Okay so I really like the Sims (3!) But .... [consultation/ventilation post]
I really like the game - Sims 3, recently I've had a bit more time to play, which I haven't had for a long time, but there are some technical issues that bother me:
1- I run the game through Origins, there is a new problem that Fast Lane doesn't appear at all in Launcher (it was purchased via Origin and appears as installed) ... Anyone had this problem in the past (with EP/SP)? I tried to re-install Origin, I tried to re-install The Sims. As if I had just started the game from scratch - but again when I open the launcher Fast Lane does not appear ... It's not that I have to play it all the time, but if I already have it I would like to play with it occasionally. I also had a really long chat with an EA representative and all the suggested solutions didn't help.
2- I have this thing that I really like to download custom content for the game, it's my addiction and my enjoyment of the game, I think it adds a lot of cool and special things - I can't play without it. I have a lot of store content as well as other content ....
I also have quite a lot of mods.
But it is impossible to play.... The loading times are extremely long and when in game - it gets stuck every second ...
The most annoying thing is that I've tried to run an empty save without all the CC from sites, and without mods, and with no EP/SP enabled, only the store content (the .ebc files)- and still the game was very slow! I have reached the point that I have almost all I want from the store, to the degree I can't play it.
Some people will say "switch to Sims 4" but I don't really like it. I really invested in Sims 3, I want to continue playing Sims 3 but need solutions.
Any ideas?

Just to note that I pretty much cleaned a lot of the unofficial CC, and - if it's only the .dbc files- it runs okay. and with the .package files / mods I know already that merging them helps a lot. But what can be done with the store content? I can't use the specific precise items I want. For example- Midnight Hollow, I like the objects, I like the families, I think I can manage without the town itself all the time, and I would really wish to get rif of the clothing/most of the hairstyles/CAW parts of this world... It is not like an expansion pack, but also installing just a specific parts of it is kind of complicated....
If you read so far- thanks! Suggestions will be much appreciated.
