I've heard some players mention in the past that cleaning out your sims inventory will make the game operate faster with less loading screen time. Does anyone know if this is true. If you found this to be true or noticed any other changes after doing this, feel free to share your experience here.

@PinkSugar81 thank you for replying
If they're already exist in the world they wont get purged.
Tray folder, relationships between sims, save file size affects load times as well. If you have a save that you have played for a long time you are going to get longer loading times but I think Maxis have done a pretty good job with improving it over the years.
In PC, we hit esc button to bring up pause menu to fix the lag in build/buy.
I didn't notice my sims' personal inventories slowing things down. I think the game doesn't even load the inventories of sims other than my current household anyway.
But my legacy family has many collectables stored in different crates (the ones that came with Eco) and their lot lags badly. Since this is my only laggy lot I assume the crates' inventories are to blame.
I had one household which had a sim which had taken loads of photos, he had over 100 photos in his inventory and I when I loaded that household to play it I could notice that the game loaded slower. This was a couple of years ago though and I think they have improved it somewhat.
One good habit to develop in game is to regularly inspect Sim's inventory to see what has shown up in there. Sims accumulate a lot of random stuff, and it doesn't hurt to clean it out. Most things in inventory can be sold, and that helps with household income.
Household inventory, located in Build/Buy Mode, is another place that things accumulate, and some of those items can fetch a pretty penny if you sell them.
If you have Eco Lifestyle, recycling items in your inventory is a great way to get resources for fabrication.
All of these things are ways to improve game performance and increase household income at the same time.

When I am not using the gallery I go to options and disable online content. Taking the game offline creates noticeable difference for me.
Also, before I play I do a clean boot so the only things running at startup are necessary windows processes and my antivirus. Activating windows game mode is a must for me.
What is this and how can I do it?
Ah okay. I've tried that before. It made my graphics not look as clear and I'm a snob about graphics.
Thank you so much.
