I have a problem that I have had for a long time. I have sims 4. Play with no mods or cc. When my sims are at a lot then I want them to travel to another, it takes a long time. It used to be a short ...

Hi thank you for the reply.
my current save file size is 9,094KB and the only one I have at the moment. I started this save when I got cottage living. the slow loading times have been slow on previous old saves that I no longer use and have deleted.
@Jadebabez86 At least you don't have the current empty households/save bloat issue, which is good.
The very long loading times may be due at least in part to your computer having only 4 GB RAM installed. While that's enough for Windows and Sims 4, if your computer is running anything else, even in the background, that could cause problems. As a test, please try playing in a clean boot:

This will shut down a number of background services that might collectively be using more RAM than your computer has to spare. When you reboot, open the Task Manager and go through the background processes list shutting down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example your Razer software. If you make a mistake and kill a critical process, it may restart itself, but otherwise, just reboot your computer.
Please let me know whether this makes any difference, whether or not the loading times are back to normal.
I tried the clean boot and gameplay was faster but the loading travelling screen is still about 10mins and freezes while loading
@Jadebabez86 Please try a clean boot combined with taking your computer offline. I'd like to know whether the internet connection makes a difference. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before pressing Play.
If the loading times are still long, please let me know how your system is managing the page file. Here's how to view it:

Instead of changing anything though, please post a screenshot of what you see under Virtual Memory (the last image in the article). Hit Windows key-shift-S and drag your cursor over that window to capture it, then click the notification in the lower right corner of your screen to open the image.
thank you so much for your help.
I followed your instructions and the loading time is still 10 mins. I have attached the screenshot for you
