Slow loading saved game & new game

RaniiRainbow wrote:Hi

Whenever I want to load a saved game or start a new game, it takes forever to load.
I have already tried things like deleting DCBackup and those cache files (not the DCCache, but those in the Sims 3 folder), but it won't work.
I also tried starting my sims without using downloaded creations, but it's still taking a lot of time so I think that's not the problem.

Last time I played was a few weeks ago, and then it took like 5min to start a saved game, now it's still loading after 15min!
I think it's because I installed other neighbourhoods... So I deleted them and started the game (without downloaded creations) but it still won't work.

Can anyone help me pls?

Specifications of my laptop can be found if you google MSI GE70 2OE.
I don't know that much about those specifications so I'd rather let you check them.
But I am 100% sure my laptop can run The Sims 3, I tested it on "Can You Run It" and I changed the settings in Nvidia so The Sims uses my graphic card to run faster.

Thanks!


EDIT


I halve also updated the launcher to 1.63, maybe this could be the reason, I just don't know how to fix it...
When loading a saved game it's stuck at the end of the bar
When starting a new game it's stuck at the middle of the bar

I hope this information may help to find a solution...

I have tried a lot of things already... I deleted al the mods, even in the launcher, and it still won't load.
So then I deleted my base game, and the latest expansion (Into The Future) and re-installed them without mods, and it worked. I have 238GB of free space on my C disk, and 209 on my D disk.
My laptop is running Windows 8, so it defragments on its own in a background process, but I'll try running it myself and see how it works.

I'm having some free time tomorrow, so I'm going to delete and re-install the base game & the latest expansion, and I'll place package by package untill I find the one that blocks my game...

Thanks for the help, I'll let you know if it works!

Hello,

Yes, you have to be really careful with these mods; even if the instructions say they are "compatible" with a particular patch level, some mods might still cause trouble (I can speak from a lot of experience in that).

Indeed, usually the best method is to put in one mod, start the game and see if it works. If it does, exit the game, put in the next mod, and so on.

And yes, please keep us updated !
