Bridgeport is a great city, but I suffer from lag spike
( an unnatural freezing situation (likely occurs in bridgeport which occurs in several minutes cycle, players are still able to move their mouse in a limited area (the screen), several animation (trees, the green thing over the sims, sounds, effects) still moving, the sound/music still working, but the player can't give command and all the sims are just freezing for a couple second)

Steps that I've done:

-Read The mod the sims wiki
-Cooling device
-Master Controller - Reset Everything, Disable "memorable" memories
-Overwatch - Stuck check, Reset check, clean vehicle, and so on
-Compress package file
-Error trap
-Delete all files in my documents/electronic arts/sims 3/ everything with "cache" word
-Ellacharm3d's Bridgeport routing fix (smooth the game, but no elixir for lag spikes)

More Info
-The population of the town is 262(service sims included)...the playable is just 131, but when i execute remove homeless, only two sims are kicked out
-Without the lag, the game run smooth, just like in other town
-All expansion are installed and updated till v 1.31....v 1.33 is rumored "scary"
-Saved game day : I used twallan's relativity with interval speed of time is set to 10 (which is 0.27 times from the original speed) for 2 sims day

Your best bet is to find out what is causing the lag. Sims can get stuck in all manner of places, and Twallan's Overwatch can help diagnose that:

Thanks for help, I manage to do the method and found several Egyptian freaks stuck at the hidden room of the plasma 501, after I kill them, the game went smooth
