I LIIIIIIIIVE!

Sounds like it was a pretty successful night then.

[ravencries]

It was.
Got woken up way to early though... Took my nephew and his sister to see Inside Out.

[yuichen]

Nice to spend family time, but booo on earlier hours. Hope you guys had a nice time

[ravencries]

That movie was so cute... and today I torture myself by watch The Judge which has a sad ending.

[yuichen]

I know I watched that and the second one, but I can't really remember the end :/ I'll have to watch it again.

[ravencries]

Today on things I didn't know/remember I turned on Sims 3 and discovered why I stopped playing it.

IT SO MUCH LAG OF DEATH!

And I have no idea what I need to remove to get rid of this lagging evil.

[yuichen]

Do you merge your files? Assuming you use .packages, that is.

[ravencries]

I did have them merged at one point - but I kept backups of all the files I merged and when the game lagged worse with them like that I removed the merged files and put the old stuff back in.

I just have to much crap I think... a lot of it is actually from TSR when I was still a paid member.

[yuichen]

Huh, that's odd. I wonder if maybe the merged files were too big.

[ravencries]

I've taken out one websites stuff and now hopefully I'll be able to turn my game on again and play without it lagging every two seconds.

[yuichen]

Good luck! Towards the end mine was getting kind of questionable too.

[ravencries]

What is weird is that my Sims 2 has waaaaaaaaaaaaay more stuff loaded into it and doesn't lag as much... just runs slow and some times crashes because it's over processing everything.
If there was a way to get the games to stop reading every single line of code while it runs unless it needs to run that line of code it would be so much easier.

[yuichen]

Same here. We're talking like 13+ gb in Sims2 and I had maybe 3-5gb in Sims3. I thought I read that Sims3 had a bit of a memory leak.

But yes, I agree!

[ravencries]

Uhg.. I googled it, there is a major issue memory leak wise. Apparently sims 3 leak is better than sims 2.
I vote that it is worse.
Now if I only knew how to write game code and program, I'd be working on this project.

[yuichen]

I'd definitely say Sims3 feels worse.
