Re: My Sims 3 game keeps freezing every few seconds

I don't think it would be digital downloads but it could be you don't have enough RAM memory running it's happened to me before and I need more RAM and a new grpahics card but before you go out and buy this stuff, (because it's expensive) check your RAM rate and if you have a graphics card. It would be useful to know if you have a laptop or a desktop computer and how old/new  your PC is.

    Ok so I been trying to figure out why my Sims 3 keeps freezing after purchasing island paradise, it's not my ram, I have 8 Gb. I have one game going on island paradise it keeps freezing. If anyone knows how to fix this issue that be great. I've tried what's been posted which none has helped
  • I'm having the same issues.

    I'm running:

    GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
    Radeon R9 290 GAMING 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
    AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo)
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

    I've done ResetSim * several times and it just keeps reoccurring.  

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure you have nothing running in the background and no peripherals, liked a phone or MP3 player, plugged in to your system.  Windows will stop pr5ocessing the top program to check on the peripherals every minute or two - it is really annoying.

    I have a brand new laptop with nothing installed except origin the sims 3 and 3 expansion packs. I'm only playing with 2 packs and this problem is still happening. It's not my computer. It is completely new
