I got the fifth island last night, at nearly bedtime, by running into a mermaid on a dive lot who I'd met in the library on Day 1. Been friends for ages, but never saw him underwater before. He took Lucy to the island, I did a quick camera scan, and the Sims all froze. Water laps, spring gushes into pond, but no Sims move. Usually this happens 5-10 seconds at a time but this time it lasted 10 minutes before I had Windows force it shut. Of course, I have no idea when was the last time I saved, so I don't know how much I lost. At least I get to keep the badges . . .
