    Bridgeport is not working too well at the moment.

    There is a bug with the game where cars and limousines are not removed properly from the game when they are not used anymore. Since Bridgeport has so many stars, it starts to freeze after a while. It also has some bad routing issues.

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

I'm having the same issue in Bridgeport.  I just installed Seasons so my game should be completely up to date and I know my drivers and DirectX are all up to date.  I have all of the expansions and stuff packs currently available.

Custom (Built Myself)

MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 955

16GB Corsair RAM

Sapphire ATI HD4870X2 Dual Processor 2GB video card PCIE

6 Seagate 2TB SATA Hard Drives

Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit

I have learned one thing fromm EA.  Don't wait for their help, or you'll die of old age while you wait.  It may be a connectivity issue, but I am pretty sure it's a bug.  EA needs to learn to fix the stuff they have out now, before worrying about new add ons.

I'm going to try starting a new game in a different town.  Maybe that will help.  Right now my single sim is travelling to China and it's still bogging down.

    From what I am hearing from this page is the sims ain't as good as I thought it to be.For the cost of the games you would believe they would be on top of this. 

      The sims company is as bad as everything else. Take your money and hide.

       And to think I have every single sims made so far,and they start this.

         Ain't anything worth the money- Yes _ its the people behind the products.

         Is there a solution out there?
