Ambitions: What's borked
Claeric:
I think, perhaps, the mods folder in the documents is more efficient, at the cost of a longer neighborhood load time.
My game has felt WORLDS faster (not to mention worlds prettier, but that's just because the patch violently enhanced the lighting), and I am thinking it has to do with the documents mods folder and the longer neighborhood loading time. I think the game is loading the neighborhood for the most part, instead of just your house.
Although I should note that sometimes it loads relatively fast and sometimes it takes minutes at a time.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I did not have to wait for CC icons to load at all. Like, on a brand new install, there was no need to wait for my CC thumbnails OR game content icons to load. They were all there immediately, and the objects popped up as soon as I clicked on them. THis tells me there's some loading/efficiency changes going on. There was no need to rebuilt an object cache in-game, it was already there.

After a few hours of playing (no mods, no cc, in a completely virgin hood), I've run into a pretty bad bug -- the game seems to think my sim is his roommate's firetruck. I first noticed because the game was slowing to a crawl and eventually not responding at all and I had to ctrl-alt-del to get out of it. I have a save from just before it would slow down, so I was looking around to see if I could find what caused it, and low and behold the firetruck was halfway in the doorway of the stadium, where my sim was watching a game. I sent him home, and suddenly he was out in the middle of a field disappearing and reappearing into a hillside, and the truck ended up in the living room. I tried resetting the sim and putting the firetruck into the fireman's inventory, but the sim remains in the middle of the living room, although he performs actions, such as cleaning the toilet, on invisible objects in front of him (and meanwhile in the bathroom, the toilet did get clean). I'm going to try to start it again and delete the firetruck and see if that helps (and grab some screenshots this time!) -- I guess my fireman sim just won't be able to work from home!

Claeric- I have noticed that too. The amount of time it takes for my CC to actualy show up in the game is VERY LITTLE to none and gameplay is fast and wonderful. Its very quick and looks beautiful in game- but shoud I be waiting 7 minutes to play my neighborhood? I think that is just a ridiculous amount of time.

... and low and behold
Lo and behold FFS.
Meaning
An exclamation, on drawing others attention to something. Used especially to to announce things that are considered startling or important. The phrase is often written with an exclamation mark.
Origin
The word 'lo' as used in this phrase is a shortening of 'look'. So, lo and behold! has the meaning of look! - behold!. Lo in this and its other meaning, which is more akin to O!, has been in use since the first Millennium and appears in the epic poem Beowulf.

What is this horseshit? Back in my day we had the "well hell, might as well make myself a sandwich...eternal damnation! Out of mayonnaise. Best run to the store and- MARY SUE! Is that you? Haven't seen you in ages! Sure, I'd love to get a cocktail and catch up. Who is that scrumptious boy at the end of the bar? I should probably chat him up and what's that? Bar close? After hours party at my place where- hey look, the game is rereREticulating its splines, we're halfway there!" load times of TS2. AND WE LIKED IT!
Get off mah lawn, damn kids.
