    My Sims 3 game takes hours to load- whether it's a new game or a previously saved file. When it does finally load, it's extremely laggy and it takes about ten minutes for all my content to load still. I have three expansions; Pets, Supernatural, and Seasons. I do have quite a bit of custom content- but I haven't put any new mods in and I haven't updated my game because my game never works after an update. (My game is currently updated to the latest patch though.) All my mods are up-to-date, and even though after I first updated my game, it was a bit slow, it worked afterwards. I hadn't touched my game for a week or two when I decided to play it again, and it was slow. Extremely slow. It took about an hour and a half to load my game- I really can't afford to have my game take so long if I ever want to play it again. I'm in an advanced school program, so I have lots of homework and I just don't have much free time anymore. Do any of you guys have any tips? ;n;

    Well Chibi-Meg (I thought of that, and loved it... If you don't like it, let me know), we all have that problem :/ When my game starts, I select my family, and then I go take a walk and maybe eat a sandwich while I'm at it...
    Sims 3 really is laggy from the core...

    This is how my game is too, it's because of all the custom content.

    Ahaha, that's actually a pretty appropriate nickname for me XD I draw chibis in my free time c: And I really wish it was faster ._. The updates don't some anything, they just add some more stuff.

    Oh ugh ;-; I guess I'll be getting up earlier to play Sims from now on XD I'm not giving up my cc, it's too beautiful.

    Just do what I do. Turn on the sims, go take a walk, choose your family, go watch TV. Come back 10 minutes later xD

    The Sims 3 team should come up with a way to make the game really fast if you have cc installed .-. They would just be wonderful.

    For me, loading the game doesn't take so long, it's more loading the towns/families. But when I'm waiting for it to load, I usually either take a nap it watch a movie. XD

    My point exactly xD Loading the game for me doesn't take much time either, it's the latter thing you said too

    If it has that, then I might just accidentally die of happiness.

    Yeah I hope TS4 would be fixed. Come on EA, do not miss this up!

    But yeah my game takes ages too. And CAS with all my content takes forever, the frequent pauses in time, and stuff. All our games take forever. I'd just be happy as long as my game doesnt' crash these days.

    In my CAS the content icons don't even load no matter how long I wait, so I have to guess what I'm putting on which only makes CAS a million times longer. You have no idea how long it took to create my avatar sim and I didn't even bother with any of her other outfits except everyday wear.

    Yes, CAS is just not fun anymore. It is a freaking chore with the load times. My sims keep the same clothes on forever until they transistion and EA decided to make them look like a freak.

    All I do is edit the every day outfit and I'd give them just any matching formal outfit, etc...there are times where I am in the mood and may put work into it though, but usually that is if I am making the sim for te first time.

    And the fashion designer career, yeah you cant' even be a fashion designer anymore. xD My sim had her first client and that took 30 minutes for 3 new every day outfits and a new hairstyle...yeah, she had to quit that xD.
