    Anyone else having this problem? (concerning placing houses)

    Ok, i'm having quite an irritating time on TS3,
    Every time i place an un-occupied house onto an empty lot, the 'Processing' screen comes up, and it takes like half an hour before it resumes and shows me the home now placed on the lot!
    It's really irritating, and i was wondering if i'm the only person who ever gets this... :x

      Yeah, takes forever.. it's quite annoying, but I guess that's what we get for not having loading screens for anything else

      Edit - does anyone have any problems when saving and exiting the game? Mine takes forever also to do so!

      I've noticed this action causes the game to process for a longer time than other actions. My guess is because it has to set up the entire house and all of its contents four times, since you have the ability to rotate the house when placing it.
      My saving takes a little bit of time too (but not a great deal).

      Yep, it takes me forever to save as well! :(
      lately i always have a book by my side or a film on in the backround to make time pass a little quicker whilst it's saving/loading.
      raaaather annoying :( :x

      Maybe like 2 min to save at most (but I save frequently) And for adding houses it probably takes about 2 or 3 min too, and everytime I rotate the house I wait that long as well. It does kinda get irritating, but its not stopping me from playing the game :-)

      Yes, this is half the reason I'm building my own house this time.

      I hate the processing screen epically, it took a half an hour to place Epic Castle, then I had to turn ot 180 degrees. :x
