A lot of lag.

My computer has been lagging A LOT with the sims lately. When I go through town all objects take ages to load and the game is slow and choppy. The frame rate is fine when I don't move the camera. The object texture load times are awful, when I first go to a lot everything is gray. I have to wait 30s-60s for all objects to load and the game is still slow. The sims look all weird when I first enter the lot. I have tried lowering the settings i have tried all settings on high and all on low. IT DOESN'T CHANGE A THING. I have no CC except defaults and NRASS mods. (As I deleted them to try and make the game run faster.) I have:
Intel(R) core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @2.50ghz 2.50ghz
8.00gb ram
64 bit operating system
and a radeon HD6670.
I have all EP and SP except Katy Perry ST.

Cider is just... horrible. EA has no intention of fixing anything. My game crashes to desktop constantly because Cider only supports up to 2 GB of RAM.
If you have not done so already, try clearing your cache files before relaunching the game. This is especially true when adding or removing custom content from the game, including any scripting mods. The following cache files can be found in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3:
CASPartCache.package
CompositorCache.package
ScriptCache.package
SimCompositorCache.package
If you have a WorldCaches folder, delete the contents of that folder.
Deleting the cache files should force the game to reload the most current graphics and script data in a pristine state. It is perfectly safe to delete the cache files as the game will automatically regenerate them each time.
Since the cache files are stored on the hard disk, performing a defrag is also recommended. This will help keep the hard disk operating at maximum capacity while playing the game.
