Families taking an age to load
simpleprincess:
Thank you everyone, ill definatly be paying a vist to my local computer store. I have only 512 ram. 1.9 ghz cpu. almost 2 gigs. decent graphics card, I wonder if its also my downloaded dvd players? I recently downloaded veoh amongst one other one. Ok I deleted the caches except the body shop one I dont know where it is. im wondering about deleting all my downloads and starting again. Is it possible to save the downloads that I really want? and get rid of the rest?
EDIT: I deleted all my downloads except for a few plus the insimenator and stuff,its working again. so I think I just had too many downloads, I do have a question and thats if I download this cool barbie house that some very talented person created, even though it says you need ofb, would it hurt my game if i installed it anyway? im hoping they only used a bit of it, I dont want to crash my game or anything. Here is a link to the said house.

It may crash your game, if you don't have the EP to use it with. I've read where the lot will not even load into your game if this is the case. I'd not risk it. I don't know if you can use "Clean Install" to remove those parts that won't work in your game-probably not. I've never tried to do this-only lots with sims that I can separate from the house.
If you have an external drive or a secondary drive you can save your downloads-simply copy them into one of those sources. If you have a CD burner and hardware to use, you can burn them onto a CD and save them that way.

It's probably memory.
My one family used to take like a half hour or more to go up to 4 or 5 loading bars and then just close down with a window that says, "Windows is low on memory. The system may close various applications to get more," or something like that. How many families are slow for you?
my computer does that nearly every time I play sims. it does not close down my game, though. I have to put down the game, unclick the message, and then I can play again (after waiting for the ¤&%&% blue screen/hour glass to go away). sometimes the game actually runs a bit faster after doing it.
I usually delete the groups /accessory files everytime I play.
MaryH:
I have that message pop up every so often-and because I have the game in windowed mode, it doesn't shut it down-I just click the message to fade out. It is not just the extra files that have been created-it is the basic memory your computer has-I have only the bare minimum to actually run the game (and I am getting more, eventually) that slows it down.
As they say, more is better. Eliminating groups cache and accessory cache is some help, but the basic memory has to be larger to have those messages stop.
