| |
| − |
| |
| − | It has been established (read threads in [[#Related pages|Related pages]] section for background information) that games needed to be reset with the "''resetsim *''" ''cheat'' every few hours to alleviate the intermittent freezing and lagging. This is in games with mods like Overwatch installed. The lags is due to the game taking the time to recalculate the routing information when Sims/Pets get stuck in the world due to broken routing.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The freezes and lags are caused by broken routing in the worlds. This is explained in Armiel's tutorial on routing in the CAW tool: [http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=439329 Tutorial: Basics on sim-routing in Create a world-tool]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Before the fixes outlined here were implemented, even after doing the suggestions in [[Game Help:Intermittent Freezes]], the freezes and lags keep recurring. This is an attempt to remove the root cause of broken routing in the .world files.

| |
| − | Well, I appreciate any feedback.
| |
| − | You can post in the download thread's comment area if you have any issues :
| |
| − | * with repainting in CAW (although CAW forum might be better for this)
| |
| − | * with importing the resources
| |
| − | * with lags due to broken routing or areas I missed, preferably with an image so I can see exactly where.
| |
| − | * with the instructions, need clarifications or whatever.

| |
| − | <big>'''If That Didn't Work...'''</big>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Have you reread and gone through the instructions again, carefully? If you tried the DIY or S3PE solution, perhaps easiest is to wait for the downloadable .world(s) to be made available.
| |
| − | * Please post in [http://www.modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=551 Sims 3 Help] forums if you have issues with the game, especially if not related to routing lags.
