Simulation Lag and Freezing since L&D

Hello, 

I've come across this issue since the L&D update. I've tried taking out mods and cc and the issue persists. I've tried starting a new game and it fixes it for a short amount of time but the longer I play the slower the game gets until its freezing again and I'm back in the same issue. I'm also experiencing the same issue I've seen other describe as lag when clicking on fridge/sim for the pie menu.

When the game freezes/lags it typically happens around the 4am in sim time and I cannot switch between sims/click anything. It will 'unfreeze' for a moment, reset time, and then freeze again seconds later. It's making the game unplayable, with or without mods. 

I've attached  my dxdiag. 

Please help!

    I thought you removed your mods/cc ? You only get the LE without mods as it's related to removed CC.

    Please do test a vanilla game.

    To verify on a vanilla game, move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the following files from your user folder.

    - localthumbcache
    - Any lastException Files
    - Any LastCrash files.

    Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.

    You will need to put this mod in to be able to load the save game: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mod-milestone-81237568 (File 2: CC/Mod Object Fix) but please no other mods than this.

    Hi yes, I've tried both with and without mods and encountered the issue as I said in my original post. I tried another method as I am beginning to think its something related to when sims are sleeping and the time goes 3x speed. I took out the sunrise alarm clock by lot51 and have been playing for a few sim days (making sure sims go to sleep during the time of the issue). So far, the issue has stopped, it still has minor freezes but no more than a few seconds as opposed to the long lengthy freezes before.

    I will continue to monitor over the weekend and see if this continues to "work".
