    Have you tried resetting the sims? 

    • Open the cheat box - shift ctrl c
    • Type in resetSim (sim firstname) (sim surname) or  type in resetSim * (Which will reset practically everyone)
    • Hit enter

    To delete the car - perhaps try using "testingcheatsenabled true" (without quotation marks)

    • Open the cheat box (see above for directions)
    • Type in testingcheatsenabled true (to turn off please repeat process and type in false instead of true)
    • Hit enter - now hold shift and click on the vehicle - choose object; delete

    Another thought with regards to the children sitting on bikes for ages - try this link on lags: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Lags-amp-Freezes/td-p/646

    I also try if my sims are taking forever is to minimize the game and then go back in - never fails me.

    Let me know what happens 😕mileyhappy:

    I've reset the sims to get them out of being stuck in their vehicles and I often minimize the game and come back when it's being slow. This last time however, the game froze up and crashed totally. I'll try some of the suggestions from the link. It downloaded some custom content from the exchange recently, that could be it.
