This is a problem that has started just recently, but it seems to be escalating. At first it just happened at community lots, and that is more understandable, but now it has started to happen at residential lots as well. Taking pictures without free camera mode is kind of bleh, and as it takes for ever (well, over 20 minutes at least) to load the game, I now am very reluctant to take pictures. And how fun is that.
I am thinking that more RAM might solve the problem. I have 4 GB as it is, but I tend to have other programs open at the same time as the game, as well as being out on the internet. I've probably pushed my poor computer a bit more than I should have.
So - more RAM - does that seem like a probable solution, or does anyone have another suggestion? All kinds of input would be much appreciated.
Edit:
meetme2theriver told me about 2GB being the limit for the game, and gave me this link, a tip by Liv Lukas.
