my game will not load because my mods folder is to large
hey simmers I been trying to load my game with all my mods and my game takes forever to load .I currently have over 100+ GB of CC..whats the max amount of content to have.
Forum Discussion
@IamYourTrendSim There is no maximum amount of allowed custom content with Sims 4. However, as you're seeing, the more you have, the longer the game will take to load. Some of this depends on the speed of your system as well: the process will go faster if the data loading is stored on a solid state drive, or to a lesser extent if the processor and RAM run at faster speeds.
If you're unable to play because the game takes too long to load, then the solution (at least in this case) is to cut back on the cc. I can't tell you how much cc is too much, since that will depend on your tolerance for long loading times. But maybe there are items you never use in-game that you could put aside. Or you might have themed items that you only use in one or two saves; you could swap these back and forth depending on which save you intend to play. Some people even have multiple Sims 4 user folders (the one in Documents\Electronic Arts), each with a different theme, e.g. one has Medieval content, another has magic fantasy stuff, another has normal content.
There's probably a good solution for you if you're willing to spend a little bit of time organizing things.
I don’t mind waiting for my game to load because of cc but I will hit play and sit and wait but then the play screen pops up again to hit play. Could it be because a mod is broken? I originally thought I had to many mods. Any tips?
The simple answer is yes. Broken mods and/or CC will cause that. So, you need to go through what you have and find anything that is broken. And the more you have, the more likelihood that there is more than a few broken things. I also suggest you take a look at what you have and also get rid of things you don't use. Also look for and isolate your default replacements so that you only have one for things like skin tones, eyes, etc. Having more than one of each type will cause them to sort of fight each other and slow your game down. You'd be surprised at how cleaning out your mods and CC will improve the game's loading times and performance.
Hope this helps.
