London Mod slower than LA Mod

[huxan]

When I play the London Mod 1.3 I have considerably lower frame rates when playing the campaign vs freeplay mode. 

Also mods like LA Mod for example run much much smoother. 

I have a very high spec PC that should easily be able to run the game.

Is this simply because the London Mod is more graphically intensive/less optimised or is this issue unique to just me?

 

Thanks!

London mod is perhaps less optimized.

Its rather unfair comparing LA mod to alot of mods though. LA mod was extremely optimized for its time 8 years ago, and still beats out a lot of mods in terms of performance.

I wont go into detail as to why modern mods are alot less optimized, but all mods of that era were made in the days when computing power wasnt as good as it is today. Modders had less headroom to implement high res textures, high poly models, and constant running scripts. Those mods (at the time) ran about the same as the London mod for example these days.
