The Sims 3 lags, no matter what town I'm in, no matter what mods I use. I even have settings to the lowest I can put them, still lags. Before University Life the game lagged but was still playable, now not so much. I remember when the game never lagged at all, I don't mind everything looking weird, but I remember playing the game on full graphics with less lag then now. I took lag then, because the game was beautiful, so of course it's going to lag a little. I could still play it, now everything I do freezes, or the Sim walks back and forth forever. It takes several Sim hours to do anything. Bridgeport used to be wonderful, now Sunset Valley is unplayable. It's depressing, because The Sims 3 is the Sim game I love the most.
