I'm still a little unsure what to post in this forum and if it would be a good idea to make threads for the more common issues with this game. After all it is all about answers here.

EA Staff (Retired)This is exactly the kind of thing we want to see here! Information like this helps other users and is the sort of thing needed to help lay the foundation to this community. I'll also float this post, so it stays at the top of The Sims 3 area.
I got tons more where this one is coming from.
I'll see about transferring the more common issues which have solutions other than mod-solutions and maybe compile some FAQ from the shorter posts on my blog.
If that's what your looking for, it's easy to transfer them here.
What about the issue of game lagging that ends up relating to NPC sims spawning on lots and then becoming locked there? Kind of like I sent you that file Crin once where all NPC were spawing to a community lot and standing around screaming and screaming. Then when I reset them they'd only spawn right back later.
I do know that started a major lag on my game so when I panned around I found the issue on that one lot. What are the "fixes" for those seeing this???
Anyway, just an idea as a topic for here.
That's what I mean by Crowd gatherings that never dissolve.
I still don't know of a mod-less solution for that, unfortunatly.
This shouldn't be what people want to see here. What we want to see here is that the developers who have a cult following of dedicated fans care enough to fix the problems they're giving us. As far as I can tell the lag/freeze has been a problem with this game since the beginning and you still have NOT fixed it. Please tell me how you can justify charging so much for this game that you can't even seem to maintain correctly? You know what, never mind. I'll be uninstalling shortly.
The AnswerHQ is about users helping users so that's what you get here: Users that try to find solutions to help others.
The devs don't post here. Don't know if they even read.
I agree with you, princessaudry. We have all spent a LOT of money on this game and even when our computers are well above the requirements, the game doesn't work right. It definitely is their problem, not ours. We are stuck with the problem now that we bought into it, though.
I am running lion on my mac os x. the game worked fine until i updated the with the latest patch. now it freezes after a few minutes of play. I am completely updated with all the patches, and have removed all custom content and it still does not work. how can i actually talk to someone or get real time help????
I have this problem a lot thanks to Island Paradise. It comes with A LOT of lag and freezes so it's good to see this on here.
You know I have read all the solutions for this and will try them ...very soon. But you know, this 2015 soon to be 2016, ....we as customers should Not be having these issues in The Sims 3 games. And now you are constandly asking to purchase Your Sims 4!!! Damn! Fix first the Issues in The Sims 3 before asking to shell Out more Money on your Games. With All the issues in That Damn Island Paradise, well you need to give it away for Free. Honestly, I want to purchase The Pets....but just not sure if it would have running issues.....EA ...Please slow down and first Fix what is a problem with prior games ....before shotting out new games.....Please....I Love your Sims games Quality should Trump Quantity........Thank you.
