Islo Paradiso does have a lot of problems. Routing issues and the large world with an entire routable ocean are just an example.

Things you can try:

  • Sims in Slow Motion
  • Delete the Scott Family
  • Use the cheat DiscoverAllUnchartedIslands to make all islands visible. I'm aware that this takes away from the fun but it seems to help some. 
  • Make sure you have no stuck sims in your town (use the cheat resetsim * to reset all sims in your town and put them to a safe location)
  • Use Overwatch and ErrorTrap (those are mods and you'll be using at your own risk. Not supported by EA. Just google to find)
  • Check for any aboandonned boats in your game and delete them by using testingcheatsenabled true and then shift-click on the boat and choose object-delete.
  • If you're playing Hobart's Hideout, be aware of this issue: Routing Issues in the Resort Hobart’s Hideout

Thank you for your reply but these are all things I have tried based on other reports of this problem and general Google information. ☹️

    Your graphic card is rather old, so it might not be able to handle the very intensive world of Islo Paradiso.

    I'm sorry I don't have any other suggestions.

      My card is in the supported card list and has 4X the minimum requirements listed and handles all other worlds in the game without issue.

      But thank you for your suggestions.
