It is not a super big deal but if there is a fix for it I thought I would ask. My game stops or seems to stop, hang up for a few seconds, and I was wondering if this is a glitch, maybe due to CC? I am testing it now with out any CC so I will update soon as to if that fixed the issues. While I am testing that I am wondering if the lag/hang up is a known issue?

The best cure for lag seems to be to run with Origin offline. You might also look at turning off background tasks that could interfere.
Also please "saves as", for some reason just saving can make some people lose their save file and cause other issues.
What are your specs?
I am going to try playing offline to see if that makes a difference. And is there a way to turn off the auto save?
Definitely not for nothing! Autosave is basically an emergency backup, and not a reliable one. The most reliable thing to do, by all reports, is to use Save As regularly and don't touch "Save and Exit".
Those are superb specs, so its more than likely not your PC. Remove your cc, and try a full clean reinstall.

I read elsewhere that the cause of this is the game going to grab a bunch of notices about who's uploading and favoriting what creations etc. I really wish it wouldn't do that. If I want to browse the gallery then fine but when I'm playing the game I'm not interested in looking for content at that moment.
You ARE supposed to use " Save As", the save option is bugged, and you're essentially risking losing all your progress. I always save as, and backup my files, you'd be wise to consider the same.
> I never use save as.. always just use save.. I think a simguru said to use the SAVE. only use the save as if you want to create a new save.
That is why you use save as. By making new save files you create the ability to return to an earlier save should the current save/game becomes borked. By simply using save all the time, you simply overwrite the old files, thus removing the ability to go back in time to avoid problems, and should the save process cause corruptions, like it would in TS3, you don't have a fallback.
As TS4 is devoid of any real game play, having multiple saves to revert to may not be as big a deal as it was/is with TS3.

When the game phones home like that, I wonder what other details it is sending to EA?
Too many saves will eventually bog down the game.
And yes turning off online features does seem to help performance.
