This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default The Endless Torture of My Game And Me Saga Continues: The game hangs loading Create-A-Sim
Title says it all. One issue resolved (sort of), another appears. Basically, the game gets stuck loading up CAS. It doesn't crash or even give me a "not responding" message. I have to close it, and it doesn't completely shut down, according to task manager. Any ideas?

Was it you who had around 30-ish GB of CC?

If this is with all of your CC in, and if around half of that is CAS content, CAS can take 20-30 minutes or more loading (speaking from experience). As long as you don't get a crash message, it's probably still loading.

If it "never" opens (after about an hour or so, or if you do get a crash message), It is possible you have some bad files in there, though. Then you'll have the "fun" task of doing a 50/50 to find the culprit, or cut back on your CAS amount.

Make sure you delete the cache files before you reboot your game.

I *had* 30 GB of CC, but I am slowly moving things back. It’s a good thing I don’t have the whole load back, so I can get to looking. My cache files are constantly deleted by me, so no worries there.

My concern is even though I have less CC than before, the game loads just as slowly.

I’ll let you know what happens with the CAS testing, and then we’ll have have to figure out (hopefully) why it’s slower.

Thanks for the quick reply.
