Sims 3 keeps freezing, regular fixes don't work

[4Dyce]

you want the date for the GFX drivers or all of them? (motherboard etc)

The GFX Drivers i installed 3 weeks ago and they match the current one on the site,

Well, could you play around with the graphics settings for testing purposes to see if it gets better if you lower them ?

I really can't think of anything if it happens in all worlds, without extras on a new game.

[4Dyce]

Yeah i have already tried lowering everything.

The freezing only seems to freeze the Sims and won't let me click on anything for about 30 seconds then everything starts moving again for about 2 mins then it happens again.

Its getting really frustrating having this.

Going to give you the list. Maybe you can double check each suggestion on there cause I really don't know what else is on there.

I have narrowd down the problem. The freezing only seems to happen if i have Island Paradise installed, obviously i dont want to have a game i can not play, so is there anything you know that could help here?

[crinrict]

If the problem was only Islo Paradiso, I'd have some more tips but since it's happening in all worlds/games, I don't know why the expansion would make your whole game lag.

Maybe try get a refund from EA ? Would that be an option for you ?
