now in Isla Paradiso and no sound issues yet. The only time I had it was in a different game there without AM and the Sim was using that boat, too. One should look closer at the Mango household. He's the only one on that island that seems to own one.
And if you're playing without boats, strollers have caused sound issues in my games in the past, too.

Do you have the street art skill? I couldn't access the bag until my sim had, I think, at least one skill point, then they could use it.
Street art skill is not needed. My new Sim started with a kit and could use it right from the beginning.

I thought this might have been an issue as well. Today I decided to install Errortrap (which I have used before) and Overwatch (which I have never used). I am not well-versed in these mods, but when I first opened my save game, it took a good five minutes for the game to "think" before it started responding to anything. Once it did, things ran smoothly for a few Sim days. I played without sound problems for longer than usual. Then it kicked in while my Sim was SCUBA diving. I scanned the 'hood and found a guy sitting in a boat with the "route failure" thought bubble. I reset him and the sound returned, but only for a few seconds. Then, that night, Overwatch did its thing, but the sound problems remained (kicking in and out). Now my game is doing that freezing thing, where everything is frozen except sound effects and ambient movement (birds/water/trees/etc.).
Additionally, boats are disappearing from my Sim's inventory. When I find them in the world, they are unselectable. This might be twallan's mods, though, so I'll have to test further.
I am really at a loss here, but I would like to suggest discussing the sound problems on a different thread, as I really don't think it has anything to do with AM.

I played for a while in a custom neighbourhood today and had no problem with the sound. I think I was in Moonlight Falls when I had the error as well. Mind you that save has been laggy and annoying for a while now, so maybe it's just the save being annoying.
