I've been working on upgrading all my farms, have a lot of layering, even ghosted facs (I've almost gotten rid of all those, just 1 left). I've cut down on my plots for planting. I did have them all at 9x9 and now I have several down to 3x3. So far nothing has helped. I don't know what else I can do. I clean my computer all the time and that includes clearing the memcache. I've been playing this game since 2009/2010 and I would hate to have to give it up. It only happens while I'm playing FT. I sure hope you can help me. Thank you so much!

Hi JuliesNot Goofy,
I moved your post to the thread about loading issues. The recommedation for the game is 8GB of memory.

Layering can cause problems even though they may work perfectly for a while. The 9x9 layering of crops is ok, but when you layer trees and flowers and facilities over those then you can start having problems. Your laptop fan running loudly means you are working the processor very hard trying to process all the data for those farms which makes the laptop heat up and the fan to have to work harder trying to cool it. Removing the over layer trees, flowers and possibly waters would help.

One thing you both might want to consider is taking it in and have the laptop physically cleaned. They do tend to suck in a lot of dust and that also can cause heating problems that the fan is trying to cool.
