Like MV...more like love MV, LOL. I tested all evening. I've got sims in the medical; law enforcement; business and science careers. I've been to almost every park and all the clubs, library, grocery store, mall etc.. I haven't played as any of the Ambitions professions, though.
The world continues to run smooth as can be and I don't have a ton more area to cover. I saw one strange routing thing but it's probably not the world but the way EA routes sims. I had a sim eat at the mall. When she was done, she stood up and proceeded to walk down the stairs and out the door. Getting to a corner of the bldg., she turned around, went back inside, walked back up the stairs and over to the sink area that was only a few feet from her to begin with. I just shook my head. She is the only sim I've had eat there so far, so I don't know yet if that is a one time thing, or will reoccur. I'll try with a different sim tomorrow.
I've got one more family I want to change to for a few sim days and need to take a trip to test the exit from and return to MV goes smoothly. Then, if all is still running smoothly, I would like to add the ST venues to see how MV behaves with them in place.
I feel like any type of severe routing issue would have reared its head by now. I feel confident enough with MV's integrity to try with those venues in. I think now it's just finding the small things for polish, like lot descriptions and the unfinished wall Rukaya found. I will most certainly keep checking for all those little details. If you prefer that I don't add the ST venues for a bit longer, or until you're ready to release, just lmk.
I don't mean to jump the gun but I've had some minor lag in SS, which I think is caused from sims getting stuck until they work out the problem and it unfreezes. It could be just NPC's all trying to exit from somewhere at the same time. There is no pattern that I can discern, i.e. always at the same time, or, freezing of the same length of time. I'm very curious as to how a larger, smooth running world is going to respond with those venues added. DM's GFH revamp of Longview and MVII are the two worlds I now have installed that I want to play hard and see what happens as population builds.
LOL, this post is longer than I inteneded. *Face Palm*, "wordy" DD seems to have returned :oops:
