Hello.
We would like to collect more videos and save files for this issue.
If you're willing to share, instructions are here:
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.
