When I zoom into my house or any lot, it takes around 20-40 seconds to render the house and all of its objects/sims, and during this time the buildings are blurry and the objects are grey with no texturing.
It's very annoying during gameplay as I have to wait for everything to load first before I can do anything, if say one of my sims is at the park and another is at home. I've only managed to get far on my save at the moment as I'm just staying inside the house most of the time. This is what happens when I move my camera to a new lot from town view mode:
It takes about 15-30 seconds to fully load/render depending on how recently I visited that lot and it's worse when I go inside the buildings:
As you can see the objects are grey blobs and then they appear as normal after waiting for ages. All of the surrounding lots are also very blurry and badly textured:
Before you ask my computer exceeds the recommended requirements for this game, and this problem only started happening after installing Pets and patching. I've tried adjusting my graphical settings to try to increase the rending performance but nothing seems to help.
Thanks for reading this and any suggestions on how I can fix this will be appreciated.
