@puzzlezaddict I took out the folder and played the game again and it worked fine, build and buy had absolutely no lag at all and was fine.

@jazzmiint  It could be either one, to be honest.  The only real way to find out is to test.  You can copy your Saves folder from the old Sims 3 folder to the new one and see how Build/Buy works in your existing saves.  Since you're not bringing any other content with the saves themselves, that's a useful test to distinguish between an issue with other content and with the save itself or the world it's in.
