Hi Crin,
It looks like the issue is fixed. Nvidia released a driver update this morning and it seems the issue is ok now. I'll keep a watch if it repeats. Thanks for your help.

That is great to hear.
I'm accepting this as solved for now to show that you need no further help for the moment.
Feel free to unsolve (cogwheel on the solution post - Not the solution) if the issue comes back.
Hi, Crin
Looks like the problem is back, but I think I've found a work-around and a possible reason for this. First the workaround is I'll pause the game until the action is ready to be executed, then resume and the Sim does what he/she is supposed to.
I also did a factory reset of the Sim and employed a lone Sim in the Detective career and there were no problems.
I went back to my saved games, and the problem occurred, but by using my pause/resume workaround method - it seems to be eliminated. When I go off lots to make an arrest or investigate crime scenes, the issue does not occur. It seems to occur only at the station and with any character who is a detective. Now I can tell you I have many Sims in the Detective branch, at least ten by my count. Could that be a possible reason for the lag?
To me it sounds you have a dead lock issue. Is this possible ? Like one Sim is waiting on another to finish something before proceeding ?
Did you ever send me your save game ?
- Hi, Crin. Happy Easter. I don't think I have. It's funny you say that, it usually happens when prisoners are screaming in their cells. Usually I'll pause the game, resume and it seems to be eliminated. How would I send you a saved game?
