You know how there is great lag whensoever children sims are about to go to school? My theory is that there is lag because maybe school buses are about to return? And the lag is from when the school bus is supposed to arrive. I also theory that there is no lag whenever adult sims are going to work because cars will come soon in a pack or game pack and sims will be able to just click on their car and go to work (but there will be no carpools)
Toddlers are FINALLY HERE!!!

Good theory except not everyone suffers from this lag, I have never had the school lag in my game and I play with both children and teens in my game, sometimes one of each.

No. Let me shut this down reaaaaaal quick before the hype gets out of hand.
Check this post. It's a well-documented issue and it has absolutely nothing to do with school buses. No, it's just yet another aspect of a huge, ongoing bug that they desperately need to fix.
I would like school buses back, though. Something about immersion and whatnot.
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
@Jagwithtude Ahh! Interesting! You are lucky to not experience this!
@lottevdbrug Hmmm. What is your gamecard with your newer laptop? And also interesting.
@DeservedCriticism Thanks for sharing! I've seen that post as well - it's been a while. Just by looking at it I see the list of major bugs continue to get longer and unfixed =/. Disappointing really.
Now that I think about it, when they introduced toddlers in a patch, whenever toddlers went to cabinets/trash to "play in", there would be the little cloud effect as they rummage. Right then I knew that Pets were next because the Maxis team LOVES reusing animation, so I knew that they would use that SAME animation for Pets when they would maybe rummage through trash or destroy furniture.
Anywho, Post not intended to mislead or "hype" anyone. Just a theory even if it is a bug. 'Tis why I posted this in the speculation/Rumor thread instead of anywhere else.
The graphics card is an NVIDA GeForce GTX 1060.
The only sims who froze were the ones going to school or work at 8am. Does it normally cause sims laggin on their way to work?
Hm, maybe it's because 8 AM is a common start time for jobs and school, and the game engine has to simulate all the other sims in the world going to work, like removing them from their current lots?

That would make more sense if the game was open world.
I don't think this is the case, since I rotate households, I find that none of the sims I switch to are at work or school with the switch, even if they are late for work or school, I have to send them myself.

That's odd. The game will tell you they're busy at work if you ask them out, but then it doesn't actually send them to work.

I've never had the lag or freezing when kids go to school, either...maybe it has something to do with where Sims live and or if it's a Maxis lot, (portal location) because there has to be a reason some have it and some don't. But I have crashed in the city due to moving in a mother and toddler and then within a few hours of being in their new apartment it crashed game. Or moving in three roomies and they crashed the game in another save. MyShuno is the pits for that.
Personally I don't think we are going to get schoolbusses and carpools sadly. The Sims 4 is not really made for them. If you look at San Myshuno, Windenburg and Brindleton bay there are no places for these vehicles to park on many of the lots..
I think if we get cars they are going to be Decoration objects with the option for sims to get into them and travel, but no actual driving away movements (or maybe a really tiny movement and then to the travel screen). I would love for them to add them though, if they can find a way that works in the game!

Doubt we'll ever get them, honestly. What would be the purpose? It would arrive and the sim would disappear in front of the bus/car? Because if so, then what's the difference? Y'all know they're not going to create a whole animation of a sim entering the vehicle, because this game just doesn't do that and vice versa (elevators anyone?). Whether sims teleport at the edge of an empty street or in front of a carpool doesn't matter in the long run does it? I'd rather have them focus on improving aspects that'll actually add to the gameplay of TS4. A car/bus animation adds nothing.
They should patch in the use of the cars already in game as decoration for those who want one sitting on a driveway or something. But tbh it's not really that big a deal just resize the toy cars if you're desperate.
