Loading time does not depend on the number of mods. Removing a significant part of them did not speed up the download. The Sims 4 is simply not responding while loading, and I'm not the only one experiencing this problem based on other posts. When the game does start, I am greeted by a banner, closing which Sims 4 again does not respond for some time, although in the upper right corner you can see that the mods have loaded successfully

The game is eating your Memory like it's a stack of pancakes. Go upgrade your RAM then you'll see load time improvements. And please do not return comment stating you have the top of the line DDR5 from whatever manufacturer because your Task Manager shot shows that you clearly do not.  Also that pop-up was known to cause the game to freeze up after clicking the X but it would unfreeze after a few seconds.

So i reinstalled the game, checked that all dlc were working, put in the mods folder only 0.2 and 0.3 torrent + all required mods, still got lots of missing items in the Awe studio lot, lauren tan home, and i also noticed a couple of missing clothes when i checked some sims.

Does anybody else has this problem or it's just me and lolipopex?

 

I'll play the save regardless because i really like it but i still hope there is some solution to this problem.

Apologies if this sounds like I'm giving a YouTube Review in advance. What to say about the .03 world save? To date I've only had ONE CC or mod that caused issue (sorry for the late night screed @GhostJ27F) and that was w/ my immersion ,one removal of a pesky reskin and problem solved. Otherwise, the world save has been fine for me so far. I do have a question/criticism about a particular story choice for one of the characters but, that can be answered in DMs and isn't something I could not change to taste in my own game if the answer doesn't satisfy. Don't get me wrong .03 like it's predecessors, is a lot of a lot and is still nothing short of ambitious. So, your mileage may vary on if you want to take it on. But, the quality and attention to detail still shines and seems to improve despite each challenge both EA updates and even the Modding community gives @TriggerBlade and their team.

 

There's been a bit of grief lately about load times but, I've had all the bells and whistles save the tweaks and fluff and although I had to turn the Mods Installed Auto Pop Up off do to EA's Banners causing freezes as it attempts to read those mods being loaded. That appears to be a known issue on EAs part that's been going on since they announced their Merch Shop. I've had no issue since making that setting change. Large Mods folders will tank load times regardless mind.

 

So, overall even if your PC rig is just a few root vegetables above a potato like mine is. I highly recommend at least giving it a try. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐??

On my desktop pc (ryzen 7 5800x3d, 32gb ddr4 3600, 6900xt) loading times are definetly longer when i have a lot of mods. But even with mods it takes only a couple of minutes anyway and doesn't bother me much.

 

On my laptop with an old i5, integrated graphics and 8gb of ram, vanilla runs fine but if i try to load this save + all the mods loading times becomes ridicolous, not just loading the game but also loading lots/households. I gave up trying to play the sims on my laptop because i just can't play without mods.

My language is Spanish, but I think the image makes clear that point that is discussed and it is correct the more MODS the longer it takes to load the same game here I leave a couple of screenshots of my game and the weight of my folder.

(CPU: Ryzen 5 3600XT, GPU: Nvidia GeForce 2060 12GB, RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz(16x2), SSD M.2 of 520GB)

Depending on the components or the type of PC you have is how the game will work with more or less Mods.

Okay I'm gonna look into this. I don't add things to my folder until @GhostJ27F takes a look at it to ensure this kind of thing isn't an issue.

This is just an inevitability due to us having like 600+ sims. Sometimes one item or two goes missing in the transfer process.

Though if it's an item tied to a pack then there's nothing I can do other than tell you to fix it yourself or buy the pack. (This isn't directed specifically to you, it's a statement for everyone)

Side note, did the contest announcement get drowned out? It's on the front page.

[Talimancer]

I wish i had a better computer because the game takes forever to load with all the mods lol.

!Announcement!

I'm holding a screenshot contest. Show me what your sims get up to and the top five will get added to the image gallery and you'll have your name in the credits on the main page.

Categories being:

Sexy:

Wholesome:

Funny:

Romantic:

 

Crime:

 

Sexy is pretty self evident. However, it doesn't mean sexual. A character or two posed in a provocative way has a higher chance of winning than a screenshot of say... one of the summertime saga sims getting gangbanged. 

Wholesome should also be pretty obvious. Sims who are friends, lovers are possible entry, doing something fun together.

Humor is subjective so for funny, just something silly. Characters being goobers and messing around. Glitched out screen captures, while humorous, won't count since the winning screenshot will be posted in the gallery.

Romantic is also subjective but the only stipulation is nothing overtly sexual. Keep that for the sexy category. 

Crime is a category since we just added New Crest Thugs in full. Though you can set up a scene where the Yakuza, 15th Street or Mafia are featured.

 

Requirements:

 

Your screenshot must be obvious in that you're using the save. It can involve a sim from the save or be in a lot that shows it is in the save.

 

Using your self inserts or original character is fine. However they must be interacting with a sim native to the save. Using one of the Maxis reimaginings is acceptable.

 

You are permitted to submit one screenshot per category. 

 

Comics or multiple screenshots showing a "story" don't count. Rely on one frame to tell your narrative.

 

If the screenshot is high enough quality, you may even be invited to have your OC be included in the save. With the understanding that they can't take up realestate that Mrrakkon may have need of and that they can't be put in a romantic relationship with an existing sim. Romantic interest is fine but we're not gonna break up a marriage. 

 

Another thing is that your OC must rely on custom content native to the save.

 

There is no due date. Contest ends when I feel there are enough submissions or when 0.4 comes out.

 

!That's all I have to say. Have fun people!

 

It's the first time I post a screenshot so... it's also the first time I try to use poses, with wicked whims positioning feature it is way less scary then back when I tried with Andrew Pose editor.. but I'm still very rough.. anyway:

Wholesome: 3 in the morning
 

Spoiler

 

 

Crime: I don't know if this can be considered in the category, but looks like Amaru messed up one too many times.. was it supposed to be a shady deal between rival record labels?  Cash is surely pissed off, and what about the creepy Diamond Heights receptionist looming in the back?

Not sure if this has been addressed, but your "Entertainer Career Overhaul" link under your Optional Mods list goes to a dead page.

 

EDIT: Looks the the Hobby Mod and Personality Mod links also aren't working.

That's Hannelore Bellington (I think that's the right last name) and Malcolm Landgraab. Malcolm lives in Del Sol Valley and I think Hannelore is homeless.

is correct Hannelore has no home, to find her just go to the gym that is in Del Sol Valley, there you can find her as she usually frequents it.

oh well in my case that's where I always find her.

For the Royal Casino mod, is there a specific or recommended Casino lot that uses this mod? I see plenty of really beautiful Royal Casinos lots in Sims 4 Gallery, but most of them use base games items edited to look like slot machines or roulette tables.

Oh well it should still be there I guess.

@TriggerBlade I'm curious to know your perspective with the new Rental expansion pack.
since it opens the possibility of creating complexes in areas where families used to conflict, right?
Resulting in many Sims having a home in the "world" right?

 

 

PD. any advice on how to take good pictures, every time I want to take a picture to share they always come out wrong XD

[ChipyChops]

The Bar in Oasis Springs needs some serious love, poor thing is unusable.

Oh I'm hyped for it. I wanna see how interactive it is because we have made "apartments" but not all of the sims we've thrown in there may be the most desirable to play. I would try to make them a lot taller to include as many as possible. Mostly for the sims that people are more like to bang than play. 

 

Depending on how badly EA fucks it up, it may become a genuine requirement for the save.

 

As for advice for pictures? I'm not the person to ask.

I'm aware. We didn't catch it until long after I posted the save.

 

It'll be fixed in the next update.
