Game freezes when Sims try to move out?
« on: April 06, 2013, 08:14:15 PM »
So, I was recently playing my writer sim, and on a trip to Egypt she discovered a genie lamp. Well, I decided to release the genie, thus adding it to my household. I then decided to move the genie out, and sent the genie to my sim's computer. Well, I was able to split the house, moving the genie out while keeping my sim at her house (and as the active household.) The normal stuff came up, saying it was "Processing", but then my game froze. And by froze, I mean I walked away thinking it would just take a while and two hours later it was still "processing."
Now this has happened once before, when my sim was trying to move in with the Alto family, but I dismissed it, since it was the first time it happened, and I really didn't care too much about the save it happened on.

So is there anything I can do to keep this from happening again?

I had the same problem.  You're probably not going to like the solution I finally found: upgrade your machine & get more RAM.

Oh. The RAM I can probably fix-I just need to delete games that I don't play anymore.

I guess I'll just avoid splitting households via moving. That seems to trigger the issue, as I've had single sims move without trouble.
