After the game update has been installed, my sim keeps getting stuck when she tries to move into the dorm at University. It's happened before periodically but now it's every time. I have to manually close the game and pick up from my last save point.
Where exactly does it get stuck ? Is it the move in screen or the Sim itself that gets stuck ?
It gets stuck after I click on a dorm to live in. It doesn't process that my sim has moved at all.
I am also having the same problem when I tried to go to University for 2 days now. Uninstall and reinstall does not help, nor lowing the graphics to the minimum. Upon clicking the tick to move household to the dom, the tick goes grey and nothing happens. I can still interact with other functions, such as going to option menu, clicking on another dom, move the screen, rotating the screen etc. However, the game just do not proceeds even if I left it for 10 minutes. I am running on Surface Pro with Island Paradise.
Surface pro as in the Microsoft tablet ? Does that even have a graphics card in there ? I'm pretty sure that was not build to play a demanding game like thesims3.

Anyways, try the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
I have no problem playing Sims 3 with default graphic settings (not the lowest setting on Sims 3) on my Surface Pro, been able to play Island Paradise and diving, except for occasional lag of a second when riding a speed boat. The only problem I have is when I wanted to send my sims to University. I have no problem before Island Paradise, was able to send my sims to University.
Did you try my suggestion ?
They are doing maintanance. It's a general issue atm.
