Game freezes at 5:59pm
Kukes:
I haven't been able to find any prior instances of this problem with any kind of solution. Basically, the majority of my Pleasantview lots the game will freeze at 5:59pm, requiring Ctrl-Alt-Del to close the game. Since the age bars add days at 6pm, I've assumed it's something to do with that. I recently had NPC flooding in a lot, but moved the family out, bulldozed the lot and deleted the extraneous gardeners with SimPE. Other than that I haven't had any major issues in this neighbourhood (excluding those which have been fixed by Pescado and twojeffs). Any suggestions as to what's happening to Pleasantview?
syberspunk:
Sounds like something is majorly fuxored. :P
Does it happen on all lots, or just particular lots? In these affected lots, are there Age Transitions that are about to happen? That's the only thing I can think of. 6:00 PM I believe is the typical Age Transition time...
Did you try removing all your hacks and seeing if this issue still occurs? I'd try the ole Clean Installer sweep, hack removal and then gradual replace, test, rinse, repeat cycle. :P

I'd say there's about fifty inhabited lots, and I've tried about fifteen of them (due to time... damn Uni essays!) - but in none of them is an age transition taking place. I always grow them up the day before, anyway, but I have had age transition problems before (in another neighbourhood, with too many iterations). I'll use Cleaninstaller, etc. and see what happens - though I tend to be quite pedantic about what gets into my game, it's possible something's corrupted/conflicting.
ZephyrZodiac:
Before deleting with ctrl-alt-del, did you first check the CPU Usage? If it's stuck on 100%, you could try waiting to see if it comes down to a reasonable level by itself, in which case the game should still be working and the lot unfrozen. If it stays fixed at 100%, maybe the problem is your CPU itself?
Kukes:
I'll check it, I rarely notice these things. But if it's something to do with RAM and the like, then I don't really understand why it's suddenly happened, since I've had the base game and Uni since they were released. I have a suspicion that the overflow of gardeners may be preparing my game for a fiery explosion, visible from space.
