Families taking an age to load
simpleprincess:
Im big time frustrated now,ive tried everything and none of my familes will load now. even maxis created ones " cries" ive wasted about 4 hours now, all the families do is just load. when i went managed to finally get into one they were frozen????? you could diect them to do something but they were frozen like statues. " begins to wail" I hope I havent killed my game......
Theraven:
don't complain about 5 minutes!!!
my game takes about 20 min from putting in the cd to get into a lot to play WITHOUT CC. with CC (depends on how much) it can take everything from 5 minutes to an hour just to load a family (I've learned to be patient...).
my comp has got little memory, though. so that might be one of the reasons it takes so long. I also have all the EPs and SPs installed.
AxelVal:
I almost have this problem right now as well.
But it's my neighborhoods that won't load.
I let an empty town load for almost half an hour with the same downloads and (hopefully) package-installed houses in the neighborhood but it didn't get past the second loading bar.
I'm going to try removing my newest hacks (which are updates of ones I had before) and load up again.
Edit:
I took out my hacks and my neighborhood loaded! Yay.
__medicinemanx:
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?

Try deleting groups.cache and accessories.cache. Any time you have major changes in CC, these files are likely to become corrupted. When you start the game again, these files will be recreated. While you're there, delete cigen.package also. It's similar to the other two files but used by Bodyshop.
It will take a bit longer to start the game right after deleting the cache files, but once the game is started, entering lots and creating sims in CAS should go faster.
If you have less than 1 mb memory, you should take a look at getting more. Get as much as you can afford and your computer will hold. All the CC is loaded into memory when you start the game. If you don't have enough memory, it starts using the hard drive memory to hold it in virtual memory. Then when something is needed from the virtual memory, it reads it again from the disk. Those disk reads and writes add more time to loading the game, neighborhoods, and lots.
