yeah, the map is unoptimized as hell. 1200MB upon opening is just nuts. there is zero reason why a map should ever take up so much space. it is possible to spawn models, but actually working with them and posing them is practically impossible, as SFM keeps crashing. this is ridiculous. the most unoptimized map I used before this one took up 800MB and even that would be considered way too much. I think the best fix for this would be to first of all break the map in 2 or 4, and then turn it into models which you can attach together if you need to. this way you could manage the memory a lot better.

but that would require a lot of effort, and I don't see it happening any time in the future.

it's a nice concept, but wildly unoptimized
