When entering build mode, often there is a serious FPS loss. The FPS never recovers, no matter how long you wait in build mode, and if you manage to get your cursor over to switch it back to live mode, the FPS loss is still there. You have to close the game and restart it to regain normal FPS.
This wasn't happening until the recent updates 1.25-1.27
Edit: Here's the link to the report from the console board. Game Constantly Lagging when I Enter Build Mode I had redirected users to make a bug report but they hadn't at the time of my making this report.

That any many other bugs I can't seem to get read of no matter how many times I restart reboot and rebuild data reinstalling the game it's like a never ending story

Hey, I was wondering has there been a patch for the lag during the build mode or lag in general it’s so annoying. Especially when you’ve purchased packs.

The game is running extremely slow for me when I try to place items from my household inventory into my planter box to plant. The first time it’s quick, but every time after I have to wait like 2-3 minutes every time I select a plant, place it, then try to select another from a stack. It is very frustrating, and causing the gameplay to run slow for a few seconds after returning to live mode.
