Game is loading slow
When I first got the game, it only took like 10 seconds at most to load. But now, it takes five minutes. So I deleted my sims 4 folder and tried it again, and it works as it should. But when I put it...

@puzzlezaddict i tried your idea and apparently its one of options, userdata.lock, gameversion, config, clientDB, Usersetting. But those files are automatically generated whenever I start the game.
@eclecticallyem It shouldn't be any of those files: some are just output (as in, the game writes to them but doesn't read them), and none cause problems under normal circumstances. What happened when you started with a clean folder, created a new save, quit, and reloaded: was loading fast again, or was it just as slow as it's been (or somewhere in between)?
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@eclecticallyem The driver for your graphics chip is almost three years old, and there are a few errors in your dxdiag that are probably related to the driver. You can download a new one from Intel here:

It may help to repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.

- @puzzlezaddict if its my graphics chip that's causing the problem, would lowering the quality of the game graphics help?
