Fargo Updated
The_Goddess:
I only have the one version. I did have to fix a few roads and reposted the updated version just 3 days after the first unveiling. Other than that I'm playing the same hood. I have notice a lot of pedestrians. Personally I like it. All of my households own one or two cars and a bike or two as well. I see a lot of cars on the road and bikes two. I believe the game limits the amount of cars on the road at any given time. If you have lots of people that might account for it seeming excessive to you. It seems as if my Sims are more active in this town then in any other town I've played. I love how they all seem to gather at the center of town in and near the center park.
I also found it little funny how some Sims cut through other Sims yards to get to the market, but I had seen similar behavior in Riverview, when I played that hood. I really did not use all that many sidewalks as I think they look funny without a road next to them. Now I know you can have invisible sidewalks. That would have allowed me to choose where their short cuts would be. It also means that the amount of pedestrians seems higher because they are all along the road and not on back trails.
As for the freezes, I really don't get very many of them. Occasionally I'll get a slight pause, I zoom in or out and it starts right up again. I guess there could be routing issues, but I've never seen a stuck Sim, and I know better than to use Supreme Commander in my hood. I put spawners on the island. If you have Sims living on the Island and they decide to come in to town, you will have a serious routing issue. I decided the island was a bad idea and bulldozed the homes I had there. My next world will be a bit different. I don't think I will make that one available, because I have plans for it to be even bigger. That means that people who are not playing on a rocking gamming rig might have serious lag problems.

Thank you for reply.
I have the updated version with fixed roads. I have maximum the same amount of people as in Sunset Valley(about 80 total, with service). No houses on island.
I get freezes all the time, the frequency depends on how many neighbors are there. If there is only one(active) family in hood, then there are no freezes at all. As hood gets more populated the freezes get more frequent. When I had almost the same amount of people as in Sunset Valley, freezes were happening every 5-10 sim minutes and were going on for about 10-30 sec real time, which made it completely unplayable. So I decided to check what they were doing and found many sims going across the hood on foot. Since at night freezes stop(sims sleeping) I concluded that that was the issue.
I really like this hood and I already spend a lot of time on it placing houses so it would be a shame not to be able to use it now.
I have other populated custom hoods as well but no freezes there.

Do you still have a usable community lot on the island? It might be a good idea to double check to make sure all island lots are bulldozed and just to be on the safe side, change the community lots there to residential. If you have Sims wanting to get over there it might be a problem. Perhaps I should give some thought to revamping some of Fargo's issues and re-uploading it. It should have a bridge to the Island and it needs more sidewalks. I have gone through the routing map with a fine tooth comb, and can find no places where a sim cannot route to something, other than the island. I was very careful about that as it annoyed me to no end in China to see stones my Sim could not reach. As annoying as it was, I loved the Island in France, but if the Island is what is causing these woos It needs a bridge.
If I rework it; it will mean your Sims will lose all social interactions with non-household Sims when they move to the new town.
Edit/add... Also, after uploading the last time; I put the shuttle bay and airport back in for my game. I won't take it out again if I re-upload, but I will put more lots else ware to compensate.

Changed all lots on island to residential and looks like it helped. Gonna do more testing to be sure. Thank you for help!
Yep, definitely works now. I also removed some of the community lots I added just to b sure and it runs smoothly now. Thank you.

This is still my favorite world.
I would love to see a road to the little Island.
Because of the lag, I don't use it now :'(
