I realize that this is a common issue with The Sims 3 Island Paradise, and I have tried almost everything to fix it. Does anyone know if there is going to be a patch to fix this extremely annoying glitch? I have a brand new computer that is well suited for video games, so it is definitely not adding to the issue. I have tried the cheat code resetsims * and it helps for a very short time. I've tried running the game without custom content (which I do have a lot of) but that didn't seem to help either. I've tried to just ignore it but some of the freezes sometimes feel like they're more than 10 seconds which is a considerable amount of time. I suppose if there no solution for a while, I'll just uninstall the expansion and wait until they've fixed it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

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

EA never tells us when we get a patch and what they will fix. We have to wait and see and hope that they do give us at least one more patch.
Have you tried this: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/11/sims-in-slow-motion.html ?

I have the same problem and my computer is seven months old and has 6 G memory and I TB hard drive. Recently I had a tech tell me it's my video card that is too low to handle the game. I got it to work but when I used compatibility troubleshoot, it goes to a darker display and when all was said and done, it won't go back to normal. Any ideas?

What kind of video card do you have? Does your computer have dedicated memory for the video card? It sounds to me like you're having very different issues than I'm having. My computer is brand new and it has 12 GB of RAM, 2 TB of HDD, 2 GB of dedicated memory for the video card, and an excellent graphics card. For me it's the game that is not working properly not my computer, where as for you it's the opposite. You'd have to lower the graphics settings in the sims 3 and possibly adjust your screen resolution to make running the game slightly easier for your computer. A 6 month old computer may not seem very old, but in the computer industry, there are major changes within that time frame.

I am having the exact same issue. I also know that it's not my computer but the game itself. I have numerous other expansion games and this is the only one causing lag problems. You can imagine how annoyed I am.
