Sims 3 Loading Bar Stuck
Can someone help? I am 100% ready to lose my 🌺🌺🌺🌺. My Sims 3 game is taking ages to load, and the loading bar keeps getting stuck. If I wait an hour or even two, the game will load eventually but it's ridiculous I have to wait that long. The beginning part of the game loads fine, but once I select a family it always gets stuck. I have tried:
Save cleaner
SP3e to delete all the images
Disabling memories and using Nraas to delete all memories
Increasing the amount of RAM Sims 3 can use
The Nraas mod that's supposed to tell you if you have a corrupt file.
Messing about with the Sims 3 files (renaming the backup to the usual game, doing a factory reset and putting my saves back in.
These have made the bar move a little quicker, but it still inevitably gets stuck for over an hour. When I go onto Task Manager, it says the game is not responding. To be fair, the family I'm trying to load is pretty 🌺🌺🌺🌺 big (the Whelohff family with max Sims capacity), and when I tried a smaller family it didn't get stuck for anywhere NEAR as long (perhaps only 30 secs?). Is it just that it's a huge family? Is there anything I can do when it finally loads to try and minimise the loading time? I don't think the save is corrupt as it DOES load, it just takes freakin' forever.
@igazor - I've seen you around on old posts trying to help with this... any tips?
