#big big problem

Or rather, regarding Evansdale County.

I can barely play at the moment, or rather, not really play anymore. The save file currently has 156 MB, which is really very small, but it's not so much the size of the save file, but rather the city itself that's giving me problems. And I made the mistake of not clearing the families before placing them, but rather transferring them as they were in their previous home. I put them in the library and placed them in the new city. That can sometimes be fatal…

What I mean by "clearing":

I save all Sims every time I edit them in CAS. Afterward, when I want to move to another city, I create all the households again in CAS. But that means that these Sims lose all the skills they've developed, no longer have any pictures in their albums, and all their relationships are ruined. Which doesn't bother me personally, because friendships and family relationships can be easily restored with the Master Controller, as long as the family trees aren't already huge. Now I'm faced with this difficult decision again: what to do. I have to come up with an explanation as to why people no longer live in Evansdale County, but in another city. And I really wanted to solve the Gobias case. I might have to create a verbal flashback, which wouldn't be a problem for me. But I don't want to give up on this story, even though I don't yet know where it's going to end. Perhaps one or two of you can come up with an idea as to how this can be resolved story-wise. But this city is simply unplayable, at least not with Sims already fully loaded.

I also often have serious problems with the graphics in the game. For example, when I go up to the city view and then back down to the ground, it takes an incredibly long time for the houses to display normally again. Everything is gray and only materializes many seconds or even minutes later.

Been trying to do it for days, it just doesn't work.
