Re: Sims 3 Island Paradise freezing every couple of seconds

I'm having the same issue and validated that my graphics card is indeed found (found:1 match: 1).  Any other ideas?

I started having the issue after trying to visit a cave and then got kicked to landside.  I'm having weird bugs with boats as well.  I think I'm going to try moving my sims back to a normal town.

With the bad support I've recently gotten from EA/Origin and this buggy crap software, it makes me want to file a credit card chargeback.  It's unplayable.

    Islo Paradiso does have a lot of problems. Routing issues and the large world with an entire routable ocean are just an example.

    Things you can try:

    • Sims in Slow Motion
    • Delete the Scott Family
    • Use the cheat DiscoverAllUnchartedIslands to make all islands visible. I'm aware that this takes away from the fun but it seems to help some. 
    • Make sure you have no stuck sims in your town (use the cheat resetsim * to reset all sims in your town and put them to a safe location)
    • Use Overwatch and ErrorTrap (those are mods and you'll be using at your own risk. Not supported by EA. Just google to find)
    • Check for any aboandonned boats in your game and delete them by using testingcheatsenabled true and then shift-click on the boat and choose object-delete.
    • If you're playing Hobart's Hideout, be aware of this issue: Routing Issues in the Resort Hobart’s Hideout
    • General tips for lags: Lags & Intermittent Freezes

    If these don't help, please make your own thread, posting your specs.
