I found a fix. I had the freezing and saw a video online how to fix it. First go into play sim mode. Not build or buy. Then save the game. Then open the cheats panel by pressing ctrl+shift+c then type in resetSim + and then push enter. Mine works now and doesn't freeze even on island paradise

Changing the Default to 60, is under the Graphics setting, it is the Hz for the monitor. And does little to effect the game.

 

My system

4 Ghz Quad Core

32 GB RAM

over 2.25 TB Free Space (Each drive is at or bellow 50% used)

 

I am still getting additional packs, BUT, here's the biggie, I just added Town Life stuff pack, and suddenly my Sims 3 started to do what everyone else is experiencing in this thread. I am going to disable that pack permanently.

 

CPU Usage 45%

System Ram Usage, never hits 3 GB

GPU Usage 20%

Video RAM Usage 30%

- I should not be having this problem, with the clock stopping for 30 to 50 seconds, and then ticking away for a minute or 2, it's like Sims 3 is buffering actions before it plays, when a good system doesn't need them to. Everything is flowing normally, the dartboard lights, rain/snow, even my sim's wings continue to flap normally.

 

1 Solution, after disabling Town Life Stuff Pack,

- before you start Sims 3, load up the task manager

- Start Sims 3, and get to the World Load screen (Main menu section) then tab out to the task manager

- Click on TS3 in processes to highlight it

- Right click on it this time, and choose Go to details

- Right click on TS3 and Set Priority = High

This should force Windows to deal with TS3 before any background programs.
