I had to turn off all my CC - the games started up fine but then took over an hour & a half to load any of my sims families that I had been playing. What am I saying - it wouldn't load any of my families - computer just kept running & running till I gave up. I was going to remove everything from my download file & just add back Insim - do you think that's an idea?
When you load your game and you come to the initial screen where your CC is listed and the option to turn it on or off is listed are there any yellow triangles listed next to your CC??
I had several and after removing them (9 in all) My families now load. Before I tried to load them and it ran ALL NIGHT and still did NOT load. Below is what I removed. It would be interesting to see which ones you have that are the same if you do. Maybe we can find out the culprit.
