Build Mode Lag
Hello fellow simmers
I've been playing TS3 for many years and this issue started about a year ago, out of nowhere.
What happens is that whenever I select windows or doors, or even columns in Build Mode, the game starts lagging, more so the mouse (when I try to turn the camera) and it starts jerking around, almost the same that happens when items in buy mode loads and you try to move the camera. I repeat, this camera/mouse lag only happens in build mode. It's not that big of a problem, as going into buy mode and back into build mode "resets" the issue, but it happens again when I try to work with windows, doors, and columns. It's just an issue I'd like to know if someone else experiences as well, as I know lilsimsie on YouTube also seems to have the problem. I've noticed it in her live streams for TS3.
I have tried more or less everything (I could think of), running the game without mods, deleting caches (which I do every time before opening the game anyway), running base-game only and even reinstalling the entire game and all the packs.
Here are my PC specs:
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 1050TI
RAM: 8GB
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz ( I know TS3 is extremely dependant on CPU)
If anyone has an answer to this issue or could help me resolve it, I would be eternally grateful.
