How to fix conflicting mods?
tomomi:
@nanacake: Do you want to point out the good and bad creators in MTS, I just want to avoid the bad ones ^^. I do agree, custom patterns take longer to load on CAS. I have quite a bunch of wood patterns, and it would freeze about 3 seconds before I can move each time I load in Wood. I only have "?" tiles in legacy lots, how weird is that? It does annoy me but not to the point I want to break my computer. I took a few days off testing my mods (since TS3 is still unplayable for me). But I am going to resume.
@forbiddenjoy: I am more envious of you. Even on EA 60x60 lots I have problem. It is not so much of a huge lag, it is just there, like your screen is wearing a 20lbs chain, feeling a little jerky when playing. Well, originally I wanted a huge house for my virtual self. But yes, I do realize my sims get lost in there. So 60x60 is definitely NOT for me. However, when play Sims, we are playing other sims too. So in a way I am hoping to be able to play a mansion of a very rich family. Or I plan to convert some of the 60x60 lots into some nice community lots that have more to offer than Central Park. Let me know how those custom 60x60 work for you. Oh, you didn't mention the graphic settings on your computer. Regarding your problem with hair ... does it happen all the time? If it only happens once a full moon, dont worry about it. Its just probably error in memory compression, which has a chance to happen to anything. But if the hair problem bothers you that much, I suggest redownload it or just avoid it altogether.

I finally got a chance to play a lot today - it says it's a 64x64. If you were already envious of how my computer runs you're going to hate me after reading the next sentence. I realized last night I forgot to mention my graphic settings - I run everything on high, even the edge smoothing (I think that's what it's called). My husband said that is what causes the most lag in most games, so I set it lower for about 2 hours and I couldn't stand it. I moved it back to high to see if it caused lag and it hasn't so I left it there. The graphics just look so much nicer with the smooth edges. My husband built this system for my birthday with the SIMs 3 in mind because he knows how much I love the game and I get very upset when it doesn't run right. So far I have my Sim moved into a huge house. It's way too huge for my liking - it even has a partial kitchen upstairs. I like the house, but I don't know my way around it yet and I keep having to hunt for bathrooms. It has room for 4 cars. There has been no lag whatsoever. I didn't turn the game off it's sitting on my toolbar and ready to play when I get a chance again. My 2 year old granddaughter is with me and will be with me all day. She loves to sit in my lap and watch - when she hears the SIM music and sees the SIM icon loading she runs through the rooms singing, "Grandma's making babies!" I'm sure I will get a chance to play it some more later in the day when she is up. I will try to get my SIM pregnant and get some children on the lot and see how it runs. Then I have a custom house of the "Lake House" I'm dying to play. I am really surprised I have no lag, I really expected a little. I might get some lag if I leave it running for several hours (several meaning a whole day) and play - sometimes I do that and I don't turn the game off for two or three days. I'm going to have to tell my husband he did real good. I have been wanting a version of his gaming computer he advertises for years - and I was so shocked when he surprised me with it this year.
I only wish I knew why it doesn't want to play nice with the awesomemod. I really liked features of that mod and it doesn't make sense to me that my old system would run it and this one doesn't. I've learned that the SIMs games can be very fickle.
As for that hair file. It only does that when they age up after a birthday, otherwise it is just fine. I have to change the hair and change it back to that file after they age up. I usually make changes to their appearance and clothing at that time anyway. It's a little annoying but not really bothersome enough to drive me too crazy. It does do it every time they age up - it always has so it has to be a problem with that file. I don't think any other file or mod is causing it to happen.
