More Awesome Than You!

I've got WA installed. I did a clean installation and have patch 1.7 whatever. I can save the game no problem. I just can't move sims from the clipboard to a new house after I evict them. I can't move newly created sims into lots. The game doesn't freeze, per se, you just get the swirly moving in animation and that's it. I left the game alone for a half-hour to see if time was an issue but apparently not. Makes no difference if it's an old town or a newly created one, if it's with or without CC. Nothing makes a difference. Anyone else having this issue? I'm really fed up. *sigh*
