I just started a town out of the gate deleting the Scott family, there is no Scott family, I'm in a house...
Hi bmashland,
never delete premade sims, this will disturb the structure of the world even more.
To reduce the lag in Isla Paradiso, you need to move four families into new homes and then tear down their old houses/houseboats:
-the Scotts
-Rubisel Ichtaca ("The Prince")
-Los Amigos
-Medina
Let them move into free houses on the main island, there are plenty of them.
If you want to improve things even further, go to the big Ichtaca castle, delete the arch in front of the door and set the door as front door.
If you have ITF and play on a houseboat, look carefully on which community lot the portal appears. It may block doors or passages.
This should help a lot with the lag. My Isla Paradiso runs almost as smooth as Appaloosa Plains.
