Sound Issue Sims 3

Hello everyone! I'm experiencing the following problem: my sims 3 game, all of a sudden went silent (only having an ambiance sound), I don't know for which reason, and now it keeps happening systematically, and after a few seconds, I get back all the sounds that I missed in one fell swoop. How can I fix this issue?

  • @lucaszz2735  There are multiple reasons this could happen, including an overloaded game engine.  Do you play with heavy mods, such as NRaas StoryProgression; or in large or overpopulated or broken worlds?  Most EA worlds are okay, aside from Isla Paradiso, but some custom worlds are too complicated to run properly.

    I will say that if this only happens every once in a while and you don't see any other signs of trouble, it's safe to ignore.  It happens to me on occasion, on a gaming PC that's overpowered for Sims 3, and I just wait until the game corrects itself and then go on playing.

    Still, if you'd like me to look over a dxdiag, in case there's anything on your computer that should be addressed, feel free to attach one to a reply.
