Just recently I started to play the Sims 3 and had no problems of crashing or freezing. Whenever the clock in game reaches 12:05 AM the game all the sims freeze but the environment continues to do whatever it's doing (For example the trees will still move). I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. I have tried changing households but am still having the same problem no matter what the sims are doing. Please help

I don't have any mods or CC. I went to force quit but The Sims 3 isn't shown as Not Responding. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.
Thank You
I have every expansion. Didn't start til I got Generations.
Oh also, this isn't really a problem, but every time I saved and quit or saved lately, it says the grim reaper has come to collect a member of my household. But he still didn't do it and that was like 4 sim days ago (before the freezing started). But it still says that if I save at a random time during the day.
I really wish there was a fix of some sort?
Only things I can think of is Deathfish, ghosts(Amb) & Unicorns(Pets).
Anyone think of other activities that happen at that time of night?
Game lag usually means over taxed computer. Someone/thing has gotten stuck(routing)
You could try looking for trapped Sim or just reset town.
resetsim*
It will send every Sim in world to reset position, usually in front of house.
If you had RW time specific game lag it would probably be something running in the background on your computer.
Virus scan, Overwatch(Mod), automatic updating or something like that.
Lag sucks. :?
well kinda
what i did was i copied my houshold and all the other households i made onto my library. then i started a new game, and it didn't glitch anymore. worked for me.
this doesnt exactly solve the problem, but it works.
hopes this solves ur problem
Try his Overwatch first and if that doesn't solve your problem then add Error Trap. You don't need Master Controller to run those, and some folks have experienced lag with his latest version of MC. (I'm sure he'll update that after his holiday break, he's very fast). And, please do read his site, including the fine print. It contains pretty much everything you need to know. Including how to install package files. Hope that helps!

[edit]Here's another most excellent resource for any game issues or questions you may be having:

I start a new game with it, and it makes it to the first monday night in the game, and sometime between 8 and 9pm the game locks up. Time freezes but music and weather still play.
I have tried everything. With mods, without mods, used nraas MC to reset the town right at 8pm.. nothing works.
So now I just made a new Dragon Valley Game. And it still does the same issue, right during the same hour and same day.
What on earth could be spawning or getting stuck right after 8pm on the first monday of each new game?
So far, Dragon Valley to me has been unplayable. I can't make it the first few days without it freezing. Starting over from scratch does not even help.
Very frustrated right now.
