'Island Paradise' causing freezing 🥶

I have for some time due to issues with playing with all 6 packs I have causing crashing after a bit of playing, been using a personal rule of playing with only 3 packs, usually been just just world adventures, University & generations with no issue but then decided to trade out a pack and play with Island Paradise as one of my 3 and noticed game freezing every minute or so of playing... Constantly happening without fail... Lasts for only about 39 seconds or so but still... Tried doing a repair and then going back in playing again and freezing again... Go back to my usual 3 with no issues... I have Ambitions & Late Night but haven't tried rotating either in yet, so I can only say the issue occurs with Island Paradise... 

Does or has anyone else had freezing issues with any pack...? I don't understand why it's happening... Or what the fix is... If any...

    SimAmbassador​  The only significant issue with Island Paradise is with the world itself, not the rest of the pack's content.  You can always use the content in another world, whether EA or custom.  If you'd like to play in Isla Paradiso, however, you'll need to fix it up or download a fixed version.  The first post of this thread has instructions for editing the world as well as a fixed copy:

    I would also highly recommend this mod for playing in any world with houseboats:

    World Adventures, Ambitions, and Late Night have about as low an impact on performance as expansion packs can, although the world of Bridgeport has some issues too.  Generations and University Life are in the middle; IP is on the more-demanding side.  So since you can play with Generations and UL at the same time, you can probably play with those two plus the first three without taxing the game or your computer all that much.
