Game freezes in Riverview?
« on: May 06, 2012, 06:27:02 PM »
When I play in Riverview, my game will occasionally freeze for a minute or two and then unfreeze. But when I play in other towns, this doesn't happen and the game runs smoothly. It's only in Riverview.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?
The outside is quiet, but the inside is on full blast.

Sounds like it could be a stuck sim somewhere.  Have you tried to reset all the sims with resetsim * ?  If that doesn't work, this is probably beyond my ken. :)

I always have problems with Barnacle Bay, but not Riverview.

I've had that problem.  I thought it might be due to my computer being so weak in the area of video card; I have just the basic card.

I had to delete one family which was permanently stuck, which ticked me off.  I hadn't saved them in any backup files and ended up having to delete the town. 
I've had it in SV and in AP, but not as bad, just for a second a couple of times.  In Riverview, it was constant with that one family. 

I've just started to save often, with the backup in case I have to delete that play time.

I've heard that Riverview and Barnacle Bay like to get freezy. Never played in either, but I will be having a story there soon so I hope it doesn't get too bad. :-\

Have you tried what CSquared suggested about the ResetSim * yet?

Played Riverview before and hated the issues with it. It does not work well, too many issues with it. I removed it from my game even though I paid for it.

Umm, Riverview is a free download, you can get it as long as you register your base game.
