Residential Rental Lots Lagging In Buildmode

izzy_inglis​  Please test this on a different lot, preferably in one of the base game worlds.  I'd like to know whether it's a problem with building a residential rental at all, or with one of the lots or worlds.  And if the test lot in the base game world also lags, please try the same in a new save.

If the new save is affected too, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

One potential workaround is to build as a regular residential lot, then switch to a rental when you're done.  I realize it's not the way you want to play, but at least you could get the build done.

This shouldn't happen at all though, and I don't see a lot of reports of lag during building that affect more than one build or lot.  The problem is usually a lot that's broken somehow, often one downloaded from the Gallery and that probably worked fine initially but was affected by a later patch.
