Half of Bridgeport Sims stand around, doing nothing..
Engram:
I'm also experiencing this and will try the method of backing up the community lot, then bulldozing and placing a copy.
So far, of the people who are experiencing this and have listed the mods they have, the only things in common that I can see between all of us is Awesomemod and no mosaic. And we allow the stalker swarm. My only other mods are HP's LN camera fix, default skintones and eyes and CMAR's pointed ears sliders. I have a friend who doesn't use any mods or CC at all and she has been playing Bridgeport for 3 generations with no ill effects at all. Would be interesting to hear from someone experiencing this who DOESN'T use AM or no mosaic.
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo 2.53GHz
RAM: 4GB
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 (512MB)
OS: Win7 64-bit
I have all EPs and SPs.
For me, it started after I downloaded the version that was available on 30 Nov. This was BEFORE patching. I did not play between then and 2nd Dec. When I started playing 2nd Dec I noticed that there was noticeable lag which had not been present before. My game usually runs smoothly on high settings.
ETA: I also have DisableTouristSims enabled in my config and I have a tourist from China in Bridgeport. So AM is definitely not playing nicely with Bridgeport. Not saying that AM is at fault, but there is definitely something funky going on because she should not be there. This hood has never been played without AM so it's not like she had a chance to generate and then AM was installed afterwards. She should not have generated in the first place.

Well, I do not use the mod that is entitled "No Mosaic" over at MTS, because that mod says that it is base game only.
If we are loosely referring to any mod that removes the censor blur, such as the one included in AM, then I do use a no mosaic mod. I just use the one included in AM. I have the setting in AM that disables the community lot stalker effect.
I am almost certain that this problem was happening prior to the most recent patch, though I did not observe it happening until after I had patched. But before I had noticed the swarm and before I had patched, I did notice that there was some lag. I have a decently powerful rig, so I guess it didn't pile up enough for the lag to compel me to investigate before, but after I would use resetworld, for a short time, the lag would subside, and after bulldozing the building and the lot, the lag is completely gone. Moral being, that I noticed the lag before I patched, which turned out to be the result of everyone in my hood having 8-12 queud actions to head to the grind. Of course, the cascading pissing of pants and wailing passing out in puddles of piss that followed didn't help...
I don't use HPs camera fix, but jeez, if I wasn't about to move out of a penthouse I would totally get it. I DID use Nraas master controller at the time of the asshattery, though it continued even after I took that mod out. Since I have fixed it I have put the controller back in and no problems have resurfaced.
I'll say though, I haven't been able to figure out how to get a playable lot back onto the plot of land where the grind was, but I haven't really tried very hard to make it happen either (moveobjects maybe?) I dunno, but even if I never get a lot back there I don't care, my game is fixed as far as I'm concerned.

I have been under the spell of the Dell Corporation for a number of years, would like advise for purchasing a new computer. Being dense about building a computer, I must make a purchase. Would love to know what kind of computer to shop for with $2k USD, and the computer will be useful four years from now.

Same here as EppurSiMouve, I only have awesomemod and no mosiac from anywhere else. I did notice the night to the Grind swarm it was the venue mentioned in the paper as being the place to go, so maybe that had something to do with it? As amusing as it is to see the whole down walk zombie style to the Grind over and over, I was tired of it after a day. The funny part was that once the club closed that first night, one by one people would leave by taxi, only to get home and immediately walk back to The Grind. As for the lag, it didn't seem any different to me.

Can I suggest using AwesomeConfig then and removing your No-Mosaic? It's redundant to have them both, because you can use the AwesomeConfig page to configure a config file for awesomemod that by default removes the mosaic for you as part of AwesomeMod. No Mosaic has been known in the past to mess with other mods and files and I'm not experiencing any issues using the No Mosaic part of AwesomeMod.
