OMG the lag is unbearable!!

EDIT: By the way, I checked the game's requirments, and as I stated, all standards are met.
Meeting the base game's minimum standards is not the same as meeting the minimum standards for running non-suckily, especially since the calculations used by AwesomeMod are more computationally intensive. If you want to play below-spec, you'll probably have to deactivate most of the Story Mode sanity checks, or turn off Story Progression entirely, as calculating logical behaviors is more expensive than random, idiotic shit, or nothing at all. Alternatively, depopulating your neighborhood is a good way to reduce the load. Just because you can meet minimum spec doesn't mean it won't run like shit. It's not some magical switch that happens the moment you pass the line.

The recommended settings were all on medium, and the game ran smooth as my groin...
The (graphical) settings don't affect the CPU load.

Are these the same requirements which suggest TS3 could be played with an archaic 2GHz single core CPU? Where have you been the last couple of years that you don't know the minimum requirements are just outright lies?

Well see, this is what I asked of what my computer was not good enough for. And you answered my question indirectly, it is not powerful enough for your mod. I can play the game itself fine, but it is all the extra content that comes with your mod that makes it slow. Well, as of now, I have decreased the lag an extraordinary amount, I guess we will have to see how it goes once the story progression gets deeper as pheonixflying said.
J. M. Pescado:
The extra content can be easily turned off, although then you expose the underlying awfulness of the original system that was replaced. But your computer really isn't adequate for that, either, and turning off Story Progression entirely is probably your best bet for reducing load.

Alright, so we have identified the problem, we discovered the reasoning of the problem, and we have offered multiple solutions for fixing the problem, all of which I gratefully thank the users who have posted in this thread. For now, I will probably have to take the low route, of disabling most, if not all of the story mode progression, but like I said, I would like this to be only for now. As I have mentioned before, I have been in the market for a pump-up for my computer, not only for this game, and not only for games alone, but for a multi-tude of reasons, but as I have also stated, my finacial situation is...tight to say the very least lol. But, with the holiday season coming up, and the hopefullness of becoming employed, and having money left from my....fees that I must take care off, what would you suggest as being an adequate processor to use? Would a possible Pentium E5300 or E6300 be suitable? Or should I just say fuck Pentium and try for Intel Core? Which would most likely end up coming down to Core2 E7500? Also, what would you suggest for a good, cheap video card? As I said, I have NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT, and I was thinking of replacing this before anything else, but now looking around I would say that the processor would be the better first choice.
EDIT: Ooooohhhh I actually just found some Intel Core 2 E7400 for a pretty good price. Anyone know if this is a solid choice? Anyone have this? I'm just looking for a sort of user review.
