I think there is a lot to be said for having hardware which is up to coping with the game, all it's packs, store content cc etc. Far too many players, including me have seriously underestimated this fundamental requirement. Yes it can make the game expensive to play but that is better than sitting in front of a burnt out laptop having pushed the hardware to way beyond it' optimal performance. I have also found making sure the graphics setting are adjusted properly makes rendering quicker and reduces stuttering. Also having adequate cooling.
As for the actual coding g I can't comment but if you accept no game is ever perfect and that EA is unlikely to go back to fix known problems then it makes sudden irritating disruptions easier to accept. If that fails threatening to chuck the laptop out the bedroom window also aids performance :D Seriously after nearly ten years there isn't much the TS3 community hasn't seen that can't be fixed or modded. If all else fails switch the machine off. Go drink a beverage of choice and chill for a while. Then try again.
