Dumb neighborhood question
Count Four:
This isn't a big deal, but it's kind of a nuisance. The game is slow on the neighborhood screen. Noticeably slow for my computer. Clicking on the control panel means a wait of up to two or three minutes for the panel I've clicked for to open. On this computer, that seems slow.
What causes this? In my custom hood, the only decorations are two rows of trees (the ones that are placed as a full row, not individual trees placed in a line), two redbud trees and one 'surf' thingy. (Strangetown has more than that, but I didn't put 'em there.) The custom hood only has eight houses so far, and four (small) community lots. I only use the Maxis neighborhood terrains or maps or whatever they are called. I never download neighborhoods, neighborhood decorations or lots.
No subhoods at all, not on any hood. I never used them much, so I stopped adding them.
The only 'extra' pointless visual thing on the neighborhood screen that I can think of that might be contributing to the lag is the traffic. If it's the traffic, can I get rid of it?
Thanks!
edit: fixin' subject line
notveryawesome:
I think there's a way to disable traffic from neighbourhood view using a cheatcode, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it is. I'm sorry that was of absolutely no help.
Count Four:
Okay, dug up the cheat codes again and found "boolprop displayNeighborhoodRoads (True/False)". I'll check later, see if no roads/no traffic fixes the lag. I hope that's all it is.
Solowren:
Do you have neighborhood drift enabled, under the camera settings? In some cases, having this enabled can slow things down. Other than that, I can't think of anything that'd be causing that much lag.

I have the lag thing happen in my Legacy Hood; I assumed it was because it was full of sims with complicated relationships.
