Re: Six minute lot load time (Ever since Seasons)

Hi, you might want to try monitoring your system as you load the game.

If you press Ctrl, Shift and Esc, you'll bring up the Task Manager. It has a performance tab, so can you switch to that, then start the game. 

If you play in fullscreen you can press Alt & Enter to toggle the game to Windowed, so you can then monitor what aspect of your system is being stressed when you're loading. You can also open the resource monitor to get a more in-depth look at the stresses on your system. 

Can you do this then let us know what's being stressed/what you discover?

Thank you.

    I thought a lot about what may have changed on my PC and I remembered that before some software a professor of mine said we needed for a class bricked my PC and I had to reinstall the OS, I had the issue. I realized it started after I installed Discord, which was reinstalled when I hard reset my PC. I uninstalled Discord and now it loads with no problem.

    Interesting. Thanks for your feedback.

    Weird that the clean boot didn't catch that though. Did you turn on Discord despite clean boot ?

    No. I suspect however that because discord can now be used to open Sims 4 that it was somehow interfering with load times. Even with a clean boot it may have still caused issues. Lot loads now take no more than a minute and I never used Discord on my PC anyway
