I can not explain how infuriating this game has become. I use the Sims mainly to create sims and bring characters to life, taking a few screenshots of them to archive and then closing the game without actually going into live mode. On the odd chance I do want to go into live mode and play with the sims I've made, there is little to enjoy about it since the game is constantly lagging. Over the last 3 months or so I haven't even been able to play as my sims because the live mode doesn't even work; same with build mode.
The game used to be fun and I'd spend hours on it, now, it's just a waste of storage if I'm being honest; which really hurts to say because I love this game and have been playing it since I was like 8.
