I play routinely on Key West Island and it is notoriously laggy and now crashy although the avi load is just 40ish.

I would like to help the sim owners fix it but I sort of need to point them to the right information so they can do it themselves.

send you a sim status monitor. doesn't really help, but its fun to look at.

Thanks Molly. I should ask a better question: how does one diagnose, analyze or "point to" complex mesh objects covered in enormous textures?

Are you experiencing sim lag or viewer lag?

if it's viewer lag, it's typically easiest to enable wireframe mode (control shift R) and look around at how complex things are. If things look solid, even from close up, they are likely causing issues.

You can also assess whether an asset is using too many/too large textures by selecting it and hitting control shift alt T

I always thought part of the problem at Key West is the build itself. Those textures..... Aki's suggestion might locate the problem

Thanks Aki!
