how do i stop the sims 3 freezing?

i need british answers for some reason i was transferred over to this

Hi @Blackredminty,

I moved your post to the English Sims 3 board to get you the right support in your language.

But if I understood correctly, after installing the Master Controller Mod your game isn't freezing any more?

yes guess i just need to use it to solve the issue each time it happens

@Blackredminty  What world are you playing in?  Is there any pattern to the freezing?  And what MasterController command(s) are you using to unfreeze things?  It would also help to know what you see in-game when this happens.

im playing in the france world i think 🏀 Let's Play The sims 3 World adventures Part 1 stress! - YouTube that video shows what happens

@Blackredminty  Please list the mods you use.  Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

In the future, please don't link other people's videos to show me something; it's not particularly helpful if it's not your game.  The video is also age-restricted, and not all of us want to have to sign into YouTube just to watch.

that video is mine to show the issue i use master controller and story progression and thats all 

i hope i did it right the program seemed to change from that help post

@Blackredminty  Sorry, I didn't think that was your video since you said you were playing in France and the video is set in China.  It's still hard to watch though, especially with the voiceover; a shorter video with no commentary or (even better) a simple description of the problem is much easier to process.

Please try adding NRaas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and Traveler to the mix, and let me know whether it helps.  Delete the five cache files in your user folder as well:

• CASPartCache.package
• compositorCache.package
• scriptCache.package
• simCompositorCache.package
• socialCache.package

Your dxdiag lists a bunch of network errors and a couple from Sims 4, but none from Sims 3.  So if the above doesn't help, please look for related errors in the Reliability Monitor.  Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes.  You'll see a list of errors and updates, with a column for each day.  (Today is all the way on the right.)

For any errors that mention Origin or Sims 3 from after you add the other mods, click "View technical details," then copy the information and paste it into a reply here.  Sometimes the Reliability Monitor doesn't update right away, so if you don't see any related errors, be sure to check back an hour or two.  The timestamp on the initial chart can also be off by up to an hour, so that's not an entirely reliable metric, but the one within the technical details should be accurate.

i tried to download the mods and they didn't show up on the main menu of the sims 3 and i tried the other command with windows and it didn't work it didn't find it
