You need to elaborate a little more about this.

  1. How big is this new family?
  2. Is it a generic game family or is it one self created/one others have created with? Beware of presaved characters saved from other game plays as they may have all sorts of stuff in their inventories. We learned this the hard way with Kirry Bixley Simnel having the entire fruit and veg harvestable contents from one of Rflong7/13's world ...
  3. How big is the world you've dumped them in. Come to that, what world have you dumped them in?
  4. Is this utilising an old game save in any way? If so, it may have 'bloat' needing cleansed.

In short, there could be any number of reasons that's bringing your poor PC to its knees trying to process what you've opened up, you need to say what you have tried so that by a process of elimination you can find out the cause.

By the way, you may get a faster response putting this query in the Sims 3 Technical Issues section.

    There are two sims in the family and one cat which I made in cas

     

    they are in a small made home I didn’t build in costa del sol. I have played in this world before in the same house with even more sims on a less powerful laptop. I have a gaming pc now.

    its a new save 

    im just confused due to it working fine on an old dying worse gaming laptop but my new powerful pc is having issues. And it wasn’t freezing until around the time I put a bird cage with a bird in the house on the porch.
