Or perhaps because people just tend to shiftclick and pick Give Cell Phone, ironically because braving the horrid lot load times to go to a community lot tended to make it not worth the hassle, something TS3 is supposed to eliminate (by making the entire GAME lag instead).
I have never played a game in my entire life that has taken so long to load. To the point where I never, ever change lots. Once I am in a particular lot, I stay there, until I am done playing the game. The load times killed me. I would wander off to do laundry, clean the toilet, run a marathon, and forget...sometimes coming back to a lot full of almost dead sims because no one wants to cook. So do I understand correctly that FOJ believes TS3 will be laggy through and through? I do not think I can handle any more sloooow. I am anxious to hear reports from all the sheeple who rush right out to buy. If the game play is slow, I'll skip it.
P&L at the bawl's long load times. On Addison, changing to a community lot takes about a minute and a half on my normal account. Couple seconds on the test account. Load times don't annoy me. The insistence that sims have on walking to the freaking mailbox or phone and their propensity to always appear on the side farthest for me that pisses me off. That and patrons deciding to jump rope in my tiny 1x1 salon.
To be fair, I could install TS2 on new computer, and would not have this problem. I have been waiting on TS3, however, as lame as that sounds. If TS3 is not deemed worthy, I will transfer TS2 over, because I probably would play if it were not for the extreme slowness of playing it on computer that is old...and has a long beard.

Long load times spoil my enjoyment of the game too. Unless I'm playing a single sim in a starter home, or some other uncomplicated family, I also tend to stay on one lot. After some hours of playing a 5 sim, 3 pet family with a garden, a home business & puppies on the way, I'm about ready to tear my hair out at the lag. Clearing the gossip out of a hood helps, so does quitting and rebooting the PC, but it's a pain.
Sounds to me like Sims 3 is going to force you to play one story to the death or go swap lots schitzophrenically(?) to keep up with multiple stories. I'd bet the single 'hood is going to lag like crazy once you add more than a handful of your own complicated sims.
It sounds to me from the spec as if my PC won't run sims3 anyway - I have old style PCI slots & the list of supported cards doesn't look to include any. I'm not buying a new PC, to put Securom straight on it!

I used to have long load times... then I asploded my custom content. If you're very, very picky about what you put in your game, it runs much, much faster.
nekonoai:
also, moar ramz! I now have the maximum amount XP will handle and my game runs so much better. no more random crashings or triangles of doom! :D
Jelenedra:
Ah, yes, RAMZ.
Thank you, MOAR RAMZ, for allowing my game to run a full lot in Winter, without it chugging down to the speed of an epileptic turtle...
