Default Laggy game after opening buy and build mode or entering map view
So guys, my game was fine for a few days and for some reason after I installed aurora skies (again) it got laggy. seemed like it was the new world so ok so i removed it, and then it got laggy when i opened buy and build mode. thought it wasnt aurora skies, so i added it again. not laggy for like 2h then laggy when playing aurora skies. removed budhain omsp resizer. package (i think that's how you spell it) cuz showed conflict and it was fine then laggy again when I opened map view. found out I had a TravelDB.package in my packages folder, so i removed it, aurora skies unlaggy and then laggy again, i think it was when i opened buy and build mode. also, for some reason before i removed the arezzo counter, the launcher would close on itself, but i don't think it has after i got the arezzo counter out.

the thing is, my computer used to play all the expansion and stuff pack worlds + sunlit tides + aurora skies + sims 3 version of strangetown + santa blanca + los angeles + alpine county. alpine county was sometimes kinda laggy, so i removed it. after i reinstalled, i didnt add alpine county but its laggy from sunlit tides and aurora skies only. also, i found out i had those broken cc all star for toddlers and the arezzo cabinet so i removed those and its still laggy.

Unfortunately, Sims 3 lag can come from many places. What are your PC specs? Have you gone through any steps that fix performance issues (recognizing the GPU, limiting FPS, fixed EA worlds, Nraas mods, etc.)?

Intel® Core™ i5-2520M dual-core processor 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz
Intel HD Graphics 3000
8gb RAM
256gb SSD

The thing is, my pc used to run the sims smoothly, I think it was smooth even when I only had 4gb RAM. In the DeviceConfig (?), it says it recognizes my graphics card, i never limited FPS in the old HDD that I remember (also I tried it and it didn't change anything), never tried fixed EA worlds since they always worked for me, and I use Nraas MasterController, Nraas MasterController Cheats, Nraas Overwatch, Nraas ErrorTrap, Nraas Decensor, Nraas Woohoer, Nraas Woohoer Kama Simtra, Nraas Traveler and Nraas Vector plus Vector with zombies. I also used mods like the napping mat for toddlers, extra activities for toddlers, children can series, and graphical XTC. I haven't added almost anything new after reinstalling


also just realized that in my launcher I have a texture called "texture" as a pattern and is white with no picture, my two downloaded EA worlds (ST & AS) appear as objects and i have a bike that looks broken (the sicykl bike)

the launcher just closed itself when appeared one item as that cube as i was scrolling, i think it was sunlit tides
