I don't have the game installed yet so I don't know if this will happen to me, but I've been following this thread because this bug is so **** baffling and there seems -so far- to be no common cause. I would probably rule out system specs at this point as being the culprit due to the fact that those affected have extremely varied systems - some great and others not so much.
You may consider asking if those affected are playing while logged in.. and whether or not they have memories enabled (and the latter only because I'm curious if the Sim trying to generate a memory about "Went to a Resort" is causing a hang).
