How to Stop Sims 3 from Freezing

The Sims 3 glitch where it starts freezing up can be frustrating. Here are some ways to fix this problem.

Steps

1
Restart your computer. Don't worry about the progress you've made in Sims 3. Most will be saved and all not saved can be done again. After all, why even play it if it's not fun to do this stuff?
2
Once your computer is restarted, go back on Sims 3. Do not put up any Internet tabs before you go on without closing them. Too many tabs up at a time could make your computer unresponsive.
3
Once you're back up and playing again, try to avoid getting too many members in the family.
4
Don't minimize the Sims 3 tab to go on other tabs. Bringing it down and up too much can make it glitch up and freeze.
5
Do not try restarting your computer too many times. Restarting it too much when it freezes could close down some important things like Anti-virus programs and firewalls.
6
Try upgrading your Internet browser. If you use Internet Explorer, switch to Internet Explorer 9.
7
If all else fails, try consulting a computer and electronics professional
