Merging mods/cc

@nadineabdoun When people were testing this several years ago, it didn't improve load time. A few people say it does, but I'll note below why it's a bad idea anyway.

If your issue is game load time, when launching Sims 4, go to Options > Other and turn off the option to show mods and CC on loading.

Here's why you shouldn't merge files:

• When a mod or CC item is reported broken, you won't be able to see that you have it. It won't show up in search, and reading through your folder won't show it.
• When you're doing a 50-50 to find the item breaking your game, you'll find a merged folder of lots of stuff that you'll then have to unmerge to test
• If you download an update of a CC item, you'll end up with a duplicate or you'll have to find where you put it and unmerge that file
• If you accidentally download content you already own, you'll end up with duplicates, and that is a lag cause.

Ok! Thank you won’t do it then!

Hey guys! 
so I recently did the whole Mods and CC transfer to my SSD but the load time is soooo long ! I thought switching to an SSD would help but still nothing.. I do have a lot of kids around 45k but I asked before which ssd reads the fastest and someone suggested the Samsung T7 but I see no difference any tips on how to make it load faster ? I heard merging mods helps but not recommended. Anything else ? 
thanks! 🙂

@nadineabdoun Merging mods causes more problems than it solves. Instead, you can set your Options to not show you the list of mods/CC on loading the game.

Hi @Bluebellflora !

I only have my sims 4 files stored on that external drive other files are either on the MacBook itself or another hard drive ! So there’s sadly no way in minimizing the loading time ? No solutions right?

Ok, thanks 🙂
