Game Freezing

When I play in a particular Sims save file, it freezes constantly. I have played in other files, and it's fine, but in this particular save file, it keeps freezing. I have tried repairing the game 3 times, and it just hasn't worked. I have to keep force-quitting and restarting the game.  I havent got any mods in and I deleted the local thumb cache but it still isnt helping!

    I play on Mac, i have mccc and ui cheats but i removed them and it still happened. The game froze as in it went completely still pretty much indefinitely. The little loading wheel showed up and the only way to get out was to force quit the game. It was only on 1 specific save file. I ended up having to move over my sims and house to a brand new save file. It turned out the problem was my paint by reference paintings. They had corrupted my save file.

  • This is happening in my Game as well!   freezing  alot! No cc No Mods! it happens alot Now my game will overcome the freeze but I have to wait at least 2 to 3 seconds till it corrects itself but this happens alot in my game! Not sure why it is doing this never did it before and I did NOT try out the memory (trial thing). It is annoying not game breaking but still a real bother when it happens  I always clean the cache files!  I have gotten to the point I save all the time and Repair the game after every time I play, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the game. It is still happening!

     

     

  • Hi WanderingSimmmer​ 

    could you please provide the following info

    • Did you never have mods in or remove them ?
    • Do you just see freezing or does the game also close on it's own ?
    • What type of freeze are you seeing ? There's so many different ones ?
      • Do the Sims/Time freeze but background moves ?
      • Do you get some kind of grey overlay ?
      • Do the Sims freeze but time goes on ?
      • Is it on all households on that save or a particular one ?
