Between the Light and the Darknes ~~~Chapter 34 - The End~~~
Astral Faery:
Thank you! I tried shooting yesterday, but I'm having a really hard time running large lots in my game, lately. They run slow, and keep getting slower, then freeze and/or crash. Today I'm going to move part of the chapter to a smaller set and seeing if it runs okay. Plus, my AL disc is cracked and I'm not able to replace it at this time. It's still running for now, but I don't know how much more I'll get out of it before it decides to quit running. So... it may be awhile, lol. But the end is near!

Astral, I have the same problem. I love downloading all these gorgeous lots that are furnished but they are just not playable in my game. Try making a small lot and build and tear down as needed to see if that helps lagging trouble it is the only way I can do contests and any storytelling in my game.
Having a lot of sims on the lot also makes my game crawl too. I usually use a sim for whatever shot I need move them out and go to the next. If I have to have them back at any point I just summon them with a hack. Another slow machine trick for me is I create a few clones of a character already dressed to play whatever part they have to play that way I don't have to change appearance and clothes in the lot, I just summon stand in clone to do their thing and then go back to being a downtownie. ;)
Stelio Kontos:
You know where I'll be by now.
Me: (Narrating) Somehow my camp still survives. Granted, a lot of amenities were destroyed from hanging from cliffs too often, but at least me and the fellow campers managed to escape with minor injuries. The portal to my fantasy goods warehouse still survives, but trust me, getting to a portal floating in mid-air from crumbling cliffs isn't exactly an easy task. Manageable? Yes. Fun? No.
Off-topic: Exactly how much CC do you have?
Somehow I seem to be having good luck running my game. Not exactly a stellar computer, but runs reasonably well. 1.52 GB of CC and I average around a minute from one lot to another. Gameplay is pretty good, with minimal stuttering and such. That is, when I go and play. (Haven't done so in a few weeks.) And even then, I really don't play all that much. It's mainly testing my phototaking abilities.
Astral Faery:
Thank you, Vickie. Some good tips. I'm thankful I'm on the last chapter, because this whole story has been difficult to shoot. From the annoying lunch room scenes where I need several people, to the cell scenes where it's difficult to move the camera around because they're so small, to Shirra's lot because it's huge and runs so slow.
I've always had problems with large lots, but not as bad as this. At worst, they would just lag, but they wouldn't freeze or crash my game like they do now. I DO have a lot of cc, but I've actually purged quite a bit and I'm having more problems than before. And it seems like I got rid of things I was actually using, so I'm almost afraid to delete anything else. I inadvertently deleted Kiana's skintone and Gylen's eyes. I know I could just install one of my 20,000 backups, but that seems tedious to do for minor characters. I do need to do some more house cleaning, though.
By the way, would anyone know how much free space is needed to run this game? Like, twice the size of the game, for example? Though I partially blame my downloads for the slowness, that can't be the only reason because the game on my second account runs slow, too, and that game is tiny. I only have a handful of downloads in it, and it still plays laggy, though not as bad.
Thanks for hanging in there with me, folks. Sorry it's taken so long. The last chapter is another difficult one, as I'll need several extras called in for part of it, and some photoshopping for part of it, and the same old 'how the hell will I take a picture of that' part of it. :rolleyes:
Zorom:
What do you mean by your "other account"? Do you mean another user account?
User accounts take up so much space-I say get rid of them! Because if you have two user accounts, and ya wanna play sims, you gotta install it TWICE-which takes up twice the space!! Grr! :O
