Game freezes at 5:59pm
ZephyrZodiac:
Do you have the daily gardener hack? I know this caused someone a problem a while back, but I believe it's curable, and so your game needn't become a bfvfos! You need to fire the normal gardener before you hire the daily one.
Also, I've noticed that, the longer you play a hood, the quicker the RAM gets used up, so although I have 1GB, it's no longer really adequate! However, the CPU is a different matter, it's what controls virtually everything and if it isn't powerful enough, it can take forever for some RAM-intensive thing to happen. (The same thing applies to the power unit, the one I used to have just wasn't powerful enough for everything running off it, and my PC just kept crashing, even before Windows had loaded! Luckily it didn't happen every time, so I was able to save most of the stuff before I got everything upgraded.)
Kukes:
Is the daily gardener hack useful against spawning gardeners? I didn't realise that; when it was first released I thought it sounded good but then forget about it, thinking how many gardeners I'd have to fire... That was lazy of me.
I have noticed that Pleasantview is running much slower than its clone (in the N005 slot), so the CPU could be having an effect. I have 1GB as well, and my computer is 3.2GHz (only a year and a half old, which is nice). I've been thinking of doing a full reset, but keep putting it off because of - again - the laziness factor. The reset is mainly due to blue screens of death plaguing my computer when I connect to the internet (but only if I open Outlook Express before MSN Messenger - which I can't remove because it came installed and somehow locked-in! - has unsucessfully attempted to sign in). Maybe my computer is just clogged from... whatever and really needs the reset.
ZephyrZodiac:
That's the trouble, there's so much stuff comes with Windows that you never use, but can't get rid of! And anti-virus programs are another pain, you think,I've pulled the plug on the net, so it's ok to turn the AV off, but although you exit, if you check in Applications, a lot of it is still running and using a heck of a lot of RAM. So usually, I don't bother to go offline while I play, it isn't worth all the effort just for a few extra MBs!
Are you getting a spam of bartenders as well - if so you could try the nonpcspam fix.
Kukes:
I don't have any bartender overflows, but who knows what the future may bring? :-\ Since it's an experimental, I think I'll wait until I get the problem.

I have the Daily Gardener hack, right from it's issue - and my game doesn't freezes at all. My first action when I enter a house is, to call service for maid and gardener. So far no problems at all.
But, JM said something about "bomb" , when you use pre-made Uni houses. Perhaps this is the problem.
I have built and packaged my own resident house, and I move ALL the pre-made families to this kind of house, installing it over and over, buldozing their old one. Then I buldoze almost all the houses, or moved them to the lot bin. So far my game runs smoothly very long time. I play with all neighbourhood pre-made characters in Strangetown and Pleasantview - no freezes at all.
