I got a brand new gaming laptop, but the game seems to stop for a minute or two in real life and then start but it's a constant now, I did have nraas but took it out to see if that was the problem and it wasn't. I only have about 10 pieces of CC (all from safe creators - lemonleaf, nightcrawler, paintstroke & ace creators), 1 house which I made (has no cc at all) and there's a bit of store items which I don't think can affect my game so much. Just tried without custom content and did the same thing.
I don't want to touch anything that I shouldn't to help sort the problem out lol.

A previous save of the same game has been find and a new game in a different world was also fine as well, just for some reason the game a bit further on has decided to corrupt itself or something.

Please check your in-game framerates as well. Bring up the cheats console (crtl-shift-C) and enter "fps on" without quotes. A number will appear in the upper right corner, and it should never go above 120, the refresh rate of your monitor, or whatever limit you've set if you've done so manually. If it's too high or fluctuating wildly, that can also cause lag, among other things. But it's simple enough to fix. The first step to try would be enabling v-sync in the built-in Nvidia Control Panel. Instructions are here, with a screenshot under the first spoiler:

Be sure to use TS3.exe for an Origin install, but TS3W.exe for a disc or Steam install.
If this isn't the issue either, there are NRaas mods you can use to try to reset the world and clean up save corruption. ErrorTrap and Overwatch will run their cleanup routines on their own; MasterController allows you to manually run a reset on just about anything, from a single object or sim to the entire world; Register and Traffic clean up other issues related to role sims and vehicles; Traveler fixes the broken travel transition with one that works. You can find them all here:

In case you don't already know how to install mods, this is a good tutorial:

I put errortrap in at first along with master controller and it did help with cleaning up 3 sims that were constanly getting errors, along with my sim as she got stuck trying to go to a party. Will have a look at traffic as that helped a lot when I last played sims 3, I think I worry about breaking this laptop along with wanting to play how I used to with mods and cc annd not breaking the game lol.

It was every few seconds but thanks to the saver I had a previous save before it started having issues which i'm grateful for so it's not a total loss this time around.
