When it happens, I've found, save the game and go to edit neighborhood. Then go back to the sim. It wakes them up. If they start echoing, it's best to exit game and start again. After hours of game play, it starts to lag. Reboot.
I can usually get mine going by just clicking on the "manage worlds" icon and then canceling. But other times I have to save and go to manage worlds and then go back in.
I've noticed also that I have this problem more when everyone's home (I currently have a six sim, two cat household) than when the kids are at school or adults at work.
