@javethe13 A bug is very simply put a behaviour in gameplay that the developers of the game did not intended (or anticipated as with the sims). Those should be reported in Bug Reports section for the developers to, hopefully, be aware of the issue, so as to fix it.
The thread you have linked to is a thread in Technical section, which is for individual issues with player's computer. If you think it is a proper bug post in the bug report section, otherwise you probably need to provide information on your setup, and someone will come along to help you.

@javethe13I find this is normal when the game gets bogged down. I have tried intentionally to see how much my computer can take before the sims start freezing up. With about 40 to 50 sims on the lot, the game will slow to a freeze and I have to pause to let the program catch up.
Depending on your systems hardware, it may take a lot less to slow the game down.

this happened to me on a previous save. Never used mods. If not pausing, only going to main menu or manage worlds fixes it. It happened like 10-20% of the time, usually it happened to only one of the Sims.
