Resolved - It's lagging
Micco:
Ok, open up the Task Manager with your game running on the lot in question (if you don't know how to open it, right click on the task bar WinXP otherwise Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and see what your system is using to run that lot. With hardly anything in it and graphics set low, you shouldn't be using much; certainly nothing like this:
If your usages are that high there is something bugging the lot or the game because the lot I got the screen from is excessively overloaded.

Wow, Micco, how much RAM do you have? My Sims2 game only ever uses 200K-500K and it gets a little laggy at the high end of that.
I need more memory.
Axel - I find that the more trees on a lot, the slower the lot plays for me. On one lot that I found troublesome, turning off shadows and neighborhood views helped, as well as reducing the graphics resolution settings. It sucks to have to play under those conditions when you have a decent graphics card, but what can you do?

My RAM is a subject that is almost best left untouched but since you ask...
Warning! Do not try this at home!
The system thinks I have 1.25 GB; the commit charge in that screenshot shows more. At that time I had about 4% of the physical RAM left available. Plugged into my MB are four 512 MB RAM chips, two run at 400 MHz the other two run at 333; both are matched pairs all from the same manufacturer. I set my system BIOS to run the memory at 333 MHz and that is what I get. It was a quick, cheap (free) fix for more ram.

Micco, I have to wonder if that will work on a Mac. Many things the PC Simmers have/do sometimes don't work for me. I think I'm going to delete everything else in that town and try everything I can. Losing pictre quality might be bad for the story, but the lag is bad for my mental health. :grin:

Micco I hope that Fireworks.exe I am seeing in your processes is Macromedia Fireworks and not the Worm.P2P.Lolol.c
