The Sims 3 Island Paradise Freezing

Hi when I play Sims 3 island paradise it keeps freezing about every minute for a minute the background keeps moving but my Sims and the clock does not.

Please tell me what to do to make it better and stop freezing? 

  • Islo Paradiso does have a lot of problems. Routing issues and the large world with an entire routable ocean are just an example.

    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.
    • If you're playing Hobart's Hideout, be aware of this issue: Routing Issues in the Resort Hobart’s Hideout

    I have the same problem.  I don't have Lunar Lakes or the tree of prosperity.  It only began after I purchased Island Paradise.  It has completely ruined the game and taken what should be a fun experience to a miserable and frustrating one. Thinking of giving up my favorite games...The Sims. why won't the developers help us!
