Thank you for the advice.
I don’t want to install an older version. I might try upgrading if anything.
I will try the tip about sequencing.

When I tried to cache, even that didn’t help. I still had the lag.
-
I tried both of those, and the object with the mesh deformer still lags behind 1 frame from the dynamic object.
This is the simplest scene with just two objects. Can you replicate and get the same result?

Ok, so I’ve realized that in addition to using the Arnold tag on the particle group–which gives very limited control to what object is emitted in the render and the basic properties–using a Cloner object with the object set to the Particle Group actually does let the emitted objects show up in the viewport and render. Before, I was trying to set the object as the Emitter itself, which is incorrect.
I don’t believe (at least with the version I am using) Arnold Scatter allows working with Particle Groups yet. I was not successful with that. It might work if I try updating Arnold.

Creative Cow isn’t letting me respond the way I want. It detects “spam”

I am actually using Arnold to render, and I’ve found that i need to apply an arnold tag to the particle group itself rather than the emitter object to get it to render anything.
I’m wondering now if I need to either set the Cloner Object to apply to the particle group as well, or maybe I’ll try arnold scatter on the particle group.
I am trying to get to use the effectors to randomize rotation.

My project is in meters.
I didn’t realize distance made that much difference.
I had a scene in space where the Earth was at the centre and distance was far to make it appear correct size.
C4D should give a warning like it does for low pyro resolution or high poly count for sims.
-
I finally figured out why all my simulations were breaking.
My objects were about 10 km from the origin point of my scene.
Apparently, the simulations completely fall apart if the objects are far away from the origin.
I now have no issues.

Thanks. I’ll see if I can figure it out.
Also, as far as I know, there is no way to use a vertex map to control where emission occurs. Only polygon or point selection tags can be added to the emission restriction.
