mansion lag?

I really don't have much lag in my game but I have moved my Sims into a beautiful mansion. 3 floors (one section of the house does have a 4th floor section) and a basement. 6 bedrooms....lots of bathrooms. 64 x 64 lot. Huge yard with pool, garden, basketball court, and kids play area. I usually don't have lag but when I play in this mansion, I do have lag. It's frustrating. Could it be just because the lot and house are so large?

    Yeah, I used to get lag in complex lots as well, so I try and keep them simple now. San Myshuno lags for me as well - vanilla or modded.

    From some user reports, having a monster PC doesn't seem to help either.


    I get lag in San Myshuno too!! I cant play there anymore its so annoying. I can lower the settings and it still lags.

    Stuttering lag or simulation lag?


    It's like when I click on a sim, I have to click a few times for it to transfer over to make the sim active. For example, I'm playing Joyce and Harry. Harry is active, but I want Joyce to do something....I click on Joyce's face but it stays on Harry...like it's stuck for a few. So the game lags a bit and I'm clicking Joyce's face like crazy until it transfers over to her. If that makes sense.


    I have that lag too when switching sims. It annoys me a lot cuz it's so disorientating to me.
  • I think it's because the lot is super huge. That's why I will more likely play in either medium-sized homes/lots.

    By the way, I think the island in Windenburg can get laggy at times.

    Thanks, all. I love the house my sims are in but I can't deal with the lag. I may have to downsize. :(

    I have been through that as well...sad moment. Like hitting an invisiwall :(
  • Is it the size of the lot for sure? What if I use a smaller lot but quite a few floors?
  • I'm assuming it's the Country Side District of Windenburg... Hard to say I don't really get Lag, and I have 4 Large mansions in that neighborhood... Now I don't get lag, but certain days my game would force quit, when loading.

  • Idk if this will help at all, but the most lag for me seems to be caused by sim's cluttered inventories. Do you have sims with a ton of collectibles in their inventory? I have been playing with a garden of 1 of every plant and the sim I garden with always causes bad lag until I sell off all the flowers/herbs/fruits/etc she is holding.

    i collect frogs, gems, and everything else but it seems an inventory full of harvested plants causes the most lag and load time issues.
  • Also got the lag in a mansion which I built in Brindleton. My other mansion in Windenburg's village and in the island of Windenburg does not lag as much as the one in Brindleton though. I think the idea to make the mansion with MOO objects off is worth trying
