Interaction Menu Lag?

I keep my mods separated and my skins and sliders separated just for safety and to keep more organized if I need to delete some. Anyways, I've always had a slight lag when it came to clicking on my sim or another sim whether they be in my family or not, and I thought it was because nraas had to load in the menu, but just recently, it's been a lot longer, like ten seconds to load the interactions. Clicking on objects is fine, and the game isn't lagging at all, it's just the interactions. I thought nraas was the root of my issues, so I took out all nraas mods and tried playing the game, and the lag is still there. Also, I go through every time before I play the game and clear out the cache and the featured items and things like that, so I'm at a loss. Help?

Hello,

Try removing any mods which you don't really need or want - that's the first thing. Then go to My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 and delete the following stuff:

-CASPartCache.package
-compositorCache.package
-scriptCache.package
-simCompositorCache.package
-socialCache.package
-plus the contents of the folders "WorldCaches" & "Thumbnails"


Re-start the game and see if anything improved. Good luck !
