Unbearable Lag; Choppy game performance for no reason
Pyromaniac:
Okay, this has never happened before. I used to be able to run the Sims 2 + all EPs on high graphic settings with barely any lag, but when I opened the game today, it was extremely choppy; the neighbourhood camera crawled like a snail, and I couldn't even enter the boolprop cheat without waiting a few seconds for each letter to load.
I have no clue what caused this, since nothing unusual happened to my computer. I tried lowering the graphic settings, but it made absolutely no difference. I turned off shaders (boolprop useshaders false) - no difference. I ran disk defrag and cleanup, closed background tasks, ran -w and -nosound mode but the game was still laggy like hell.
I ran dxdiag to check on my settings, and everything was the same as before. In a desperate last attempt, I deleted all the custom content I installed in the past 48 hours; still made no difference.
I'm just...stumped. :| I've got no idea why this happened, or how to fix it. Any help?

It could be your computer just needs to be run through a basic maintenance. Trying running a disk cleanup, and defrag. It wouldn't hurt to run the Error check utility on your hard drive either.

Maybe you have just too MUCH CC and you need to delete more. Games go slow with more CC, I would know. :smile:

I doubt it. I have less than 400 files of CC, most of which are hacks/mods. Also, my game ran fine before.

I ran cleanup and defrag before (to no avail), but the error check utility? Where's that?

Open the My Computer icon on the desktop. Right click on the drive you want to check, select Properties, Tools Tab, Error-checking.
