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

Disagree. I have a 4 year-old computer and suffer no lag in The Sims 3. Because the lag is inconsistent across the user base, it cannot be the game that causes it. I believe the degree of lag depends on processor speed, available ram, graphic card, and the number of services that are running in the background.

I also believe that lag was not a issue until users started trying to play TS3 on laptops. It is my opinion that laptops are not powerful enough to run a desktop program. I have heard people say that they have a gaming laptop, but I dare to say there is no such thing. Laptops are not designed for desktop gaming. They do not have comparable processing/graphic power.

It is my believe they left out open world and CaSt is because they are heavy users of RAM and Processing power. It was necessary to "dumb down" the programming to allow laptop gamers to play without lag. Just my opinion...no one is required to agree.
