Open world=Lag

So open world causes lag yet I have just filled a night club with 40 Sims (In TS3) as well as a few NPCs and not one bit of stuttering and when I hit save, it saved in under a minute.

Its all about your PC, if you have a good PC (One from after 2010) you wont have these issues. EA should have sussed this out by now

Look at these low graphics on the Sims 4! You really think that Open World and CaSt would make Sims 4 lagged so much? No.

With Open World and CASt, Sims 4 should be a VERY BETTER game.
Here, it's a Flop game, a shame for true sims fans.

This just in, if you like the sims 4 you aren't a true fan... more at 11.

Lol, please.

I said that in another thread. I am offended that because I like 4 that it seems I am not a true sims fan. Horse-patooty. It's the only game I play.

Just read the OP so I'm sure I repeat many, but how come then my S3 game isn't lagging on my three years old computer?

I would like some tips then :)

Out of the box, it's laggy.
Open world obviously take more process power (that's a fact).
But some stuff in TS3 lacks optimization as well.

I hardly started ts3 since i have ts4. Can't stand the long loading times :(

Ever heard of NRaas mods? They saved my game's plum.

A company shouldn't rely on mods. They should fix it themselves.

I completely agree, but what are you gonna do. It's the same case with TS4, too.

I haven't used mods for any of my sims games. I have less issues with 4.

By mods I meant the one that fixes the aging glitch, since EA apparently didn't bother to do so.

Was there an aging glitch in 3? I never noticed. lol

I meant the one from TS4. Shimrod's mod. :p

Is there an aging glitch in 4? I never noticed. lol

The "wide jaw, small eyes" glitch.

It all depends on the interpretation you doing with my answer, and interpretation you doing about being a sim fan/true fan.

K, thanks.

No he could very well mean that its a shame for you too... more pot stirring at 11.

Oh. I still haven't seen it. But then, I just play the game.

@KhyanLeikas

You've had this coming a long time... You're awesome, I like that :D

The computer I play on is not high-end, but considering I have seven or more EPs for the Sims 3 and the only one that really struggles is Island Paradise... it's doing just fine with Open World. It does "buffer" occasionally when my Sims are running across town or when I am constantly fast-forwarding through things, but other than that- it's perfectly fine and has little to no problems. My games however crash recently after a little while of playing (2 or so hours). I think it may be a problem with the installments so I think I will re-install and continue on with my life and hope for the best. The Sims 4 doesn't have Open World so the thread is really kind of irrelevant, but there is lag still, because of the top-notch graphics. It's not nearly as bad, but that's because there is absolutely nothing really happening in the game. Ever.

*Also, just to pipe in on the last few comments... I don't think people who like Sims 4 are not true "Simmers." I do think a lot of the fan base may be new or newer users, but it stands that many people who have played the games for years don't like the new version. I think it is mostly because of instead of being more, it ended up being a bit less and now we're all looking forward to EPs that will eat away at our wallets. I feel like I am not a true fan because I don't like TS4, lol. I wanted to and I think there are still enjoyable aspects, but if open world means lag, then I'll take the lag.* :wink:

Same with other players out there. Believe it or not, there might even be a simmer who has never experienced glitches, lag, and crashes in SIms 3. Glitches don't define a game. It's the content the game has to offer.

It doesn't matter how much content a game has if it keeps crashing.

Well it doesn't crash for everyone. I'd prefer a crash every 3 hours to playing Sims 4 for 5 minutes.
