Yay, I have another bug. I swear, I'm upgrading my laptop tomorrow and then this should never happen again, or rarely at least.

I assigned a custom university to a custom neighborhood. I placed lots. I moved one Sim from the main neighborhood to uni and placed her in a dorm. I played her for two days, saved and exited. That was yesterday. Today, I tried to play that particular university and the game froze, IE: it got past the loading screen for the uni sub-hood, then the screen turned black and stayed that way a good ten minutes, with the music still on.

I terminated the game through the task manager, where the status of the application was "Not Responding."

I have a fairly recent backup I can restore from, but before I rewind my neighborhood I wanted to mine my fellow simmers for information. Have any of you had experience with this type of bug? Anyone know what causes this? My instinct is that it's a resources bottleneck, but....
