Accessory Clitch in CAS

[MellieC]

Hi all.

I have this wierd thing happening everytime I open CAS in my game.  When ever I click on the accessory/make up option, the screen get's very slow and clitchy.  It doesn't do this with any of the other CAS options, just the make up/accessory one.  It's been happening for quite sometime now and I can't seem to figure out why.  Also, all of my Nightlife lots are very slow and kind of glithcy too but none of the other lots in my game are.  I have all EPs and the OFB lots and the Uni lots work just fine.  I also don't know if the NL lot problem and the CAS problem are related but it wouldn't surprise me.  Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this?

I have the same problem and no solutions so far...

So, I'm not the only one then.  I was thinking maybe it was a clitchy accessory or eye color but I can't seem to find which one it it is.  It's so annoying.

the slow down you are seeing is normal and typical for most users.  Keep in mind that Maxis specifically chose to NOT include accessories like jewelry, but only glasses.  And many of the items that are now categories as glasses are far more complex than anything Maxis designed or intended for use in the game.  With the increasing amount of content that is "stackable" it is bound to happen than many people with low end and mid range video cards will experience a sort of lagging in this section of the creation screens..

Ahh, okay, that makes sense.  I do have a fairly good video card but it's not top of the line.  However, my NL lots haven't always been laggy.  It seems to me that didn't start happening until I installed Uni or OFB I believe.  Maybe in the NL case, all of it is just too much game for the card to handle properly.    

Thank you beosboxboy.
