The Sims 3 Island Paradise Freezing

Hi,

since you're on a mac, it's better to make your own thread so that a mac helper can assist you further.

My game does this only in Isla Paradiso, the world that comes with the expansion pack. All the other worlds work fine. I currently don't have any cc on my game.

Islo Paradiso does have a lot of problems. Routing issues and the large world with an entire routable ocean are just an example.

Things you can try:

• Sims in Slow Motion
• Delete the Scott Family
• Use the cheat DiscoverAllUnchartedIslands to make all islands visible. I'm aware that this takes away from the fun but it seems to help some. 
• Make sure you have no stuck sims in your town (use the cheat resetsim * to reset all sims in your town and put them to a safe location)
• Use Overwatch and ErrorTrap (those are mods and you'll be using at your own risk. Not supported by EA. Just google to find)
• Check for any aboandonned boats in your game and delete them by using testingcheatsenabled true and then shift-click on the boat and choose object-delete.
• If you're playing Hobart's Hideout, be aware of this issue: Routing Issues in the Resort Hobart’s Hideout
• General tips for lags: Lags & Intermittent Freezes

If you think that 30$ was a waste, then what do you think about person(me) who had a pirate copy of the sims 3 at the beggining and then desided to buy almost whole collection for about 340$ via steam to support creators of this game? I fill sooo disapointed thanks EA for help that you didn't make...

So I bought Island Paradise yesterday and I'm surprised this still hasn't been fixed.. Any patch on the way?

[crinrict]

Probably not.

Try the suggestions above and if those don't help, please start your own thread.

How do I identify stuck sims?

I have tried everything, including uninstalling and reinstalling both Island Paradise and the Base game and am still having issues. I thought that if I downloaded it straight from Origin as opposed to buying the disc, as I did twice before, the problem would not exist but, frustratingly, it does. I am very disappointed that a game as defective as this one would be sold. It's unethical.
