    Bridgeport is not working too well at the moment.

    It's probably not playable without mods atm so stick to another neighborhood until EA fixes this bug (yet again)

  • Does this only happen on your existing game or on a new one as well (just for testing purposes)
  • What neighborhood are you playing ?
  • Are you logged in while you play ? If so, have you tried without logging in to see if that helps with the freezing ?
  • How far into your game are you (how many weeks ? Hover over the clock in the UI to see that info) ?

Same thing when new sim, takes about 1hr of gameplay then starts to freeze, resetsim does - nothing.

After w 5 this also freezes like crazy.
