Anything concerning sims seem to be delayed on lots with large amount of sims on Speed 3.

We address them as we encounter them, and it's always helpful to have saves that exhibit the problem. If you could post your save with as much detail about how to reproduce the issue as possible that would help.

Hey @simmythesim,

I did some testing but could not reproduce the issue, but am on a machine that is a bit better than yours. Will try on a couple other machines when I get the chance.

As for CPU usage: If you are looking at the single number reported by the Windows Task Manager that is not telling you the full story since the game is running on multiple cores, and the single number is an aggregate. If you grab something like process explorer, it will allow you to see each core's utilization.

When you say "large number" are you talking about the maximum the game normally allows, or do you have a mod increasing the number of sims on the lot? Cos I guess EA can't be responsible for lags and glitches caused by play outside their design spec.
