Draging a custom fence creates crash
seelindarun:
I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I do agree that having more CC than RAM isn't good, but I don't think it's the root cause of the crashing. 1.8 GB CC vs. 1 GB RAM doesn't seem egregious, even if it's spread out over 10 000+ individual files. The sun lot problem is probably related to your shortage of RAM, but objects at the edge of a mini-lot crashing the game -- that doesn't sound right. I don't play as many mini-lots as you do, but I rarely have crashes with them, just the two random ones that I mentioned. Then again, I don't usually play on the PPC mac with 10.4.11
Are the mini-lots mostly from one creator, or did you build them yourself?
Mootilda:
plasticbox recently found an intermittent crashing problem with the shrunken lots on MACs. It only occurs with walls which touch one specific edge of the lot, based on the lot rotation (sun direction). It also occurs on only some MACs. And it only occurs with a specific size of lot.
Look at the section labeled "The OS X crash-on-load issue" in this thread:

Does this describe your situation? If so, you should be able to avoid this problem by avoiding lots which meet these criteria.

I am trying to get over my CC addiction. (It is a hard battle for me, removed 50MB today but downloaded 2MB more x_x!) Most of the CC though is maxis recolors and I'm looking into transferring all of it over to PC to use the compressor and then back again probably on the weekend.

The mini lots are all downloaded from mts2 mostly, plasticbox Aelflaed MaryLou
but some of them I received from http://loco-plus.xrea.jp and I had to delete one lot that was from that site (crash on load).
Well I just did a test but it wasn't so bad this time. I couldn't produce the crash again, but I am not certain it is fixed.
Used maxis and custom fence again on the edge of the smallest maxis size lot (from ofb) and mini lots (1x1 and 2x1).
It started to lag with the fence tool on the mini lot (!) but no crash. On maxis lot it does not lag. If the mini lot was furnished/ with sims -my theory somehow it would have terminated then because it lags too long with the drag tool. It is the lack of ram at fault. I let the computer shut down the past day and performance was better also, so I will try to take better care of it until more ram can be purchased.
