Takes forever to load household

Am I the only one having an increase when loading a household now after the latest update/upates?
Anyone know how to fix it? Cause it seems to be getting worse each day I play. Even old saves have this problem so it's not the savefile.
I clean the cache everyday and removing the mod folder does nothing. ☹️
Thoughts?

     I'm having this problem after installed the latest kit yesterday.  

  • @SisterGloomy and @rlc77  Just for comparison, please try loading a new save in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet, just see how long it takes to load a new save.  Be sure to save your progress, quit, restart your computer, and try again once or twice just to be thorough.

    Let me know how long the load times are, and we'll go from there.

    @puzzlezaddictI mean.. Ofc a new clean save with no mods etc is gonna go fast.
    Problem still is. A save that I've had for years started to load really really slow when it worked fine under the 1.72 update.
    I even removed the folder under documents and slowly added my saves, tray and mods back. Still the same.
    Save file also went from steady 20 mb per save to 60 mb. Only difference in save is 2 more sims.

    @SisterGloomy  I understand that you want to preserve your existing save.  But there are reasons for slow loading that have nothing to do with a save, for example system issues or something else taking up the computer's resources.  That's why I asked you to test a new save in a clean folder: to distinguish between issues with that particular save and everything else.

    When you load your existing save in a clean Sims 4 folder, with zero other content (mods, cc, whatever), does it still load slowly?  You can make a copy of your save to experiment on, so the original isn't affected by the absence of mods and cc.  Please also let me know how large the save file is.
