  • @BluebellFlora - Thank you for pointing me in the direction of Crinrict's thread and how to update my graphics drivers. I may attempt that later this evening, after I've read through it a couple of times. I also don't play with anything else open, even turning off my time machine backups and having Origin go offline. It's…
  • @BluebellFlora - I tried both things that you said, and again it seemed hit or miss. The new game without moving the folder seemed fine, but after moving the folder and starting a new game, the lag was unbearable again, even on the home lot, which doesn't usually happen. It's usually community lots (particularly South…
  • Thanks, @rosemow. I've tried all of those options. Even went so far as to have my sim quit his job, which didn't work either. I'll check out that thread you linked.
  • I’m experiencing a new bug after the most recent patch. I have two adult sims - writer career and scientist career. If they both work on the same day, and I join the scientist at work, the other sim is “stuck” at work when the work day is done. What I mean by that is the sim has returned home, but their picture is faded…
  • Alright, no pattern still that I can tell, but South Square Cafe is consistently terrible, as said in the post above. Sims just stand around, not completing any actions. After using the resetsim cheat multiple times, it functions enough for me to get my sim home (several sim hours later).
  • I haven't tried all of them, but it is only some. The ones I mentioned previously were bad yesterday, but today, the Ancient Ruins were just fine with a dance party and lots of Sims. No lag at all. It's starting to seem like it's hit or miss, but I'm trying to track it to see if I can notice any patterns.
  • It's not just the festivals (like the Spice Festival and so on). It's also going to places like the Shrieking Llama or the Perfect Balance Spa (that was unbearably laggy), or someone's apartment in San Myshuno. But going to other places, like work (scientist career) is just fine.
  • macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.5 iMac (21.5 inch, Late 2012) Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Startup Disk Macintosh HD Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB And one of my RAM chips is brand-new.
  • After the latest patch and installing Seasons, I am experiencing a ton of lag on community sites, like coffee shops, spas, restaurants, any of the festivals, etc. It doesn't seem to matter what "city" I'm in - San Myshuno, Windenburg, Newcrest, etc. I'm not sure if it's the number of Sims that are on the lot, perhaps?…
  • Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. Hope there's a fix soon.
  • I'm glad that I'm not the only one having problems, but I'm sorry that none of us are able to use University Life. I've had the expansion since it came out and never had a problem until today. I'm having the same issue that all of you are having. Either the expansion loads after I enroll in university and it just loads…
  • I'm glad to know I'm not alone with this, though for me, like BluebellFlora, it's only started with the most recent update. I'll have to try bypassing the launcher to see what happens.
  • Thanks for the info, Alex. I didn't realize that it was still broken for the diving profession, which is of course my Sim's profession. I guess I'll still have to wait for a fix.
  • I'm still having issues with this and have the most recent version of Overwatch installed.
  • Two weird things in my game... First, a mermaid in Mermaid Grotto, but in human form. Second, a fish stuck in the sand. This fish just flopped around and was not able to be caught.
  • I have this problem as well. If I'm playing with a houseboat, I have to wear my Sea-Bands. That helps me with the motion sickness.
  • Please see My Studio for more. All images are clickable. The Adrianna Collection The Jennifer Collection Thank you for any downloads and recommendations :)
  • I think this is what you can do: Select one of the Sims that you want to live on the houseboat. Have that Sim initiate the moving process. When you get to the moving selection screen, move out all four of those Sims to the houseboat, but check Louise as your active household. (I think that's how to do it). I always save…
  • I've come across tons of sea urchins at Rocky Reef. I basically just stay there for a day and collect tons of different fish and the occasional seashell. I barely find anything at Davy Jones' Locker - That dive site is super disappointing. By the way, the sea urchins look like black pointy specks. They're not very big, but…
  • I just wanted to add a bit to the issue regarding scuba diving and exploring caves. I did the whole edit town/build/buy stuff... moved the caves... then they worked. But the caves only work once. Each time I want to scuba dive, I have to repeat the whole process. Is there a better fix than constantly doing the "edit town"…
  • I thought this was kind of crazy. There were tons of sharks present when my sim was surfacing from scuba diving.
  • I do normally get motion sickness (really bad on boats, too). Unfortunately, even when the houseboats are docked at port, they still bob up and down as they would naturally do in real life. I just have to deal with it and try to adjust some settings. I do wish I could use a lifetime reward though... That would be pretty…
  • Checksky3 - I got the answer from Twallan a short while ago. You have to have the Master Controller mod. In game, go to NRAAS --> Master Controller --> Sim --> Advanced --> Total Annihilation. I'll be trying it in my game in a little while.
  • I'll try looking into the water settings a bit later on this evening. I have all mirror reflections off as that's one of the things that makes my game run better. I'll try zooming one way or another also. Thanks for the suggestions!
  • Nanatorium, how can I delete the Scott family? I can't ever find them!
  • I'm having two issues. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Island Paradise expansion pack already. I'm also getting a new computer on Thursday, so we'll see if I continue to have problems then. Anyway, my first issue is an extremely slow CAS. When starting the game to create a new Sim, it's taking me upwards of half an…
  • I should add that I seem to only be having the problem of crashing when I'm in CAS-mode.
  • So I wasn't really having a ton of problems before this patch came out, but now I can't even play for half an hour before the game freezes and ultimately crashes. I'm getting a new iMac on Thursday, so I'm not going to spend the time uninstalling and reinstalling on this machine, but out of curiosity, is anyone else…
  • I'm with you EternalRose. I've had Barnacle Bay since it came out a few years ago. I wish they would have a second option for those of us who already have it.
