Simmers' Paradise / Anecdote Assistance / Is it really worth it?

PC Specs: Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT g92 So far in the lot I've set out the rooms and everything else you can see in the picture (the pool area in the back was just because I got bored at one point). It's got an entrance area and 2 apartments on the ground floor, the next 3 floors have 2 apartments the same size as the bottom one plus they have 2 1 bedroom apartments and on the roof are 2 large penthouse apartments. However my main concern really is how laggy it is getting for me, I've already removed the 100+ flowers that were surrounding the building

try it out on a couple of test lots to get the hang of it, then apply what you've learned to the house you want to keep. I lol'd I never test stuff out first I got it working and added it out, but my question is, if things are on the very outside spot, with the wall running down it, will it still show up? Because thats how close I am...I can't move any further over However, I'm not even sure that I am going to keep up with this project...sure I've spent days on it, but if it's not easily playable it isn't really going to be work continuing.

Ok, so I get my ideas for buildings from google. I found this fairly cool looking apartment and decided to try and replicate it. I've been working for a few hours a day for the last few days now and I quite like what is turning out from it. However, it is a really laggy lot. I have a beafy gaming computer and honestly, this lot is the only game thus far that I have seen become jumpy at all....so I was wondering whether it is worth me continuing on with this. I am intending for it to be released if I do finish it but as a lot of the people that play TS2 seem to have average PCs, I don't think many people will be able to play it. I've attached a photo of where I am up to so far, comments appreciated. Oh, also, if I do decide to continue and finish it then I've got 1 more day before I can scrap it for a minimum of 2 weeks, Fable 2 is finally coming out and I am expecting to switch my computer on for only a few minutes each day EDIT: Wow am I tired, just realized which section this is -.- If it could be moved to correct section it would be great

I've spent over 2 days on my current project, and as I was making the surrounding wall I realized that I've made it too close to one side, and that I can't make the wall because of the stupid thing where I can't place things on that last grid square around the lot. Is there any way I can make it so I can foundation (My wall) around this last grid square? Or if I can move my building over a couple of squares somehow, it would take way too long to recreate the whole building

Not trying to annoy you. But in the future it might be easier to pull out your hacks / mods if they're all in the same subfolder. I know that you said that you will have objects that won't show up, but not necessarily - at least not action hacks / mods like "no autonomous coffee drinking".
If you do get that clean installer - yes, certain things don't show up with what type of hack / mod they are, but a lot do. You can organize them that way. At least most of them.
Just a suggestion. ...Including clothing that my sims are currently wearing for all of their clothing sets?

I was just thinking, if you go in the game, you can click on it and delete it that way.
If it's a buyable phone through the catalog. What do you mean? I never had the phone in my lot...ever. So how can I delete it that way?

Hi,
I had the same problem. It turned out it was something in the cep folder. The zCEP-EXTRA in the docmuments...Ea folder... sims folder. Also check the one in the (I am on an apple) but I think the program files folder in windows? The sims folder...tsdata folder....Res folder....Catalog folder....zCEP-EXTRA folder...check and see if there are phones in one or both of the listed folders. Take them out and put them on the desk top...restart your sims program and see if that fixes it. Ahh finally a post that got me excited. However I did a full search of my HDD and found nothing called zCEP in it at all It's at MTS2.
I can't provide the link right now.
The site seems to be down. Got the organizer, scanned everything and searched for anything with the word cell or phone in it. The only things that came up were some apple iphone decorations I downloaded with an apple store pack, however I still do know that somewhere in there in the usable cellphone, but as I've already said...I've never used it.

Do it on all In world and all off world. forcing error on all world doesn't do everything. Done that, but do I have to reload the lot or anything? Because it still isn't fixing it.

Try geting the FFS Lot Debugger from MATY and force error on all in world and off world objects. I got the FFS Lot Debugger from MATY and force error on all world, but it still hasn't fix it. There wasn't anything else I need to do was there? @Ekozski: Where can I get this download organizer? It would probably be really helpful

Take the phone out of your downloads folder if it's still in there Wouldn't have a clue which one it is. Too many downloads are just numbers and letters I can't distinguish them all.

No, I haven't built anything around where the phone is. I haven't downloaded any custom phones however I do recall seeing a custom cellphone in there from a pack of objects I downloaded, however I have never used it on any of my lots nor this one.
