IP making sims freeze in action?

Zife wrote:Hello,

Since i installed IP my sims have been freezing randomly, the funny thing about this is that, not all sims/pets are freezing at the same time.
I would descripe it as my sim just stopping and thinking, should i do this? I always happens right before an action and after, often while walking.
I have tried uninstalling IP and that fixed the problem. Installed IP again and removed all CC, does'nt work. Have the latest version of Ultimate Fix & Store Fix, I have NRaas_ErrorTrap which also doesnt seem to affect anything.

I also checked if it worked on other maps, and found out that if IP is installed it just does'nt work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Zife.

Also it happes random while walking but always before for example picking something up and after it is picked up.

Then you can re-start the game. You can for now just go to the main menu, and there you create a NEW savegame (with a new town, with new sims, etc.). What I want to know is if the same happens there.

@cegil99 Thank you for the info, i tried it all, but it had no effect. What i am having is not really the typical lag with sims freezing and animations moving, but more like sim just stopping in motion while all other sims and other stuff keeps moving.

Also the freezing applies to pets!

I have a corrupted save game which makes all my games and stuff freeze, but i would like to fix my save game or maybe save the family and progress to another game. So fixing the corrupted save.

Hello again,

I'm not sure if there are ways to actually "repair" a save, but the following could help you maybe - though it's only an indirect and theoretical possibility:

Go to My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves. There, look for a folder called (Name of your savegame).sims3. Move that folder out, for example onto the desktop. Then look if there is a folder with the name (Name of your savegame).sims3.backup.

If there is a folder like that, remove the ".backup" ending in the folder's name. Then re-start the game.

If there is no such folder, then I don't know what else you could do.

My problem is not having IP installed, but everytime i make a family or move to IP it causes the problem mentioned above. It happens when ever a sims i just about to do something (picking stuff up, talking with other, sitting down and so on). This problem tho affects all save games, not just the one in IP but if i close the game and delete the save everything goes back to normal. I have overwatch and errortrap also have all the content (but i dont think this is the problem since all other worlds are fine)

Would really like this fixed. xD
Hope you can help.

Hello,

If you want, try lowering your in-game graphics settings a bit. When you install the latest vesion of NRAAS Master Controller too, there's an option, when you click on the town hall logo, to "reset everything". The option is in NRAAS -> Master Controller -> Town -> Reset everything.

Other than that, I'm afraid I have no other explanations...
