I don’t remember after which update/hotfix it started, but loading into build mode takes too long now.
Probably with the addition of the AI build mode(?)
This puts strain on the system and might also cause lower end PC’s to crash, so please consider a smoother start into build mode and lower the load of whatever is loading here ö.ö
If it’s the AI build mode, only load it when we select it (or give us the option to disable it), if it’s the houses preview (which I don’t think it’s the case, since the houses list loaded quite fast before), only load them if we select a house from the list.
Or let us start build mode from another category that is less demanding.
Do you experience this too?
- No, it loads still as fast as before
- Yes, it takes quite a while
- Yes, it causes crashes
It takes quite a while compared to the seamless switching between everything else in the game. For me it only laggs once when I open build mode for the first time per session. I think that’s because it has to load in the various house builds I downloaded from canvas. Not sure though.
Does it take very long every time you go into build mode even if it’s during the same play session?

Same for me. It is not very long but still you need to wait a moment and my PC matches the highest requirements so that should not be the reason.
Probably it starts happening when you have a lot of properties saved there. For me same thing happens in Canvas for the outfit section where I also have many outfits saved. It was not that way at the beginning but probably after a certain treshold of outfits / houses this starts to happen?

I don’t have any houses downloaded from canvas and not more than before it started to happen.

Oh… then it is probably not the reason. But my feeling is that it was better in the very early stage or is my memory misleading me? I think it started after a while but could be something different then number of saved houses, probably they changed something how they load when you access the page.
I have saved many of my own builds in different half built und fully built stages and different versions of the houses, some from Canvas too but not that many. For outfits it is the same, 90% my own so that I can reuse these as we cannot save entire Zois with all the outfits.

I didn’t built for quite a while and I often delete double versions of my houses, so I’m quite sure the number of saved lots was the same before and after it started lagging when I open build mode, and I’m quite sure it started after the AI mode was added.
And what @HeinziDerHeld stated is also true for my game, it only lags when I open build mode for the first time after loading a save.

Just checked. Same for me: second time all houses are there immediately.
Could probably really be the AI mode then.

They just need to open build mode on the furniture tab; It’s the one we use the most anyways.
This would give the houses tab time to load up in the background and allow us a less laggy experience
I usually just click the furniture tab as soon as I see it and I have access to build mode immediately with no lag.

Yes, it would be better if the furniture or building category would load first.
I’d still prefer an option so AI build mode wouldn’t load at all because I never use it.
This would also prevent crashes for already struggling systems.
