Sims 4 Long Loading Screens
Since I started playing Sims 4, all of the loading screens have been very long. At least 2-3 minutes each, regardless of what my sims are doing - traveling between lots, changing appearance in the mi...

@endless02 Graphic chip doesn't fulfill the minimum requirements. You have no dedicated memory. Can't say if you have a card as well. Doesn't show in your DxDiag.
@AlexFetsis Looks good
@Intriligator You have a dual graphics card system. Make sure it runs on the card. Also you seem to have beta sound drivers. You might wanna revert to release ones

Clearing the cache files didn't help at all
Could you start a new game for testing purposes to see if it has the same issue.
What can I buy to get the minimum required graphics and dedicated memory?
If it's a laptop then you usually can't be upgraded.
You might wanna look into something new if you have the means.
I don't have a laptop - I have a brand new all-in-one computer. Here's the link to it:
I'm just not getting how I don't have the specs for it when Sims 4 was made to be played on older computers as well as newer ones. What can I do to fix this or add on to my computer? My loading screens are now lasting over 2 minutes and nothing else posted here has worked to fix it ☹️
It's mostly the graphics chip that doesn't have any dedicated memory at all.
CPU fulfills minimum specs but not recommended specs.
It's been awhile since I've posted on this topic, but I wanted to add some information.
I started a new game, and after it had been played for awhile, the same thing started happening -- exceedingly long load screens. However, I have an old gaming desktop that I decided to get running again (it had hard drive failure and since I have a good laptop, I decided to just leave it be). It definitely exceeds the recommended system requirements, and while a few things do run much better on it, using the same saves, it also has very long loading screens.
I don't think it's the issue of the computer. This machine, while older, runs most things much better than my gaming laptop. I think it's an issue with the saves themselves getting bogged down. I hope it's something that can be fixed.
This computer also is using an SSD. The graphics card, a GTX 560 ti, is a better card in all benchmarks by a good margin than the recommended GTX 650 ti. The i7 chip is first generation, but it is a quad core chip. There is no reason at all this machine should have issues with long load times.
I really hope whatever is causing this gets fixed, because I like the game, but I don't think I like it enough to deal with several minute long loading screens to go anywhere.
