Game clock continously freezes

[Kaye]

For a few days, I've had a problem with the clock in one of my games freezing. It'll work for a short while, then freeze. My sims can still move (albeit a bit slowly; they lag a little) I looked up some solutions online. So far, I've tried:

Deleting the four caches: CASPartCache, compositorCache, scriptCache, simCompositorCache
Resetting the household sims (there's two)
Resetting all the sims in town
Exiting and restarting the game
Moving the sims to a different house
Moving the house entirely to a different lot
Copying the save and using that file
Saving the sims and house to the bin, starting a new game in the same town, and placing them in that one

None of these have worked. The only thing I can think of I haven't done is delete the file entirely, and I really don't want to have it come to that.

If it makes any difference, I don't have any mods installed and my game's updated to the latest patch. It was working fine up until last week.

This may not be your problem, but have you looked at this thread?

Try downloading errortrap and overwatch or removing the tree of prosperity (if you have it).
Other than that, can you play fine in a new game? I'm not saying you'll have to give up on your current save, but it's worth testing in order to work out what's going on.

That does sound like my problem. I will try those solutions.

Something else: I tested two of my other saves. One of my legacies and one I recently started. The legacy file had the issue too, but the recently started one ran pefectly.

EDIT: Got it! I uninstalled the tree of prosperity. It works now!
