TS4 kind of sucks...

Okay, so I'm not playing with the best hardware. I'm not about to go buying a new computer just to play TS4, though... and based upon what I've seen some other players say, it might not make that much of a difference.

After 2 generations, my game has slowed to the point where it's basically unplayable. Every time I tell my Sims to do something, they just stand there for at least 30 seconds (real seconds... not Sim seconds). Sometimes the action drops out of their queue before they even get around to doing anything. I've searched for solutions and tried a couple of mods, but nothing really helps. Even playing with absolutely no CC doesn't make it any better; in fact, the only CC I've even tried are a few mods to try to speed things up.

It makes me long for the days of TS2. I mean, I like the TS4 animations and the graphics (even in laptop mode) are pretty cool. And the toddlers are so cute! But... I miss being able to run the game on high speed, having my Sims respond pretty much immediately, and not have the clock reset all the time (what is up with that, anyway? It's like the game loses its mind if you run it too fast).

You'd think after TS4 being out for years, it would run a lot better than it does. It kind of proves to me that, for EA, it's not about providing a fun game; it's just about making money. Once they've got yours, they don't really care if your product doesn't work as advertised.
