I have all EPS installed, except IP.
I miss a lot of the features from it like the resorts, scuba diving, and mermaids, but just having it installed made my game lag horribly.I'd have an awful frame rate and crashed all the time---and this was before I knew about CC or mods! Islo Paradiso was never really used either.
I can definitely live without those features in my game considering I haven't had it on my hard drive for over 3 years, but hearing everyone's IP stories makes me want to try it again!
Should I take the risk and install it again? :s ;) I'm looking for all types of opinions here!
There's no point installing something that you can't even enjoy to its fullest. No point overworking your computer which usually may cause it a shorter lifespan as well. Or so that's my opinion. But if you get a capable computer later that can handle it all...sure. I think IP is an amazing EP and adds a lot to gameplay plus Isla Paradiso is a beautiful world to explore.

Edit: There does seem to be a few issues with some of the lots in Isla Paradiso and I read more often than not the world runs poorly. Though, I don't believe it is the world itself but there are some troublesome lots it seems. Otherwise, I suspect even with the fix it could still run badly if the computer is not capable in the first place since the EP does add a new method of routing/mode of transportation. And as far as I know, routing has always been the weakest element of all Sims games. Except TS4 because I don't even consider that a true sequel nor is routing its weakest element.
Back to the purpose of this edit.
Isla Paradiso's World Fix for lag/stutter/freezing.
I had the same problem and I solved it. All you ned to do is go to edit town and delete some houses. You need to delete houses of the households below:
Ichtaca
Scott
Los Amigos
Medina
If it still lags, then remove those houses as well:
The Romantic
The Prince
Just delete those houses and move sims living in them somewhere else. Or just delete the sims as well.
I hope this helped.

After following that above I recorded this video some time ago.

There is also a world fix you can download here: http://modthesims.info/d/514909/islaparadiso-world-with-fixes-applied-update-2013-11-29.html
Personally, that did nothing to solve the lag, stutter or freezing. However, some has said it helped them.
