Streamlining load times - is this possible?

You know how simPE lets us boot TS2 from within the simPE app.
Would it be possible for a program to somehow let us choose a neighbourhood, then a residential lot from before the game has even been launched, therefore bypassing the need to go through all three loading screens and choosing after each one?
Some of us have some extreme loading times (mine is about 11 minutes from desktop to lot) and if this could be managed then we would see less waiting around.
Possible?
This is anything but extreme... Back in the day, I used to play it with loading times of half an hour - to the main menu.

These long loading times interest me, I have what I would call a fairly ancient rig:-
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp.080413-2111)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.1GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
Page File: 348MB used, 2180MB available
It takes me a tad over 4 mins to get to a lot from desktop with 1.2GB in downloads folder (predominantly hair, skins/mesh,clothes, characters, zilch furniture/lots). Ive read people having extreme load times of 30-40mins+. Does some types of CC make for longer loadtimes than others?
30-40 min load times..you'd have to be very keen on the game to keep playing under those conditions!
I remember back in the day, loading games on my Commordore 64 with an external tape drive and load times were quicker than that, haha!

My loading time is 10 minutes, I wouldn't complain about that after having 40 minute load times. My ex played a completely vanilla game because he liked the almost instant loading time. Maybe it's a male thing.
Killzone:
Probably is a male thing. We are not likely to have gigabytes of asthetically pleasing curtains cos we are more interested in MOAR fights and who gets a fuckbuddy on the side when they are engaged, haha.

Augh! *10* minute load times? You are must be joking! If I had 10 minute load times, I'd spend more time loading than getting any productive WORK done, and you wouldn't have SHINY THINGS. I boot from click to main screen in 60 seconds, tops, with a lot opened in 90 seconds. Otherwise I start deleting things!
