Confirmed - I have a ton of CC, and game-edit mode was reduced from a 10-minute load time to about 60 seconds after deleting the 'DDCache' folder.
Thanks to Amoebius for this amazing (and incredibly time-saving) discovery.
THANK YOU AMOEBIUS.
how did you find that one out?
my edit in game loaded in 45 seconds if that!
Your welcome
Someone on the german sims3 forum found that one out if i rememeber correctly it was Primili, i though it's a good idea to share this sollution with as much people as possible because its really helpfull.
THANKS SO MUCH READ THE SOLUTION ON THE FIRT AND THIS BEING IN ALL CAPS ISN'T AN ACCIDENT I am JUST SO HAPPY!
Lol your funny - and welcome
by the way if you really like to say thanks - just recommend my lot's and storys (just if you like them too) that would be the greates gift you could do me cause i LOOOOOOOVVVVVVE recommendations *lol*
Amoebius- Oh THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! The "Edit In Game" use to take 1 hour and 15 minutes (no exageration) to load. Now that I've deleted the DCCache file it loads in about 30 sec. OH you are wonderful! Thanks soooo much for sharing Primili's fix here.
This is a great solution to the loading problem, with minimal complications afterwards.
Before deleting the folder mentioned, my load time from CAW was about 20 minutes.
My PC specs are: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU 3.0Ghz Memory: 4.00 GB Vid Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Though it isn't top of the line, load time, IMO, should not have been 20 minutes.
At least that is what I thought before testing a little. After deleting the folder mentioned, load time dropped to 30 sec's max.
What I noticed afterwards, however, is that loading my game back up (NOT from CAW) Riverview, and all other items that I had downloaded from the store were gone. I reinstalled everything (it was all still listed in my launcher as downloaded, just not installed). Load time in CAW is back up to 20 minutes.
I am assuming the load time has to do with the content from the store and possibly other cc. If that is the case, then the 20 minutes, I suppose, is understandable for now. I feel in time, load time will be addressed as they add to, or patch the CAW.
Help I deleted the DCC cache folder (or whatever it's called xD) and it goes to the first loading screen with the WA logo when i click edit in game. No music comes on and it freezes just above the 'o' in electronic arts and won't move. I've left it there for 50 minutes and it hasn't moved . Helppppp
p.s My computer is more than capable of running the sims 3 :P
I just wanna ask...If I delete my DCCache folder I don't wanna lose all of my store items even though I've noticed in game that the little pictures in the catalog take way more time to load the ones from the store than the base game and WA objects. So has anyone else experienced these problems just before I do anything? Thanks for the feedback
DCCache is where the game installs store items and any other sims3packs installed using the launcher. Deleting it is not a good idea, unless you want to lose all of your store content. Trying moving the folder to the desktop when you want to use edit-in-game mode, and replacing it when you're ready to play the game.
My neighborhood is called Palmera Island and its awesome, like over 100 lots and when I finally finished wit the lot positioning. I go in the Edit in game tool and guess wat it starts in like 1 minute but it starts loading tha world and it crashes when it starts to load.
HELP!!!

Question:
I backed up my DCCache folder to my desktop to use Edit in Game. But question is, say I make all my lots in the actual game and bin them all and then take out my DCCache folder and place my lots that may have store content in them will they still work say when I finish the world and am ready to export it to test? Will the custom content show up on my lots after I move my DCCache back into my game? Cause I don't want to take the time to build with cc if they wont work when I plot them and then re-export it?
