Hi, is there *anything* I can do about this idiotic slo mo?
? Every single time a sim goes to sleep or gets up or whatever else the dumb game goes into slo mo!!! It's driving me crazy! This is a recent development and I'm thinking that somebody at the headquarters thought that the slo mo was the "very best way to play" or something like that. I like playing on fast. I dont' appreciate slo mo being forced on me! That's what the speed buttons are supposedly for, for people to choose which speed they want.

1. Start a completely new game.
2. Move household to new game.
3. Try playing in a smaller house that isn't full of stuff. As a fully furnished/decorated house will cause lag and freezing.
4. Clear out some of your Sim's personal inventory, if overloaded. As having a lot of things in their inventory is known to cause lag, and game glitches.
5. If problem started after you've downloaded something from gallery, remove those items. - Start with the most recent file you downloaded, and go from there.
6. If/when freezing happens save your game using Save As. Give it a new name. Exit game and then try loading the game again.
7. Lower Graphics settings
8. Run a Clean Boot as this will help with stopping any other programs from interfering.

11. If playing with game mods and/or custom content try playing the game without it, and if it works well without. Try going through those mods to see which one maybe conflicting with the game.
