Sims 4 too long to save and loading screens are long

Hi.

My sims 4 game started acting weird recently. It's been fine up to this point and I don't want to lose my saves because I'm on my 6th or 7th generation of my sim family.

The loading screens are very long, probably around 10 minutes! Also, my saves take a long time. Probably 10 minutes as well. It lags when my sims change emotion as well.

My laptop is pretty old, but I haven't had an issue until now.

I play with some mods, not many, and no CC.

I'm not sure what to do because I'm not very tech savvy.

Someone help me please!

    The main issue seems to be your RAM. Not a whole lot.

    Also try updating your graphics drivers. Yours are from 2013.

    Go to the Nvidia page and have it detect your card.

  • I always have this problem but i have alot of cc and a few mods (over 1000, ahha im an addict)  repair your game just in case, everything usually goes back to normal when i do that, and if it doesnt work, if you have your graphics on ultra that sometimes makes it lag (mines always on ultra so) and if that doesnt work take all your mods out, open up the game and then go into your family, exit without saving then put your mods back in and go into your last save and see if that helps if it doesnt im sorry 🙂

  • I reset my sims 4 folder, and I deleted stuff out of my sims inventories. They were gardeners and collectors so I think they just had too many things! It works fine now! 

    I attached my DxDiag just in case it happens again. My computer is pretty old and I had a lot of issues with the sims 3.
