asking myself why did i ever buy 286 items from the sims 3 store.

trying to download everything and the download dashboard is sooooooooooo slooooow.
im over an hour atleast and only at about 70. ugh

OMG you are so lucky lol i had to download the whole store and back everything up once for my digital game then again on another laptop using the S3 disc version of the game because after I decided to play the disc version on a seperate hard drive I had no clue that digital versions of the store downloads will not work with the disc game haha I nearly went insane-)

IP is one of my most favorite worlds but without following some of the instructions on Ciane's site to alleviate the lag and using several NRASS mods it would have been quite unplayable for me even on my pretty decent desktop build. You can fit in most showtime lots if you use player made lots that fit in with the world for example I use a live venue version of the paradiso pub in the square and have added a beachy looking dive bar on surf Island and a nightclub houseboat with casino objects so it can be done so it can be done if you choose your lots carefully.

@ciane also remade several IP lots that that caused bugs and lag that can be found in her studio as follows:

I also have a ton of player made CC free lots saved and backed up for many worlds including IP so if you are looking for anything specific i may be able to help but am not promising as your idea of what you might like placed in IP may not be mine :)
