Hmm... there is no guarantee b/c it is part of the shabby programming of TS3. However, it should also not be a real issue. I mean, it should happen very very very rarely. If you are getting it constantly? It is likely either the world you are playing in has routing issues or you have some bad mods.

Either way you should keep your game clean with NRAAS errortrap, Kuree's savegame cleaner, and overwatch to reset stuck sims. This keeps your game running smooth.

But on the front page, you notice someone recently created a game smoothing mod by increasing the TPS of the game. Many, including myself, have noticed this reducing hiccups and idle/stuck sims. I think one of the primary reasons for such game freezes and crashes is b/c of system bottleneck from running a slow TPS, which so many stuck sims and sim commands get bottlenecked it eventually freezes while trying to resolve the conflict. This can be somewhat confirmed in the fact these permanent freeze/crashes typically happen during faster game speed such as speed 3/4 sometimes 2. It rarely happens on live mode speed 1.

In such case, I would highly recommend downloading that mod and give it a whirl. But other than that, there are times some bad error occurs and the game is stuck, it increase if you have poorly programmed mods.


would that include deleting All of the game cashes,. instead of deleting the cashe i actually need,.?

Kuree's Save Cleaner is a program you run to clean your save games. It only works for 1.67, so if you are on 1.69 you can try Regul's Save Cleaner.
