How do you make your big houses playable?
I've asked in the past about what to void of build elements to limit lag on larger lots, so that's not what I'm asking now. I just would like to know how big mansions/castles you actually play without...

If you're playing on an HDD, installing the game on an SSD really helps with lag. Like, a lot. A whole bunch even.
Thanks, but what is HDD and SSD - Hard Drive Device and Secondary Storing Device ?
BTW, My disk has more than 300 GB available, would it still help?
@Simmerville Both HDD and SSD are storage drives. SSDs are solid state drives. They are faster and some computers come with both an HDD and an SSD. For those computers, the SSD typically has fewer GB or TB and is where the OS is installed. If your computer has both an SSD and an HDD and the Sims is installed on the HDD, installing it on the SSD may improve performance, but it's likely your Sims game is already installed on an SSD if you have one. So I wouldn't worry about this.
Not just may. Upgrading from an HDD to an NVMe SSD will improve performance. Depending on the SSD type it can make a huge difference. HDD speeds are up to 150 MB/s. SATA SSDs 500-600 MB/s and NVMe m.2 SSDs up to 7,000 MB/s. I have the latter and my game no longer lags at all. So, I would guess since they are experiencing the lag they more than likely don't have an NVMe SSD. Plenty of comparisons on Youtube to verify.
