Sims 4 taking forever to load? This fixed mine (mods + settings)
I was dealing with the 10+ minute loading screen (plumbob just spinning forever 😩) and finally got it down to like 1–2 minutes.
What actually worked for me:
• Removed broken/outdated CC (this was HUGE)
• Merged smaller CC files (reduced load strain)
• Turned off auto-save to OneDrive (this was messing with my files)
• Lowered a couple background settings (not graphics, just background stuff)
• Cleared cache files (localthumbcache.package)
Also realized having thousands of individual CC files slows things down way more than I thought.
Game runs smooth now even with a ton of content.
If anyone else is dealing with this I can drop more detailed steps—I’ve been messing with this for a while now.
I also put together a little Discord where I’m organizing mods + fixes + build ideas if anyone wants to share setups or get help.
