It is so bad now that is almost not worth playing. Stop and fast forward with very little to no real time play. It's not me, it's the game. VMK Techies, Please help us. So frustrating we really dread playing now!
The past few days have been like this for me as well. Only thing I can figure, it seems to be really bad when the kids are all out of school and also when new items come out, new months start, the mansion is FULL of everyone needing those credits. I usually don't have the problem during the morning during the school week and when it's not a holiday or a heavy vmk shopping time... Just too many people in the mansion and it's overload!
It was VMK problem. I kept stopping and startinf pretty bad in Pirates last night too. It was funny to suddelny see everyone go so fast around in circles when the lag let them go.
