Lagging in game. [SOLVED]

Hi..

I have a problem.. it keep lagging every 5-10 second for a while.. sound or anything will be run smoothly except for my sim that will lag for few second.. the time also will stop during the lag including menu.. then it will continue and repeated! i try to update my graphic card but get error.. what should i do to solve the problem? it started yesterday.. i only installed all the sims 3 expansion pack provided by games4theworld.. no custom content or anything else..

graphic: ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650 1GB
model: Toshiba Satellite L645
cpu: i5 M460 2.53 GHz
ram: 6GB

Thanks

Does this happen to this old save? Can you create a new save to see if there are any differences?

hi..

thanks for editing the post

1) for lagging, still the same

2) for new save, i will try.. is that mean i will lost current game?

thanks

Creating a new save won't lose your old saves.

hi..

update:

1) lag is persist..

2) i try my old save game.. it loading in few minutes.. look like my current save game wont load.. so.. i wont be able to play my current game? 

thanks

Please rename the folder C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 to anything you like and run the launcher. Then, go to the renamed folder and move the folder Saves to the new generated folder "The Sims 3".

Now create a new save to see if there are any differences.

As for the save that cannot be loaded, I suggest check the folder Saves and see if there are any folders with extension ".sims3.bad". If yes, please remove the folders.

If this doesn't save your old save, please read this guide and check out method 5 and 6 from the guide. You can try renaming the backup folder associating with your current save from (the name of your save).sims3.backup to (the name of your save).sims3. Make sure to delete the folder with the name (the name of your save).sims3 beforehand.

already rename the folder.. and move the "save" folder to the new "the sims 3" folder.. may i delete the entire rename folder?

for end with ".bad", only my old save have the bad file, while my current save game have no bad.. and it still wont load..

Hello,

You can either the folder, but be sure you have backed up the folder "Saves". And I am sorry to tell you that if this problem persists (loading problem), the save is possibly corrupted and there are no solutions for this except the ones I have mentioned.

hi..

haha.. look like my current game is corrupted.. will it happen again when i playing new game? and may i know why it become corrupted since i save and exit in normal way?

Corruption can be of various causes, and the most common ones are Mods, Custom Content or corrupted caches. Sometimes the reason why the save is unknown (some of our users have corrupted saves and they don't have any CC or Mods), the only one to blame is EA.

Is your lagging problem solved?

i see.. i dont have any mods or cc in my games.. i only install all the sims 3 from games4theworld.. and i started my new games few days ago for new story.. yet it corrupted.. haha.. spend whole day and night to finish degree, get fund and nice job.. haha..

may i delete current save game in the save folder? so i wont feel sad?

i will play to see if the lagging persist or not..

thanks

Yes of course you can delete the corrupted save.

hi..

i just opened my old save game.. then i play for 10 minutes just to check.. look like the lag is over.. and i hope it wont happen again.. haha.. and i also worried if my new save game will be corrupted.. play since 5 pm on friday till 11 am on sunday and now it corrupted.. haha

btw.. thank you so much

just want to ask, here is my default setting.. does it will affect the lag in my game? planning to enable object hiding, change screen size to maximize my laptop screen and turn on the edge smoothing..

In your case, it won't affect much. Lagging is possibly caused by the caches.

oo.. thank you so much

happy weekend! ^^
