Ever since I've downloaded custom content I've had reason to believe that it's been making my game lag or take forever to load. The places it takes the longest to are:
THE loading screen before it asks you which neighborhood you want to play.
The other two are when I'm in CAS and I want to select eyes. it takes about 5 minutes to load the actual CAS and another 5 minutes to go back to the neighborhood screen and to the house.
From time to time it takes forever for it to do the simplest of tasks like walking or teleporting, becoming a plantsim, werewolf, dying:blob6:, coming back to life (lol)
Is there anyway at all of making my Sims 2 go faster without screwing around with the graphics? Whew, that sounds impossible.
You probably have a few objects that are insane in poly count. I had a bed that was almost 40000F not saying whom it was from(the game ran fine with them in it after it loaded) and my game was taking about 8/10 minutes to load with 4 gigs of of CC and 8 gigs of ram. My first clue was when I went into the folders and arranged them by size I had a bed that was over 15 megs. A fountain that was about 10 megs. I looked at them in SimPe and was like oh my gosh! Opened my game and deleted them from my lot, then I deleted just those two things from my downloads and my game went from 8/10 minutes loading time back down to about 4/5 minutes. Seriously, just those two things and all their recolors.
