Sims freeze, but animations continue!?

Well, here is my problem:
My game loads up perfectly, and plays with almost no lag. But, everytime I play, it eventually freezes. This can happen four minutes into the game, or four hours into it. It has no certain time frame. It only lags, right before it freezes, so usually I will know when it is about to freeze so that way I can save my game. When it freezes, my sims stay completely still, and I cannot access buy/build mode or click anywhere. But my cursor, tv, music, plumbob, etc all keep on moving.
I've tried deleting all my CC and Store content, and then reinstalling only what I want (which trust me, is a very small amount compared to what I had before). I use alot of NRAAS mods, such as Overwatch, Story Progression, Master Controller, and Career. I only have Store content and the rest is from TSR (which I've never had a problem with).
I'm running:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
HP Pavilion g7 notebook
AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon HD graphics
4.00 GB RAM (with 3.48 usable)
and 300GB of memory left.

GPU: 5 GPU Memory: 4 CPU: 1 RAM: 4 CPU Speed: 1497 Threading: 3
Adjusted CPU: 1596 RAM: 3561 Adjusted RAM: 3049 Cores: 4
I have all expansions and stuff packs.
I run my graphics high, but keep my tree detail and things like that low. I also have my refresh rate at the default, not 60. I don't have many .package files either.
Any ideas?

Did you add your games to the DEP? Try this topic.
Also, try to run the game as Administrator.
