    That is too low for a save file and would indicate that something has corrupted somewhere. I downloaded the sim (thanks!) into a clean Sims 4 folder and placed them in Oasis Springs no problem. The save I created with them is 7.5MB.

    I think that your user data, the contents of the Sims 4 folder, is corrupted. It may be the traits that have done it. Rename the Sims 4 folder and relaunch the game, start a new save then download that sim from the gallery and place them. How is it?

All my saves are between 1.6 MB to 2.1 MB. Is that concerning?

As for the CC, it wasn't clothes, I downloaded a bunch of traits (100 traits by chingyu) and aspirations (I think it's by NC4T) so when I first added him to my library he only had modded traits and aspirations. But even after removing all the mods, when I re-uploaded him to my library, the blue wrench remained. I shared my sim to the gallery, the household's name is Standard Model, sim's name is French Fontana.

I don't really use any CC clothes or make-up. I still haven't gotten around to making sense of them.

    So, I did as you mentioned, and a new Sims 4 folder appeared. I added my sim to a new save and created a new save without him. The save without him worked completely fine, no lagging issues. The save with him, on the other hand, had the same issues with lagging and loading. Nothing different. :/ 

    This same test I did before (idk if you read earlier interactions with user puzzlez addict).

    For now, I think I'm ready to move on from this save and just play a new one. RIP to my sim, he was great at fishing and stealing wives. 

    Thank you for your efforts!! I really appreciate it. I also feel a bit more confident now when it comes to troubleshooting with this game. I am a relatively new player (started a few months ago) so small insights from experienced players go a long way for me.

    Aww ☹️ Did you add the same sim you uploaded to the gallery I tested or the one in your Library?

    @Bluebellflora I added the same one that I uploaded. (Sorry for the long wait for a reply, I haven't checked this website since the last time I posted :/ )

    Sorry I probably wasn't clear. Rather than the one you uploaded, can you download the one from the gallery and try it in-game? That is the one that worked for me so would be good if you could test it to. In a completely new clean Sims 4 folder.
