Supernatural freezing every 30 sec.

[ziggin55]

I am playing fairies and for some reason or another my entire game is freezing every 20 to 30 seconds.. they freeze for about 5 seconds and then it starts all over again... what do I need to do???

Try resetting all sims in your town with resetsim *.

Did you start a new game with SN ?

Same problem... Zombies popped up when it froze first time and hasn't stopped freezing since mileyfrustrated: Every 20 secs or so.  Restarted the game, keeps happening.  Geez.. Is it so much to ask that just one expansion pack be bug free? Of course it is.... mileysad:

Thx crinrict, resetting sims using the command resetsim * does in fact work.....for now. At this point I'm just always on edge about new gliches and bugs with every new expansion ruining the experience. Always dreading the next bug. I'm sure other sim fans understand. Still, they're all such great exp packs!

Thanks again.

I'm having the same problem but when I try resetsim *, I crash to desktop. My normal sims were turned into zombies due to an elixir they threw at each other. When the zombies from the full moon came I never had this problem. It just started 6 real-time hours after gameplay.

Are you using any mods ?

Same thing is happening to me and I was told it's my graphic's card, which I don't think it is since this is a gaming laptop with a radeon graphics card!

I have tried the game on 3 different computers, one being a mac, and i still have this issue. resetting sims will work for 5 minutes but then the issue starts again.

Is this still the same issue as this: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Sims-3-freezes-but-zzzs-will-working/m-p/2277903

If so, please continue in that older thread of yours since this one is solved and it's likely to get missed by helpers.
