Have you started to disable/uninstall packs?
Yesterday I disabled the lovestruck expansion pack in my save. The reason was because I noticed that my loading times in my save started to increase more and more to the point where I had to wait a v...

Have not disabled any packs yet
I have All EP minus For Rent, All GP, 14 SP, 25 kits
and this one save I have been playing since 2019 and yeah my computer is getting bit loud at times 😅
but I haven't run into major issues after that weird MWS issue where I had to downgrade some driver settings to make the game run at all again, sure some neighborhoods are more prone to crashing still like Glimmerbrook and Tartosa for some reason (which is strange cause I don't even have much anything in my Glimmerbrook to explain that and my more built worlds are fine 😅)
but other than that its been same-ish since I did that downgrade running quite okay I'd say considering my big save with zillion half complete builds and playing all the maxis sims all having their zillion likes and dislikes and turn on turn offs and whatever I have set them up with
Think I'm mainly trying to do population control as my first remedy tbh seeing if there is any sims I might shove on grims list as I go... well one good thing about mainly playing maxis sims is that I can always add them back if I regret removing them 😅 but so far no big regrets.
same with any builds that I keep, removing some unneded decor as I go to make them bit less demanding to run
I probably theoretically could remove some packs I use more rarely but I've just been using whatever wherever so it would be pain to rebuild all the builds/restyle all the sims affected so I feel like I probably won't unless I run into sim apocalypse and even then I'll probably be too heartbroken to start over 😅
I remember you mentioning that on the old forums that MWS caused your game to run slower. Good that you found a way to fix it. 👍
Yeah, I would be heartbroken as well. It's not good to put all eggs (sims?) in one basket. But I like to see my sims and sims from the gallery in the worlds, not randomly generated sims.
Yeah, still wish there was way to disable randomly generated sims all together and I could assign those NPC roles they spawn for to my existing sims, would make life so much easier 😅 but I do delete them after every session to keep them in check.
I back up my save regularly too but yeah very much one basket situation here as well 😅
Which is why I've been trying to finish some of my eternity builds lately to get them on gallery at very least 💀 like with sims I'm very much " Oh well I suppose I'll start this family over then" but losing all the builds would be whole another nightmare to deal with 😅
If you do decide to 'bounce' some of your Maxis sims, Simmingal, be sure to save them to your gallery library; that way, should you decide you want to add them back in for your game, they'll at least still have all their skills and stats, rather than you starting them from zero once more. 😉
