My game was working perfectly fine until the latest update 1.22:
-My game now takes 20-45 min to load. Often, my computer will notify me that the Sims 3 is either not responding or it is using 100% of at least 1 of my cpu's while loading.
-After loading, the graphics are choppy.
-When my Sims play musical instruments, they spin in the air like a tornado while the character appears to pantomime playing it for a couple of seconds.
-The characters take FOREVER to do things or freeze. For example, I will click to have a Sim change clothes or interact with another Sim. 2 hours in Sim time will pass before the character begins to do the action.
-In addition, items placed outside such as pedestrian sculpting station or lawn sprinkler will sink into the terrain or rise above the terrain without warning.
-Also, the EA download manager update which changed it to Origin is screwed up. When I click to play my games from there, it says that it can not start my game because it is not installed. Meanwhile, the game starts anyway.
