Issue
When placing wallpaper (and sometimes floor tiles) the game lags extremely and I can hardly place anything
Cause
Patch 1.44.83 only somewhat helped with this issue so it’s still treated as open bug.
According to SimGuruNick on twitter, the lag only occurs on blocks attached to roofs.
Workaround
Delete every roof object first, then place the wallpaper
Be aware that this is only a temporary workaround until Maxis can fix the issue permanently.
