    How many packs can you add without adding lag?

    I bought the following today, but I have not tried the game with them all added, yet. Hopefully everything will be fine.

    Outdoor Retreat
    My Wedding Stories
    Tiny Living
    Cool Kitchen Stuff
    Chef Hustle
    Nifty Knitting

    How much more can I add before I ruin everything?

      I own everything and I have a PS5. I only run into lag when my Sim takes a photo or I go into build/buy mode, but there's an easy "on the fly" fix for that. I click on the three dots on the top right corner to bring up the options popup and the lag usually goes away.

      Thanks! Especially for the tip to make the lag go away!

      Do you think that Rent will be too much to add? Are you planning on buying it?

      At some point I will. I buy everything, but I was underwhelmed by the trailer. Maybe if I find something I like about the new pack I'll buy it on release day regardless of price.

      My Playstation came with Call of Duty for free. COD seems to have HUGE updates. Do I need to uninstall COD to have enough room for all the packs?

      @Katofhyrule12 I recommend investing in an external hard drive for extra storage.

      I did not know that you could connect an external harddrive to a PS5. Thanks for the tip! Until this past year, I had not gamed since the early 2000's with Sims 1 on Win XP and Sims Castaway on PS2. Everything is different now.

      How does your game handle festivals and the Finchwick Fair?

      I will have to pay attention to where the lag is worst. I have not noticed any trends in live mode. On PC, Mt Komorebi was more laggy than other worlds, but I have not noticed that same trend on PS5. I will pay special attention to comparing the festivals and fairs with other places.

      Build/Buy lags so badly that I have to restart the game sometimes. The lag lasts even after I close Build/Buy.

      I am wondering if some of the lag is because of the mouse. When I used a bluetooth mouse, I had more lag than with a wired mouse. When I first started using the wired mouse, I had fewer packs. Is there any difference in lag with different wired mice?

      I've only used a wired mouse so I'm not sure

      I restarted the TV and that reduced the lag a LOT. I had been restarting the PS5 and the game, but not the TV.
