ok I think I found a pathing / object collision issue:
Outside of the sports arena, my sim has twice now complained about being unable to walk or path to something. (wow I forgot how annoying the tantrum / footstomping was because I use AM which disables that emote haha) I watched her for a bit to see why and she kept getting the action to 'view solar panel' but apparently could not path to it. Your sports arena does not have any solar panels on the ground there, so I had to guess she wanted to go to the ones on the street next to the streetlamps next door.
I tested it by having her move around the area - she will 'go here' just fine. She will exit the lot and go home just fine too. But if I just leave her there outside the doors of the arena, she footstomps over and over about not being able to get to the solar panels. (no idea why she's so determined to view them)
Further testing - if I manually walk her to in front of the solar panel by lightpole between sports arena and movie set, she goes there fine and can then 'view' the solar panel just fine too.
This isn't a huge deal btw. Plenty of objects in EA's basegame world do this similar issue for unknown reasons. There does not seem to be anything blocking their path and manually going there works fine, just autonomous movement by the sim won't work.
No sure if this is the reason WR experienced a few hitches near the solar panels or not. Maybe the object itself is buggy - its a new object that came with that free Eco pack download (and perfect for a moon colony's needs) - maybe its just buggy. If a sim 'views' it then it must be labeled as a 'statue or art' object?
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
I still had a teensy bit of hitching at the start of my new game - no CC, no mods, cache cleared, no building / constructing or modifying any of your lots. Clean 'new game' of your world. I still think it's spawners kicking in or the world starting up its population and texture filling. Again not a aig deal, and once 2-3 sim days passed, its smooth as butter. It's probably an EA programming issue and not even related to your world.
I've visited 3 of your bars / nightclubs, the founder's park (do you mean for the fountain there to look like that?) the school, sports arena, and town hall so far. My sim started her first day as a playground attendant, but then got offered a prof. sports career right away (she's athletic) - hence the reason she's around the arena often. She's living in your starter dome house next to founder's park. She's had no problems in the house lot or other venues so far...
