Sims 3 Island Paradise Game play problem

Why is it moving slow now like a turtle since the last patch?? Now, After patch 1.57 my game is worse and I can only play in sunset Valley or Moonlight falls? At 4pm it stays at 4pm and the time just stops but other than that even with my graphics turned off or on the lowest they can be set the game pauses and pauses and won't work or play correctly. I then went around taking 1000's of objects out of the game thinking it would run as normal but nope! Then it just froze again. It's either freezing or moving like a turtle? Please HELP!!

    This is only happening in Island Paradise, why?  Why can I go to Moonlight falls or Sunset Valley and everything is working OK? It's now 12:57 am and it's been 12:57 am Sim time for 15 minutes human time? Stuck again and it's not my sim who is stuck. I can clearly see my Sim. Why was this working OK before the patch but not now??  I can't reset or do anything when it freezez. I can't click onto anything when it freezez.

    Should I delete every single household except for mine to make sure no Sims are "Stuck"?? :P

    Test, reprogram because something is very wrong in the code not my computer.  Fix the code and patch the problem🙂

     You don't need to gather a DxDiag from my computer.  You need to tell a programer to look at the code. I watch my husband do this daily. Fix the code.

    I have already done and thought of this all of it.  Your code is what changed not my comp. Whatever was done during the last fix me patch to fix rabbt holes is causing this lag issue. I don't want an auto responce I want the game fixed, You didn't even fix that much in the last patch which is probably the problem. You seriously gave me a link? I went into the World and removed the Trees EA put in there. Bad Routing in Bridgeport and other towns again is EA's fault not ours if it's bad fix the code. The game likes to spawn a lot of wild animals and strays. Similar to the car issue this makes the game lag then give us an option to shut it off 🙂  I have shut off everything else where is my option to shut this off?  If they create it they should make sure it works, no? Tons of downloads (especially package files) and faulty ones. I don't have anything other than what the game came with. Stuck cars and bikes? What about.... boats! And where is my options to shut these off??? I have No CC, No Photos, No Videos, No store Content. And my game was not freezing like this before the last patch!!!!!!
