Sims 3 Worlds with Least Lag
Which worlds have the least lag when playing in them? Do you install all your packs, or only some of them? I heard the game runs better with less packs/worlds installed, but I am still learning wh...

Worlds will all lag at some time or another. Sometimes, for no reason, sims just get stuck. @Rflong7 's worlds are usually peak performers, but even in one of those I had a sim become impaled on a fence one day which slowed the world to a crawl. I don't know why, the game just spawned him there. It doesn't happen often at all but it does happen.
I find smaller worlds usually run the best. Also worlds without copious amounts of vegetation tend to run nicely. Builds can also lag the game as well, as illustrated by EA's offerings in IP where toilets and showers have been placed the wrong way around.
After personal issues with houses that were built with CFE where sims got stuck in walls or walked up and down invisible staircases, I avoid those like the plague too. I don't download houses that use CC, and I don't normally download worlds with CC either. The only exception I made for that is CAWBlog's worlds.
Be discerning with your content downloads. Don't try to cram gigs and gigs of CC into your game if you're using an older computer. You'd be surprised how many people scream about the game being laggy, buggy and horrible, yet they've downloaded 10 gigs of CC onto a PC that should be classified as a fossil.
Those are just my steps I take to have a game that runs well. You'll eventually learn what works for you and your game personally.
