Hi everyone,

I'm posting here hoping somebody will be able to help me...

Yesterday, I bought Showtime EP and Master Suite SP. I installed them both and updated my base game to version 1.34. I must add I have A LOT of custom content (around 3.5 go). I tried to merge them into 25 packages but it doesn't change anything.
My problem is, the Sims launch fine. It's when I want to load a game, that little bar doesn't budge. It stays empty! My game used to be pretty fast, but now, I decided to let it go to see how long it would take to actually load....and 45 minutes later, my bar had maybe 1/6 loaded. This is so irritating, I don't know what to do anymore. I've been on this problem since Saturday, I deleted cache files, I merged packages to make sure it would help. I updated my mods (the only mod I use is MasterController). All of my CC comes from the official store! So I don't understand it at all. I ran Delphy's Sims3 Dashboard tool and it found some corrupted/conflicted files that I deleted. Still doesn't change anything... I tried to remove EVERY download, and it still doesn't work...


Here are my computer specs:

Available OS Memory: 6144MB RAM

Display Memory: 3317 MB

Shared Memory: 2815 MB
Current Mode: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)

I'm pretty sure my computer well exceeds the minimum requirements, since I work in the IT field..but, I'm totally lost...Any help would be appreciated. It worked fine before I installed Showtime and Master Suite...

Thank you very much xxxx :giggler:

Does it work if you refresh your user folders?
