Default Game keeps freezing
My game keeps freezing up for a few seconds at a time like a buffering Youtube video. It is driving me up the wall. I've tried lowering the graphics and clearing the caches and nothing.

I've got one or two things on MTS, but most of my stuff is on my main site here:

@StrangeTownChick refer to http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=610641 for more info about 4GB patch.



There's no drama, like Sims drama.

Currently Playing: Sims 2 again!

Tell me, did you record your gameplay in any way? Try the best screen recorder, in my opinion, of course. Analyze the recording, sometimes it allows you to understand why the game slows down - sometimes artifacts on the recording speak of a particular problem, for example, with a video card, which may be too new to play.

at times other applications/processes running might cause freezing.

Can you pinpoint these freeze-up times to specific game events? Sometimes when a number of Sims show up at one time (like for the welcome wagon, a birthday party or wedding), when a Sim gains or loses a suntan/sunburn or when snow is accumulating/melting the game can delay in order to process/draw those changes.

It would help even more to let us know what your computer is, OS system, memory, and graphics card. I agree with others that it might be something else running in the background that's eating your resources for the game. Check the Task Manager to see what it is. Besides the 4gb patch, there is also a stand-by memory fix for Windows. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/...rs_on_creators/ If you have Anti-Virus software, it could be running scans while the game is playing. Or, you could have hack conflicts in the game. Run the Hack Conflict detector to see if there are any http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2063
