Is there an insimenator for Sims 3? If so, where?

I just built a new house for a family I created. I moved them to the lot but I noticed that the loading of the family froze. I had to restart my computer. When I went into the game, the family was moved to the new house/lot, but when I open the lot to play, all the sims are frozen and the time doesn't move from 8:00 am. I can use each one pie menus but nothing moves.
Do you think when I moved them to the lot, because it froze during the move now the lot is defunct?

I thought I read somewhere, if your pets relationship was high they would breed and make babies and you could sell them. How do you get your pets relationship high or breed them if you can't control them? It's not a pie menu choice?
