I like plenty of room for lots and plenty of living space really close to the main city. I use comm lots for skilling since they have so many bonuses, and nothing sucks more than having to go from the arse end of a hood across town to gain a quick level in athletic/at the library. I also find that 20 x 20 or 25 x 25 lots are a good size for a house and a garden, while still keeping a more inner-city suburb feel to it.

I suspect in my LN game the neverending pause is related to mixology. Something is borked on the skill gain and for some reason when a sim is about to gain the first skill point it pauses forever. I figured that out by chance after 3 different games. I have no idea who are the sims freezing the game on my first saves but on the last one if I make my sim read a mixology book or practice on a bar it pauses forever at the skill gain. I didn't notice this before because I usually send them to a class.
The problem is I cannot prevent NPCs from practicing or learning skills. I suspect some other new skills are broken - this was reported on the BBS. On my other save games I can avoid freezing by using ResetWorld a few times, but it is getting too frequent now so it is impossible to play. I have to investigate this though, my very first game playing Late Night never paused or crashed for over 6 sim weeks. I did few interaction with celebrities and didn't try most new features.
The only mods I have installed are AwesomeMod and Twallan Master Controller. Games played with store content but no other CC, cache deleted.
Just remember, AM is not updated for LN yet.

Find a computer store near by that has a good rep. Custom builds in Aus are $99 for labour including OS install/driver install/etc. Most will offer you a warranty, it can be a good idea to take it.
I am running an AM3 6core with 6gb ram and I still want more, so go as high as your budget allows - that way in 2 years time it will still pull it's weight. Video cards and ram are easy upgrades. If you go amd, make sure the board is AM3 - don't settle for EOL stuff, it will be cheaper now, but will kill you when you need to replace your mobo as well as your cpu.
Where are you geographically Lion, and what is your budget? I now do this stuff for a living, so I am happy to give you pointers.

In QLD the closing times are between 2am and 5am. I would love a hack to modify the close times or to make a 24hr bar. How can my sims have a serious bender if they get kicked out at 2am?
