Here is a video of the problem - it's never been an issue prior to this update for me. Now it's a constant thing and it's really creepy, lol.
I have all the DLC available for the game, and have tried with and without mods/cc.
Also including my DxDiag.
I am not experiencing the other lag issues as reported in the other thread.

I can confirm
been seeing this for a little while now..
to see the issue faster have 2 or more sims talking to each other then paused in the middle of it. their heads will keep turning very slowly like a clock whining down.
my save game is old like 1 1/2 years old, so I built a new game folder to see if that would clear it up// nope same thing

Ok, here's my video clip. I'm on normal speed except at the very start while waiting for the 3rd sim to enter the conversation, then I slow it down to normal when they begin talking. It only started happening after yesterday's patch. I've played this household for a long time and never noticed it prior to this. This is one my regular save files/main households. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but here's a dropbox link:

I'm noticed it too, some sims move slightly, sims may even spin around, but it's not effecting gameplay, in-fact I quite like it, it's reminding me that my game hasn't frozen-up or anything.

And still happening after the hotfix. I was hoping this would be fixed in it too but it isn't.
You're right, it doesn't have to be on ultra speed, I tested it on all speeds and it happens no matter what speed you're playing on. Even after I uploaded that video the other day I had one happen a little later on where Mrs. Crumplebottom was hitting someone with her bag in slow motion at the romance festival. It was pretty funny, I wish I had recorded that instead.
