20 minutes for Sims3 to start...
illuminati:
I start the Sims 3, I choose city and then it loads for about 20 minutes...
What should I do?
Annweranns:
Mine does too, It is probably loading new cc that wasn't there before? Mine is way faster when I haven't downloaded since the last time.
illuminati:
:/

Same here, only less than twenty minutes. The length seems to be proportional to the size of the save. It takes around twelve minutes for a 110MB town with three world-based vacation properties. Then about six minutes for a large family, 40MB or so in size, and the standard four minutes for every other town I play.
When loading a town, the progress bar gets stuck at the very beginning and stays there hogging CPU for roughly nine minutes. Process Monitor shows the game to call open and then close the JazzData.package, which is when it stalls while using 99% of CPU. After some nine minutes pass, the game starts reading .package files again and loading up RAM, which is the normal or at least the expected behaviour. I also noticed the same pause occurs when loading a vacation land. The game opens and closes UI.package and stalls, doing nothing but extreme computing processes for a while before loading the rest.
Most often lenghty loading times can be attributed to bad custom content .package files, however the behaviour is different in that it would stall while performing disk activity and would show the game executable to be reading this bad .package thousands of times, thus creating the slow load.
Jenna:
Could be a problem with your system specs as well. Having a computer that's at, or beneath, the minimum requirements can cause dramatically longer load times. Since you didn't really give us any details, we can't give you much help.
What are your system specs?
Do you have any EPs?
How much CC are you running?
...you get the idea.
