Yep. I'm having the same problem. Except going to main menu doesn't seem to fix anything and I don't experience any crashes.

Yeah, I'm playing at a low resolution and I've always kept the detailed lots at one. My computer can definitely run the sims pretty well as this problem only happens with awesomemod installed. When i take it out, things run fine. It's weird, awesomemod had been good to me until i updated it.

I used to hate the 1am freeze but now i almost wish i had it instead of what's going on in my game now. I'm at a loss as to why my game is lagging so bad. I've gotten some tips in the bug thread like "towderelicts" and even creating a new hood at the possibility that my hood was corrupt but nothing seems to be working. I don't even bother playing the sims 3 right now. It's at like 3ps, lol. I don't want to play The Sims 3 without Awesomemod... It just improves on so much.
