Sims 4 taking forever to load recently?

Hello, I've been having the same problem. The only place I notice where the loading times have been long is when I've started up the game.

I followed the advice from you (puzzlezaddict) and even though it created a clean save, it still loaded up slowly. 

In game the loading speeds have been fine. 

Below is my dxdiag information for my machine. 

Thanks 

James
