Open world=Lag
The open world and create a style is part of the reason why sims 3 lagged so much.

I know a lot of people liked create-a-style and open world. However, I was never one of them. I am perfectly happy with 30-45 second loading screen in contrast to the way longer than necessary lag that would sometimes just lead to a crash. I have few fond memories of TS3 and hope that those who prefer it enjoy it. In the meantime, I will enjoy this instalment. :)
