Re: The Sims 3 Island Paradise freezing and lagging issues

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.

    These all sound like great ideas, but my game freezes up so much that I can't accomplish anything.  

    Can you detail how to find the Scott Family and how to delete them?  I am not an expert SIMS player and have no idea how to even apply those fixes.  Thanks!

  • Go to edit town and tap on Scott family house and a Windows pop up and then you can delete the family.... That is how i do it :/

    I did everything mentioned above, except the Sims in slow motion thing. I don't have the Tree of Prosperity so I decided to use DebugEnabler by Twallan. I am playing the island and when I clicked on town hall then NRaas, Debug enabler does not come up. When I go to NRaas settings, there is a line that says Set Alarm Hour  3. I have the option to go to Console Commands then Alarm commands, but that's it.

  • @kwohldIn addition to the above to get Isla Paradiso fixed so that it is properly playable, you may wish to bring your mod questions to us at NRaas. The commands and options you are describing are from NRaas Overwatch, not DebugEnabler. These are two entirely different mods among the collection of 39+ that we offer and both can be very helpful but for different reasons.
