20 minutes for Sims3 to start...
inrchsimmer:
As for specifications and game set-up, it's a full TS3, World Adventures, Hi-End Loft and Ambitions game in a notebook with Core Duo T7500 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, NVidia 8600M GT (512MB), WinXP Pro 32bit. I know I should install the 64bit version of the operative system but I still fear equipment/driver incompatibilities. Regarding custom content, the game is loaded with Awesomemod and Nraas Master Controller, ten extra body sliders, two vehicles, a pair of window collections from MTS and realistic skins. The Mods folder totals 59 objects including the mods, at around 120MB in size.
The delays were incremental as the town grew older and the family lot larger/more cluttered, which is why I didn't think much of it, but then again I haven't found more people experiencing the same issue except when it's an obvious mod/package problem, so when finally reading about someone having something similar I decided to put this forth.

I have NO IDEA what the problem is. Im using Windows 7. Sims3pack files works fine...but when I put a .package file in Documents>Electronic Arts>Mods>Package it runs so goddamn slow....I have the second latest version of Sims3 and I have Ambitions and World Adventures...I really really want to use mods though...its just not the same without them.
inrchsimmer:
Illuminati, you've solved your problem already. If removing the .package file makes the game run normal, then it's that .package that's causing an incompatibility. Lucky you, 'cause I still can't find out if my game is uniquely doomed or if it's normal for this to happen in low-end equipment.
illuminati:
No thats not the problem. The problem is that I can't have any .package files at all!
EKozski:
Have you tried deleting the cache files?
I only have up to World Adventures and my game loads up in a few minutes. I have some Custom Content. About 500MB worth. No Mods or Sliders. Just Sims 3 packs and package files.
Did you double check to see if your Resource.cong file is right? I know when a ne EP/SP comes out, it changes.
