My Sims 3 keeps freezing

[MyTurtIes]

So every few seconds, my sims 3 freezes then unfreezes. Then at around 10 seconds later, it freezes again for 3 seconds and unfreezes. Any suggestions on to how I can fix this?

I also started having the same issue only after adding the Island Paradise expansion pack.
