Loading taking ages.

Since a few days ago (precisely 07/17) the game has taken a very, very long time to load. It starts when you open the game. Just to get to the screen where it asks you to press any button to start, it takes about 3-4 minutes. After that the game starts loading again, that simple bar with the green diamond filling it up little by little, but this "little" is taking another 3 minutes, sometimes even 5, something that is really discouraging me from playing one of the games I love the most, after all, no one wants to wait so long just to get into the game. 

THINGS I DID TO TRY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM:

  • I reinstalled the game. Since the first time this problem occurred it took so long that I thought I would never get past the The Sims 4 logo screen.
  • I'm from console (Xbox) and I don't have any mods or anything like that installed.
  • I also don't have the fairy pack either. I didn't buy it precisely because of the amount of bugs it comes with.

    Hi there, is it a save you have been playing a while?  It's just that I've been having this same problem when I've been on the same save for a while, I tried everything to make it run better through help online but eventually used chatgpt and worked through more solutions and it seems to me that one of the big problems is loads of homeless sims and also way too many ghosts.  Since I had a big clean up of them the game is running a LOT better and quicker loading.  I'm on pc so I can use a mod to keep the ghost population under control from now on but I'm not sure how you could do that on console easily sorry.  But you could try deleting a lot of the homeless sims through manage worlds too see if that helps somewhat?

    I've been playing in the save in question for one or two days irl, but I haven't had an extremely long advance within the game itself. Anyway, two days after my bug report the loading magically returned to normal, to be honest it's even faster than normal, which makes me believe it was some problem of the game itself since I didn't changed or did anything to try to solve it by myself.  In the end I'm just happy that, one way or another, it was solved c:
