What happens when the bug occurs? Hi, I just bought cottage living and my game has suddenly bloated in file save and running the game takes up 97% RAM in the task manager. It takes ages to load and ages to save. I did use a lot of CC (about 28GB) but even after removing them all I'm having this issue. The issue did not occur before buying cottage living and ran smooth and quickly, I went back to an old save and it was much faster and it didn't eat up RAM but I'm at a loss. I really don't want to lose the work that I've done on the farm by going back to an old save. I delete local cache every time but I cannot figure out why my game was fine in June when I last played, and now suddenly I have to wait ages for things to load? I am at a loss Important: I Have read about the game creating thousands of other/unused households and this has not happened to me, I only found two blank households. My other households only has about 100 sims and they are sims that I actually know, so I don't believe that I have the household bug, I have cleared homeless sims with mccc but nothing changed.
What do you expect to see? To not wait 10 minutes for a game to load and not take up 97% ram
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Huge bloating and ram intake but I don't know why
