The only tuning mod I seem to have is the one namaradus suggested- No imaginary friends. I also have the "no intro" mod but that hasn't caused me any problems before. I still haven't tried playing on a new world though. I'll try right now using a different family.

Okay, I was playing in Isla-Paradiso with a new sim and at 5:30 the game froze for a while.. and then unfroze!!! There were a whole bunch of unemployed sims getting jobs all at the same time! So, I'm wondering if that is what's happening in my original save.. I'm not too sure though.
I'm just relieved that the freeze isn't happening in all my saves!

IP is the worst map you can pick from, though pretty, EA rushed the map for the EP release and left plenty of things on that map bugged:
- General Routing issue (can be fixed with Ellacharmed WorldFile fixes over at MTS)
- Routing Issue on Wildlife
- Houseboats are pretty bugged
- Some say Mist on Hidden spots cause lag
- Some houses needs to be destroyed or fixed

If you aren't against Custom Maps, there are plenty Island maps made, you can find them over here: <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Worlds+Reco ... Members</a>

Example: Enekjaerd Island, Sunset Island, Mariners Reach, etc.

Yes, it was very laggy. But I'm glad it at least worked. I'll be looking into those maps, then! Thank you!

The OW error is not causing issues but is possibly being caused by a Sim in town that has data corruption. Unfortunately it doesn't say which one but I will plug the code to skip any such Sims it finds.
