Hi everyone,
I'm really, really sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to get the assignment up in time, I'm too busy and my sims takes over an hour to load, leaving me no other option. I wouldn't like to drop out, but I won't get it in, so hopefully I'll be able to send it in with my next assignment, if that's alright?
I've been worrying about this all week, but I really don't have much choice, so I hope this is fine. I know it's rude and stupid of me to do this, but I hope everything is okay.
I have been checking in every day, but still haven't got used to the new forums so I haven't been logging in much. I'm going to try now, and will get the next assignment up for sure.
Apologies again,
Craig :\
Do you have a lot of custom content in your game? Have you tried removing some or merging files? Those are two ways to speed up your game :)
OH! Don't forget that renaming files helps as well! Rename anything with @, spaces, or . I'm not sure about other symbols and stuff, but try to keep the naming stuff to _ or - or ( ). This should help with at least some of the loading.
Other ideas are of course merging files, cleaning your save file (delete all of people and the buildings basically. I only use my model save file as just modeling), and making sure that the game is focused on your screen. I've noticed that minimizing it to do something else can slow it down. Also, I noticed that window mode instead of full screen helps me as well. ^_^
What was that about []sapces and @ ? Do they slow down the gmae? :O
There was a post on SimSecret, or whatever it is, about it. Apparently it does slow down the game. Another post later someone was saying thank you to the person who posted about it. I assume that it works, no matter how small, since the person was happy. xD I can't vouch for it since I barely have any custom content in my game at the moment, but I did rename the majority of my files and I did see a slight improvement.
Ohhh yep I remember that post! I'll try it out, but I only have 6 packages (all merged) currently :)
