My game takes for ever to load a town!

Couldn't respond to your PM, it says your inbox is full. However, I've never experienced what you described. Something is obviously wrong. You may have to try EA technical support to try and get this resolved. Best I could do, sorry. Make sure your mods are updated to the version of S3 that you are running. Sometimes that can cause a loop during loading that will never resolve and so, it runs for hours or until you cancel it.

I have plenty of ram

The game needs 1-2 GB fo RAM to run, probably including some more for running the OS, plus any additional background programs. So knowing how much you have would be nice, in addition to other computer specs.

Do you have a graphic card with dedicated memory? If not, and especially if you're playing on a laptop your game will usually be slower.

Not sure about compressing downloads for sims 3 (I've only tried it for sims 2), but putting several files into one big file can make the game load it faster (I've not tried it, and I have no clue how to do it, but according to several people this is one of the best ways).

whenever I take out my CC it runs fast how can I be able to keep it and still have it run fast.

This is a sign of it being the CC that causes your game to move slow. Are you sure everything is updated to your current game version (the newest is 1.55, which is for Island Paradise), including mods/hacks?

If this helps, I think what Raven needs to see is the system info. ie. mine is OS Windows 8, RAM is 8 GB, processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz, 2401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), System type x64-based PC, Graphics board is NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M with onboard RAM   2.00 GB (2,147,287,040 bytes). It is a laptop. The hard drive is irrelevant but mine is sufficient.
 
I agree with Raven, it sounds like there is a mod that is not compatible with the game version that you are running. Check back wherever you got your mods and see if there is an updated version you can download.

Is your game patched to 1.55?

If it is, open your SavedSims folder and delete the file named downloadedsims.index

It is also safe to delete the .tmp files from your DCCache folder.  Those are duplicates of your installed sims3packs that the launcher generates every time it is run.  Do not delete the .dbc files, those files are where your installed sims3pack content lives.
