Okay, gonna shut up now.
Clem, you are so darn cute with that mouse. I could not read without stopping to look at him and yes, your ideas are certainly welcome, as much as anyone here. It is hard enough to figure out why these things happen to one person and not another and brainstorming can be a saving grace.
So darn cute, he looks like he is waiting for a treat.

If all else fails, don't give up on your neighbourhood. Move the whole Sims2 folder to your desktop, then uninstall/reinstall Uni, then move your sims2 folder back into EA Games and let it overwrite the new Sims2 folders. Believe me, it can work!
Don't worry, I'm not giving up yet! There's too many fantastic sims to lose - Pleasantview was my first neighbourhood, and I have very fond memories of Dina's many aspiration failures in the Goth house (Alex having to raise his half-siblings, practically), Don's many marriages and offspring, Cassandra's constant twins and I really don't want to lose the family trees (and plans for future intermarriages) that I have now. When I reset I'll have to copy all my other neighbourhoods anyway, so I won't leave Pleasantview behind.

Your card sounds fine; I'm running on an Nvidia 5200 and all the graphics set to high without trouble.
Let us know if you manage to fix it. What's the computer doing--just sitting there, no spinning of disc, no "thinking" light? And just how many people do you have growing up/aging? Not that that should really matter, I guess. Just thinking aloud here.
I think it's got to be something to do with the neighbourhood - none of the other neighbourhoods in the game have this problem, they're all passing 6pm with no issues. In another neighbourhood I had a grow-up "too many iterations" issue but I don't think this is related, since it's simply when days are ended in the sim's lifespan, not a change in life stage. I tried defrag, no solution. Now I'm trying to disable my hacks with the CleanInstaller to check if that's the issue. The computer itself is silent - no whirring sounds indicating any activity, or lights from the CD-drive. When I tried after defragging I almost got it to Ctrl-Alt-Del again to close the program (it popped up but was inactive, so I couldn't End Program Sims2), but no other changes.
There's actually no one growing up on these lots - I've tried with medium sized families (two adults, two children; two adults, one child), larger families (two adults, four children), and even single member family lots. Though I haven't tried every house, the fifteen or so I've tried are all descendants of Maxis-made Sims (Brokes, Oldies, grandchildren of Cassandra/Darren, Alex/Angela etc.). I think I'll try with a totally unrelated and new family before testing out my hacks. :)
ZephyrZodiac:
That sound like a possibility, a family with no memories clogging up everything! Also, if you try with aging off, that would prove once and for all whether the adding on of a day to everyone's life is what is causing the problem!

I didn't even think of that! Great idea, I'll test it out ASAP. :)
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I hope it does do what I think it will, and that if your game works fine with aging off, at least then you know for certain where to look for a solution!
