Sims 3 Island Paradise freezing

I had bought the Sims 3 Island Paradise on origin a couple weeks ago. Every time I play a household in Isla Paradiso, the game will freeze briefly roughly every 30 seconds. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and it has not fixed the problem. My husband is a huge PC gamer, so I know the issue isn't with that. What can I do to fix this?

    EA is done with Sims 3. I doubt there will be any more patches.

    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.
