Thread concerning the lagging issue. Things to try are lowering graphics and removing things from Sims' inventories.
Concerning the refrigerators, try restarting your computer/Origin, and repairing the game. Another suggestion is to open the save and then exit game without saving.
Poor Bartenders though... I haven't heard of this issue before. You can use testingcheats > right-click bar > reset, but I don't know if it'll help. Are you still having that issue?
sorry for taking so long to reply to your suggestions. the refrigerators are still not working. i did come out of game, removed all mods and cc, repaired the game went back in and moved to a new house and same thing. i took the refrigerator out of the house and set it outside, bought a new house, and forget that i did not delete the other one outside, but when i clicked on the one outside it worked fine and that seems to be the case. they work fine outside, simply not inside. it is only with those refrigerators. i will try the bar one and see if that helps, but i notice that it is only happening with the elders that tend bar. I am still having a problem with the suspended animation, but i noticed others are having the same issue, if it was not a big issue i wouldn't bother, but it interferes when i am having a party, or on a date, because they take so long to do one thing i end up running out of time and not able to complete any of actions to get silver or gold.
