Thanks for this Ella!!!! Would you ever consider doing Hidden Springs? It's such a pretty world but so laggy. Love your world fixes!

Seriously, they need to hire you to do this at Electronic Arts.

Thank you! For your continued support. Fixes are useless if nobody uses them.

So, any issues with this one?
I tried messing with the chunks but didn't see any visible difference in gameplay - on freezes/lags or lack thereof.

Lag in Starlight Shores has reduced significantly since I added these fixes. I still get the occasional hangup, but I doubt it's routing related. Many thanks for this fix, I actually quite enjoy this town.

Thank you so much for this fix. Starlight Shores was not good to play because of the routing issues. Now I am sure it will be very nice. I use and appreciate all your world fixes!

Thank's! But I know from my experience, that fixed world files works better for me, than resources. I think I must do something wrong, and when I update my world files, they work worse, than when you do it I'll try this resources anyway, as always. And as always, I'm really gratefull.... The game works worse and worse from one EP to another, so any help in it's fluency is welcome.

I'm not sure if this is something to do with the fix, or an existing problem that lag prevented from ever fully realizing on my copy, but I noticed an inordinate number of Sims dying in Starlight Shores, most from starvation. Anyone else experiencing this?

Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate.

I believe that happens when a Sim is looping through an incomplete Gig/Profession activity and all the other Sims are then stuck waiting for that looping action to finish, which it never will.
That situation happens when not playing with the corrective mods, like those recommended in the Freeze wiki. Read these:
- Game Help:Intermittent Freezeswiki
- http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/tag/crowds

If you need further help on the issue (the links I provided didn't solve it), please post in Game Help Q&A forum (See Help menu).
Inconceivable!

I can't believe I missed this before! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I know you have the .world file out now, but I prefer to just add the resources myself. It always runs so much smoother with your fixes.

I appreciate you taking the time to fix the map, Starlight Shores was unplayable for me before. Thank you!
