Are there particular graphics settings that can make the game run faster?

If "new version of SV" means SV2020, that runs even better than the original, mostly because it uses a fixed world as basis. During the phase where role sims are assigned, there may be some choppiness involved, which should disappear after a short while.

Of course, if ellacharmed's fixed world was installed correctly, that one would be used in a "new game" start, anyway. Which should eliminate all potential drag by too many role objects.
