This doesn't happen all the time but it happens quite often Basically, whenever I queue an action for my Sim to - for example grab a serving - he would go near it but he won't immediately do the act...
I am also having the same problem my sim will be in the middle of an action or about to start a new one and be paused there for almost 30 sim minutes. They will keep blinking and everything else will still be happening like cars driving by and people walking by but my sim will just be stuck and the sim time will still still be going. It takes simple actions very long to do for my sims and it's frustrating.
Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

This has happened to me occasionally since the beginning. The Sim would (very infrequently) just stand there for a moment, but then it would quickly clear itself.
For example: If a Sim was walking towards the bedroom, they might freeze in the doorway, but after the amount of time it would have taken them to get to the bedroom, they would suddenly just "snap" to that location and then be fine.
This happens to my Sims all the time now. I cannot cancel the action from the queue when they freeze either.
