On top of that the world has many routing issues and other problems that can lead to lags on the most high-end PCs.

Wrong or No SimPort stamp
Problem After sending my Sim through SimPort, I got the wrong stamp After sending my Sim through SimPort, I got no stamp at all.

Sim can’t marry

Problem Babies and toddler are always dying in my neighborhood. I do not get a message about it. I just can’t find them. There’s a baby in my family tree but I can’t find it anywhere.
