sims 2 blue screen and hourglass trouble?

Question

My game starts out normally but sometimes during gameplay, i do a sudden movement such as rotate or save the game stops and the screen turns to that popular sim light blue and the hour glass starts. i can always tell when its about to happen because it stalls for a few secs then the screen comes up. i can still hear music in the background (if i had it on) and it continues on normally. sometimes the game continues after 5-10mins or even worse it turns completely black and the screen flickers off and on which makes me have to manually shut the computer down.

Answer 1

ok

Answer 2

You should go to (Mod the Sims) for help on this.

My thoughts are that you probably downloaded a virus in your extras.

If this problem has been happening since install then it's probably lack of ram/processing units.
