Long Loading to Main Menu

I read that it now takes longer to the load to the main menu, and it does. Also based on what I have read, this was apparently intentional to make the rest of the game load faster, which it doesn't. I launched TS4 for the first time in a while, and the loading time between the lots has not changed, but now we have to deal with long load times to the main menu. Without seeing any improvements to loading anywhere else and now this long load to the main menu, this is a step backwards and it makes testing mods and finding broken mods very tedious!
