What Is Safe to Delete To Make Your Game Much Faster.
You go to your documents, then Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
You can delete the file localthumbcache.package. It gets bigger and bigger fast.
You can delete everything inside the folder cache. EXCEPT THE FILE FileCache.
If you have too many items in your Library, you can put them online, uploading all lots, rooms and households you want to save.
Then you can delete the files inside the Tray folder. But, here's a stern warning: your Library will be gone and when you want those lots, rooms and households back, you'll have to download them from your account. Things downloaded from other simmers will also be gone. The game will be much faster, but at a price. Therefore, I only recommend this last step if you really need a faster loading. I myself only do step one and two.

Mine are never over 5s. But, then again, I have a mid-range gaming rig.
What I can say is that when loading times were getting longer, almost reaching 10s, I did it and they were all up to 5s again.

You are welcome.
If i start a fresh game, they are only 15-20 seconds and then slowly creep up
It has been working for me, but I'm not playing Live Mode that much yet.
However, plenty of simmers state that it helps.
Other tips would be playing with Origin offline and turning off you anti-virus.

Also, if you need a quick link to detailed instructions, please see my sig too - Crinrict's page is there.
My loading times are around 5s. Sometimes it slows down to around 10s... I do steps one and two above and it goes back to normal.
Yeah, my load times are very similar and though the cache hasn't hurt me too much, I do just routinely clean it out as well as other things within Windows just to keep it all peak efficiency.
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
Good advice.
Interesting! I've been only doing the normal save and never using auto save file to start the game.
I'm worried about constant rewriting of the save file vs just saving the new info. But I should look at my files. I do wonder what's going on with the compressing of files
That was the intention. You're welcome.
