The same thing happens to me. Gameplay starts out smooth and normal and then becomes very laggy and seems to stutter a lot. It doesn't always all out freeze but the motions of everything (cursor/sims themselves) are very choppy and not fluid when moving. Clicking some things, especially the refrigerator and stove, causes a delay in the menu popping up. Sometimes it clears up sometimes it does not. Pausing does not help. Switching menus does not help. Restarting the game helps for a very short time but then it resumes lagging..

Same for me, too. When I load the game and load my current household, within five minutes of play it'll lag as bad as it sometimes does after several hours of game play. And none of the tricks, like bringing up the menu or the button guide thingy helps at all, only reloading the game seems to fix it, unless of course it happens with the reload too within the same short timeframe. It's very annoying to get hit with massive lag within such a short period of play, and it's only been happening for me since the last patch. It's even worse now since the delivery update today, though. I've had to restart my game three times in an hour.

I have the same issue. 10 FPs on startup, or it starts with 60 FPS and after like 10 seconds it goes to 10 FPS.
Sometimes when you load it is ok, you can play, but sometimes when you load the game next day, it starts with 10 FPS, it is unclear what causes this, but there is an issue since it SOMETIMES works OK.
I try to delete cache load game, save game, if it does not help, again save, close game, delete cache, load it again, and eventually it starts to work again with 60 FPS. Very critical and annoying.
