my game keeps freezing

★★★ Newbie

I have a new laptop with plenty of memory and disk space, but my game keeps freezing. It'll work for a while when I first start up the game and then freeze for a few minutes. It'll then work again for a minute or two and then freeze again. It's really frustrating and I'm not sure how to fix it. My game is up to date and I have all the recent patches. I've tried turning it off and on again, restarting my computer and playing without custom content but nothing is working.

I've been having exactly the same problem with mine. 

 

The game worked on my old laptop, which was 3 years old, but I got a new one a couple of months ago (top specs, loads of memory) and it freezes all the time. I've tried saving more often which helps for a while but eventually it won't even save and gives me an error message. Every time I go into create a sim I get part way into making the first person and then get a black screen. 

 

It is becoming very annoying, especially the not being able to save or create a new sim part!!

I had this problem too, but it's fixed now. Does it happen when the game is in play mode? Try pausing it and moving around, for me it would be perfectly smooth then but would freeze when I clicked play.

Try resetting all your Sims in your town with the cheat resetsim *.

You might have a stuck Sim somewhere
