interaction menu loading slow
I use a MAC for the sims. This issue never happened to me when I first got it. I do have and use mods but even with them they went pretty fast/normal speed for the menu to pop up. Now it takes like 4...

To be exact it’s 4 second delayed to pop up. Same with computer and fridge (these being less annoying since you simply interact with those less then with other sims and those tend to walk away in those 4 seconds). The game runs without a problem. It loads a bit long but except for that it’s fine once it does. I shut off background applications, start up applications and removed some mods that have an interaction wheal. That did nothing. The interaction menus just loads too long. 4 seconds every time you click on a sim is just absurd since most interactions take less time. Also once it loads it’s fast. I pretty much playing on pause so the other sim does split while the game gets its stuff together. I go through mod updates every single time there is a game update. I don’t use mods that did not update recently. I don’t use basemental, kawaii Stacie or some mods that are blamed for this. I do use woohoowellness but without it this game is trash. It’s one of the few mods I simply find fun. I use traits from Chingu but once again without it the game is crap. I know the issue is mods and only mods. It’s not installation issues since I reinstalled the mods twice to make sure and read instructions carefully. A year ago EA said the issue is inventory, but that’s not true since I have this issue with empty inventories (and fridges) and if it was that’s on EA to fix. They designed the game with inventory being the only source of maintenance and game dynamic work through it: like to do things like upgrades, alchemy etc. I have acer gaming laptop. 16gb of ram and it’s only a year old. Everything on this computer works smoothly. My computer turns on quicker then the game loads an interaction menus. So like I said there is no solution. You either play a boring, error ridden game in fast mode or mod it and have it stall every time you try to finally enjoy it. If anyone makes a mod to fix this it will probably be the only time it will be fixed. Because EA don’t care.
@CircuitD Let’s also add that sims constantly terminate your queued list of tasks and that includes interactions making this issue a far bigger problem than one might think. This is a ea issue. Not addressed since the game inception.
Is your RPO fully updated? Lumpinou has made a lot of changes to it recently, and some might help address your issue. For the RPO mods it's always best to fully delete the mods before updating to the new versions.
Chingyu's mods should have no impact on loading the interaction menus.
To once again reiterate my mods themselves are always updated. Yes lumpinu updates all the time I check almost every time I plan to play the game. Every single mod I use right now is either updated or compatible. Not updating is not the issue. The real issue is that I shouldn’t need half the mods I am using if only EA would release games after quality control not treat their customers as play testers. Honestly this game is so broken and butchered they should be ashamed of the quality of work they are producing. EA are lazy, ambitiousless, greedy and have no pride in the product they released. Since they are a game company they face zero consequences for releasing broken products. So anyone know a mod that would care more than the people that actually get paid for this game?
