Did the patch really kill my BV, or was it something I did?

Like everyone else said MOAR ram and better graphics card will probably fix the problem. 512 ram is awfully low to run those many eps with the game. Its going to go kaboom eventually which is what it just did. Save up for them. Go back to where it ran ok with eps and reinstall BV later when you have MOAR ram.

I've been having some similar problems with BV. I think it's just a crappy EP. When I installed Seasons, everything actually worked FASTER. Not the case, here.
The annoying stuttering is just the lag from switching from play to buy/build. I sometimes get it, too. More ram?
Ah, so BV might just be all-around suckified then. I can't imagine how awful the next EP will be...
Does the lag eventually go away for you? The lag instantly stops when I exit Build or Buy but not before then. However, if I get the laggy Build or Buy, switch to Live mode and then switch back to Build/Buy it usually lags again.
I don't know why it happens. I could have one Sim sitting quietly sitting on a couch and get the lag if I switch modes, but I could also have eight Sims all running around and not get the lag when I enter either mode. It seems so random.

Yes, I think I will put BV away for now. It just hasn't been worth the trouble. Maybe I'll ask my boyfriend if one of his friends can help me out. They built their own gaming rigs so maybe they have some spare stuff around. Although, I don't actually live in the same state as all of them anymore. If something happens to work out maybe I can give BV another chance. It is currently at the top of my inanimate enemies list, though. xP
