With Sonia dead, and Mint's LTW not being fulfilled no matter how many times we saw Sonia, I decided it was finally time for a new house. I spent two days building them a house with all the bells and whistles a spoiled sim could want. Changed everything to purple to match the generations color, and then let them loose. I stuck with a single story so I could keep an eye on everyone better, but the house was huge! On a 64X64 lot with 5 bedrooms, 2 outhouses, 3 bathrooms and a bunch of other stuff. There should be no failing in this house! Or so I thought.
"I haz feetz!"
You always have.
"Yes, but not they are puckered feetz!"
"I do not approve!"
Oh blah, you needed a new house.
"I gave up blood, sweat and tears to build the other one!"
Oh you did not, stop being over dramatic and enjoy your rocking chair.
Everything started to lag, not bad, but enough that it was a bit irritating. I sent Calliope to get some more magic time in, she wanted to go to the fall festival, so I thought that was a good start.
"Abracadabra!"
And we have another toad!
Love spell anyone?
Calliope, then wanted to go through the haunted house. Why not, she's there. And she comes out a ghost! What!! Apparently while she was going through the house an evil witch cast a curse on her. HA! Guess that is Karma!
She then see's Rodger and his wife, still a little offended he was already married, she tortured his wife a bit.
Oh now we can summons a haunting on sims! Let's do that! She summoned Zander to haunt Sheree a bit.
We found out later, poor Sheree had died. Hmmm wonder if that had anything to do with us?
Done torturing the town for the night, we headed back home.
Stupid Sonia came out an enjoyed herself in the hot tub.
"I haz feet!"
Why are you guys so surprised by this! What do you think you walk on all day long?
"They are see through feetz!"
By this time the game was so laggy I couldn't even play. I wanted to take my laptop and throw it through the window, but decided to just build them a smaller house, on a smaller lot, and go from there.
It wasn't as cool as the first one.
Why did you run down the street to use the bathroom?
"I had to go real bad!"
But you have 3, plus 2 outhouses at your house!
"Did you want me to pee myself?"
Okay, okay I won't complain.
And Mint passes out before she even get's into the house! Oh boy!
Then poor Matilda passes out. The lag was soooo bad!
We had good spots were the lag wasn't half as horrible and we were able to get the toddler skills done.

When we moved to this new house, and placed the gravestones, I couldn't see them! It was showing something was there if you hovered over the area, but they didn't show up. I was afraid we lost our ghost family members! I had Calliope go down to the town graveyard and pick up Pepper as he still was there. I placed his gravestone down and it was visible just fine. Well what the hell! My ghosts still come out though, I just can't see their gravestones or move and pick them up. Sucks cause now I can't change lots!
Ugh! Stupid lag! I can blame it on that right now LOL. Mint passes out again!
I then decided to try one more time in this hood. If things kept going bad, I was going to move them to a new hood and see how that went. We were able to get through Matilda and Amaris' birthday before it got so bad I couldn't play.

Then Matilda passes out again. Yep, time to move!
So I packed Saxton and Harper into the house, and moved the whole lot to the library hoping it would save our ghosts too. Loaded up Appaloosa Plains and plopped them down. So far I haven't played them since, but we will see. I think I am actually going to move them to Hidden Valley or whatever it is called, I read it is the smallest EA world, so hopefully it won't be so bad. If that doesn't work, it's back to a small cracker jack house for them, as that seems to be when the problems started.
Wish me luck!
