Yep... another Sims 2 issue with me... Surprising? I think not, lol.

Well, this time around, my Sims 2 game won't load at all. I insert the disc, click on the Sims 2 shortcut thing, and then it comes and I press "play". After that, nothing happens. It acts like it's going to load, like the Sims 2 screen will just pop up at anytime, but it doesn't. Any ideas of what might be wrong? I already organized my download folder with Delphy's awesome wizard. Any ideas what might be wrong? All answers are appreciated!

have you tried deleting accessory.cache & groups.cache & try running it again?

You are an angel. o.o

does that mean it worked?

Yes! It took forever to load, but it worked. x]

Do you know how I could stop some of the lag? Or is it just the custom content?

With my game, it lags due to a hella lot of CC. So, my guess is it's the CC with yours, too.

Yeah, I don't think that there's a way to get around that... oh well...
Have you ever gotten the problem with sims not being able to use the phone? It's making me very, very irritated. lol

that is probably CC that is not compatible; have you tried taking out all phone, computer & newspaper mods for instance?

To help loading times you might try the Compressorizer found at moreawesomethanyou. I have everything in my downloads folder compressed with no problems, and I compress every download before I put it in my game. I haven't compressed anything other than my downloads folder although some people have, I don't know how safe any other compressing would be. Check out maty for details. I also got a new faster PC and that makes a whole lot of difference also, but with my old PC it did help.

Wow, you are right! My laptop is so much faster now that I've compressed the files. But for my game, the loading screen still takes about ten minutes or so to completely load all the way. Thank you though!
