Sims 4 Long Loading Screens

Yes, I have tried clearing my tray, it does not work. (It just delets everything in my Library.) 

I even cleared the Scratch and Lotcachedata folders. LOL I've been trying to clear everything.

I'm not a tech genius, but I think it has to do with the save files themselves, because the only thing that works for me is to start a new game. Maybe something is wrong with them?

I have to agree that it must have something to do with the saves themselves.  It's not that it's bad to begin with -- new games for me have about 5-10 seconds on the loading screen; it's that as the save goes on, the loading times increase.  It reminds me of a memory leak, but in that case, a simple restart would fix it, and that is not the case.  

I could see wondering if it were RAM or whatever on a system which does not have a lot of RAM, but I have 12 GB.  Also, googling shows that it actually is a problem with people with higher end systems as well.  It's not a hard drive issue as well, again, I have an mSSD drive. 

Ah well, hopefully it's a bug they can fix, and that they do fix it.  

It doesn't matter how much RAM you have. The game is a 32 bit application and hence (on 64 bit systems) can only use max of 3.7 GB, then it crashes.

You should be below that though.

Are all you guys save games between 2-4 MB in size ?

My most recent one is at 3.4MB.

Apparently, a lot of people have this issue once they've been playing a save for awhile -- it seems to be the ones at 30+ hours that start becoming a problem.  The problem is, of course, at 30+ hours is when the game is the most fun.  But for now, as soon as the sim I have at level 9 of her career levels to 10, I'll just start a new one.  I want to try rotational game play anyway, but hopefully that doesn't make things worse.

Thank you for your time on this.  I just don't think there's a solution right now.  I've done all the suggestions, and the only thing that changed the load times at all was putting Origin off line -- and that was negligible.  The only iffy part of my system is the graphics card, but even that just is a small bit below the recommended system (650m GTX as opposed to 650 GTX) which is well above the minimum requirement.

Edit: Right now I'm hoping enough EA is aware that many people are having this problem and look for a fix for it.

My saves keep growing.

In my earlier post here (3 days ago) I told you may saves were between 6,109 KB and 6,300KB. Today they are between 7,112 and 7,352KB.

They will grow. I think that is still ok.

There is another thread around where a save went up to 60'000 KB within minutes. Now THAT is not normal.

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 ☹️

Cause new not necessarily means that you meet the specs. There are many newer but cheap computer that don't. Those are not made for gaming but for everyday use.

The CPU that computer has is not the strongest and I don't know if computers like the one you have are upgradable or not.

What part of the specs are not met? I was told this computer would meet them and I don't understand how to read specs myself.

It's mostly the graphics chip that doesn't have any dedicated memory at all.

CPU fulfills minimum specs but not recommended specs.
