Re: My Sims 3 Game takes forever to load (Mac)

I had the exact same thing and I was told to get rid of mods and custom content and everything. also to reload everything in order of when they came out... I did and I still had the problem for a long time... so idk what to tell you other than good luck!

iv since had new computers and its still taking a really long time but less...

EA seems to have issues with these things all of the time.... I'm hoping someday they pay attention to their consumers and fix that problem because they make great games and have great ideas the execution just needs some help.

why make expansions and things if you cant run them all at the same time?

Please can you provide more information about your Macs. Instructions on how to do so here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162

Without any CC and some Mods your game will load quicker. There's no way round that. CC and Mods are 3rd party content that you are choosing to add to your game. If they negatively affect the game then it's down to you to weed out the items causing the issue. If you have a load of CC then your save files are probably pretty big which means slower loading times. It also depends on how powerful your Macs are.

When you move out your entire Sims 3 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts how quickly does it load?
