How to Enter Cheats for The Sims 3 on PC While playing the game, display the cheat console with the following keyboard shortcuts: For Windows, press Ctrl + Shift + C simultaneously. The Sims 3 freezes after a few seconds of gameplay on 10.7.1 Lion, but in the new build of 10.7.2, it works perfectly as Apple updated the graphic drivers. Firmware updates do address the issues pertaining to drivers, fan speeds, etc. You can always update your Mac from the Software Update available under the Apple menu.

I don't know much about the eternal workings of a computer, but I did find some information that might help.

I am not signing in. i don't 98% of the time i play offline but sometimes while I am playing in live mode in the game, (controlling the family) the game will freeze but more often when I am building the home..
and I cant figure out what is causing the freezing. never had any problems when I bought the game. (only new games)
(2 people responded 39 people ease dropped, help is difficult to find! lol)

i wonder if the update game patch and the store patch that make you download mandatory is causing my game to freeze?
i have un-stall and re-stall but still have the same problem.
i think my problems are coming from the mandatory store and update game patch. (causing a lot of problems to the supernatural game) never before though.

Clearing cache files before starting can help. In 'Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3', look for files with 'cashe' - CASPPartCache.package, compositorCache.package, scriptCache.package, simCompositorCache.package, and socialCache.package - these can all be deleted. They will be remade as needed.
Next, do check system requirements. Even if you meet them, you can get lag. I do, since installing Island Paradise, and am well within specs across the board. Adjusting graphics settings in-game to 'medium' instead pf :high' can help as well, though you'll have to restart after doing this. The 'specs' listed don't really mean much anymore.
Finally, shut down anything you don't need running before launching the game. Sidebar, web pages, various program updates, etc. The game eats a LOT of resources, and minimizing what is in use can make a difference. I have to do that with 8GB of ram. Insane, I know!
Hopefully, this will help.
Yes, I own the store!!

There is at least one mod that i do recommend getting for a smoother game and that's Overwatch by NRaas as it eliminates a lot of clutter (mostly cars).
My game will freeze at 4am as the dawn approaches but it's not an eternal freeze, there is a thaw within a few minutes. If i install the one with fireflies (Generations?) then it will often do a panic attack at dusk while switching out bug types.
