Lags & Invisible, Frozen & Stuck Sims --> Post here if you have the issue.

Hi: sorry about your problems - we all have them on this thread, which replaced another thread that got deleted (out of sight, out of mind, I guess). I have had problems since LateNight or the update prior to it - that was how many months ago? Not a word from EA.

The problem with Sims freezing when they take a picture is a Generations bug (check out Crinrict's bug list under Generations).

It sounds to me like the game you are playing is corrupt, I would start a new one. I would also try taking out all CC you have.
