I am the centre of the universe: reason no. 85

The Sims 3 has been delayed until August because I am not even close to being mentally ready for it yet. I'm just that important. *snicker* The ego has landed.

Seriously, though, this wouldn't bother me in the least, and I think they should delay it to fix their countless, countless bugs, if they do exist (and, let's face it, they most likely do). However, I do feel bad for people who were getting really excited about it, and even pre-ordered it. *consoles cindyanne1* There, there. It will be okay.

I wonder if it's true? Seems likely to me. They delayed Spore for ages, didn't they?

Oh I don't blame you at all! I would have no desire to play a game that didn't run well. I hate it, even now, if my Sims 2 game lags for any reason. That's part of the reason my lots always look so bare and why I started off preferring the desert neighborhood. My Dell would always lag if I had a lot of landscaping and/or decorations, and while my current computer can handle it a lot better, I still think my game runs better with less decorations (that and I am a lazy sim decorator, lol.)

But I totally get that. I'd rather have a bare, boring and FAST game than a beautifully decorated slow one.

*applauds*

That's why I can't go back to the game on my old computer. Yeah, I COULD play but it would be so slow and annoying.

I agree with you, to a point, but I do love having the option to add cc. It brings something extra to the game and lets us personalize it.

The amount of cc I use does affect my loading times a little, but it's worth it to me for that personal touch (and having something, anything, other than the Maxis eyes - if I added only one piece of cc, it would be default replacement eyes). I'd draw the line at lagging, though. That does take away from the enjoyment of playing, and even taking pictures for a story.
