    Is Sunlit Tides as Laggy as Isla Paradiso??

    edited June 2016 in The Sims 3 Store General Discussion
    Those who have read some of my comments will know I am not a fan of Isla Paradiso due to it's laggy-ness that made it unplayable in my game. While I think it is beautiful it is one of the worst worlds in my opinion. However Sunlit Tides is another one of those beautiful island-y worlds and I don't believe I have heard any complaints about the lag. Do the islands make it lag or is that just because Island Paradise came with too many feature.. Please help!!! I'd really like to buy it!

      Not laggy, yes. Sadly however, the water isn't deep enough for any dive lots, or even houseboats except in a few places. And since it's all on one island they won't take water taxis. You can swim though.

      IP came with residential lots with unfixable (from what I've read) routing issues. Sims continually getting stuck causes the lag. If you want to try fixing up Isla Paradiso check out this thread. I downloaded the save Ciane provided and will try that out in the near future.

      Sunlit Tides doesn't lag at all, but it takes a really long time to travel to some places (because of the doughnut shape of the island). So it's a good idea to either have your sim be self employed and work from home, or make them live near to their workplace.

      No and the world is BEAUTIFUL. One of my favorites when I played Sims 3.

      It doesn't seem to be particularly laggy, unlike Isla Paradiso.

      Acording to most opinions here: No. It's not laggy at all (at least, for me) and yes, it's beautiful. One of my favourite maps. Only thing it lacks it's the diving points (and the rest of special features available in Island Paradise). But resorts are also cool in here!

      Sunlit Tides has been the home of my oldest savegames (granted I get rid of the normal population of the town for those). I've had corruption with Starlit Shores, (OF COURSE Island Paradise) and even Midnight Hollow (I think Todd Landgraab may be one of the culprits there), but not ever with Sunlit Tides. But I ahve a game where I play every household through their generations and it's in the 540th save (300 of those saves happened on Sunlit Tides, so yeah...

      I love sunlit tides, it's one of my favourite worlds to play and when I first got it I played there alot on low settings with no problem on my old laptop.
      I was going to start a new save there the the other day but had to turn super water off as my frame rate dropped significantly - I'm hoping it had something to do with a background program running but I thought I'd contribute ^^ x

      No Sunlit Tides isn't as laggy as Isla Paradiso. I usually play in ST when I want a tropical feel to my game as opposed to IP just because IP is so laggy all the time. @lovelylisac is right though, it takes a cool minute to get from place to place in sunlit tides
      This is one corner… of one country, in one continent, on one planet that’s a corner of a galaxy that’s a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And there is so much, so much to see.

      Sunlit Tides can be laggy but it is not as laggy as Isla Paradiso, although many IP features can't be used there as the water is not deep like in IP or SV.
