    Actually, I haven't clocked it, but I do know it's taking longer than before. But then again, I've added a few more mods, too. I'm hoping Santa will bring me the brand new gaming rig that's been promised for Christmas. Hey, I can dream, can't I? LOL

    Im currently on PS5. Loading screen takes literally around 3-5 seconds. It’s like freaking moment. No toilet breaks anymore that I enjoyed during my PS4 era lol.

    Edit: I have all the packs minus two expansion packs.

    Loading takes a while, but my save is 8 years old counting 500+ sims and many generations + tons of cc, so I'm not complaining. It probably doesn't help that I normally keep 5-10 other programs running on the computer while firing up my game, lol. I'm never sitting watching the loading screen though, so I never really counted the minutes.

    It's over 2 minutes.

    Blame my 1.5 million dollar home and my 50 Sim household.

    30 seconds-1 minute
    My load time actually varies between 15 seconds up to a minute. I run the game on ultra, 100+ households, and 30GB+ of cc and mods. My sims and lots are cc heavy, though mostly Maxis Match. Alpha cc adds another 20-30 seconds on to load times, which I hadn't noticed until I made the switch. The biggest variable is how long my computer has been on without a restart. On the weekends it will usually run for a couple of days without shutting down or restarting. During the week I shut it down when I leave for work. When it's had a restart it loads fast, 15-20 seconds. After two or three days of heavy use and no restarts, it can be up to a minute.

    On average, and being generous, 10-30 seconds is about right. Anything more than that--time to start ditching mods.

    The computer I have (Lenovo Creator 5i) has a 10th gen Intel i5, 12GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX1660 SUPER graphics card with 6GB of VRAM. Best computer I could afford without building something or going with another refurb with literally the cheapest components the rebuilder could buy that failed within a year.


    The computer can take up to 64GB of RAM, which is a lot. Experts say to go with the max, but I'm thinking 32 is probably more than adequate, and more affordable. Heck, I'd say 16 would be a major improvement alone. The problem I have is that this is a "compact" case and everything's shoved in, and hard to get at.

    I'm not sure, I've never timed it. It seems to be fairly fast though with my three year old rotational save.

    Just wondering what people's experience is. I notice some people find loading screens very intrusive and others don't care at all.

    This is about the loading screen to travel to another lot or enter a household from Manage Worlds, not the loading screen to boot up the game.

    Feel free to post details about your computer, whether you use mods or cc, whether you have different results on a long-running save vs a new save.

    It used to take 10 minutes until I got a better computer.

    I don't have a lot of custom content in my game. What I do have is Maxis Match clothing and hairstyles for male Sims. I do have quite a few mods though that deal with things Maxis hasn't fixed.

    I use a lot of mods, so sometimes the loading screen will take a bit longer than it should. But it's definitely quicker than TS3 ever loaded. lol

    I'm not 100% sure because I never have timed the loading screen but considering that my mods/cc folder is 14.9 Gb is probably at least over 2 minutes.
