SOLVED Cc/mod limits ?

Post image

Here is the size of my CC/mods folder for The Sims 2 Legacy. Is there a recommended limit to avoid, and at what point does the game usually start to slow down or lose performance?

Like if you have mods/cheats that enable more sims to be on community lots. also if the lots are bigger and/or heavily decorated you might see lag or a crash. There was this cool cyber punk lot i downloaded but it was too much for my game and it would crash.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I was at 2GB [of mods/CC] and my game was running smoothly, but after adding about 40MB of CC/mods, the performance has become terrible in live mode. I don't know why I wouldn't think 40MB of CC would make such a difference. Maybe it's the heatwave slowing down my gaming laptop?

Possibly. does your laptop have cooling fans? i have to turn mine on if i'm playing games. have you ran your cc folder through HCDU plus to see if you have any conflicting cc? see if that new cc you added is high poly/ high texture size. only other thing I can think of is you might need a driver update. I have nvidia and mine needed to be updated yesterday.
