Gaaaaaah its back.... kind of Definitely not as bad as before I'd probably consider it more lag than freezes, and it seems confined to just Starlight Shores (I was playing AP then once I fixed my resolution I thought I'd finally play in SS and all my other neighbourhoods seem fine too). So I'm guessing its a problem with SS....

Could be. The only thing I can suggest is disk cleanup and defrag. I would assume with all the online stuff going on it's clogging up and causing lag. That is why I have never used memories and all that other nonsense from the start. No in-game store none of it. I don't want my game files unnecessarily large because of that stuff. I use mods to turn all that stuff off.

I wanted to be sure you got thanked for telling me to restart after the DEP. I also think I didn't click apply and ok out of all the windows backing out of it. So I made sure to this time around.

So i installed showtime... then every time i go into buy moce and click hobbies it freezes and crashes...

Did you do the DEP? (That's my new religion. Hail DEP!!!)
I also heard there are store issues... but I don't know because I'm not at the point where I'm concerned about it, YET. I'm just trying to get the game to run. I'm almost at the finishing line though. I can feel it.

No problem. So are you good to go now?

Nope, still downloading Showtime. And I know it will prompt me to install the update via the launcher before it will install. But I'm getting there...

Okay I'll stick around a while longer.

LOL I know there are probably a few people sick of seeing me posting about this, and all of them are probably hoping this time it works so I can take a hike. LMAO

You just want to play just like everyone else. That's not asking a lot.

True. It says about 3 minutes left in the download.

Okay, sorry about the double post but I am going to install the update now because it is saying I have to. And then the game and do all the little things for that and try to load it. Cross your fingers toes legs ... just cross everything lmao
I'll be back after I trial run it and let you know what happened. I usually interact with another sim a few times and an object or two (because that's when my game would crash).

Cool, I'll give it a clean/defrag. I have memories and opportunities turned off too, I can't stand them . @exotic kitten I definitely don't find you annoying, I use the forums all the time to find help with game stuff... its what they're there for and luckily there are awesome people like blunote who take the time to try and help us, so don't feel bad

Okay waiting with everything possible crossed.

Still not done yet. I'm waiting for the update to finish installing. Getting that to work was a trial in patience as well. The launcher kept crashing when I clicked on refresh under updates. Sooo, being resourceful me, I cheated. I right clicked and troubleshot compatibility on the shortcut to get the launcher to open in troubleshoot. Ha HA! And it worked. Getting there slowly. I imagine this laptop needs a cool off at some point. It's been running pretty much all day and half the night for 3 days trying to get this fixed. LOL But I won't cut it off until I have a final report.
