Nitrozem In the new save, did you use existing sims or an existing build from your library or the Gallery? If so, please test with fresh sims and either a new build you make right now or a default EA build.
If that doesn't help, let me know whether it makes a difference how zoomed in you are, or where the camera is focused, or anything else more specific than just this lot. The horse or sim approaching is interesting but shouldn't be a problem by itself... but maybe there's a routing issue the game is trying to resolve, or something else similarly difficult to find.
It was completely fresh sims on the default build for that lot, yes. I was zoomed into my lot and zoomed out a couple times but nothing changed. The fps returned to normal while the time was paused but when I resumed time it would drop back down. It only ever resolved itself when I saw that sim and horse despawn
Something else I forgot to mention; One time while it was happening, I tried to go to manage worlds (without saving) to see if that did anything but I was stuck in an infinite load screen.
I've never had this problem anywhere else, it only happens on that lot or in that neighborhood but I haven't tried to trigger it on one of the smaller lots there. I assumed it was something with mods/cc the last few times it happened. So when I did decide to play there recently and the issue started up again, I decided to test it without mods with new sims on a new save just to see if it was my mods/cc. It wasn't so I figured I'd post about it here.
I figured it was specific routing or a bug with the simulation (which is why I initially posted this in bug reports) I'm not sure why the FPS drops though. Usually when the simulation locks up for me, the sims just don't move but the FPS is unaffected and a simple reboot fixes the problem. No FPS issues in the game besides that.
Thank you for the reply, let me know if you want me to try something else in game.
