Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it

Is anyone else finding that saving the game takes about 5-10 actual minutes?
I have this problem as well. It started roughly two weeks ago, around week 90 in a town where I was doing lots of house hopping with no aging or storymode, at least to the best of awesomemodZ ability at the time. Now, at 187 weeks or so, saving takes 8-12 minutes, as does switching to the main menu or even exiting the game. Very frustrating. I was at the point of saving, then ending the process rather than quit through the game. This caused problems so I deleted the cache files at each start-up. Now that awesomemodZ is so elaborate and deeply woven into the game, simply deleting the cache files won't do the trick and CTDs are all I get until I remove awesomemodZ, start-up, quit, reinstall awesomemodZ. This is not an issue with fresher testing games, everything is back to normal with those.
Apparently that particular town and all its saves are borked, or perhaps this is an issue when the town reaches a certain number of weeks? What I'd also like to know is if there are any tools in the works that will go through and fix whatever is wrong within the save file itself? I sure as heck can't fix it manually.
Update for anyone experiencing this problem, or otherwise might actually give a shit:
The game update helps with the save--return to main menu--game exit times, cutting the time in half, plus, the 50/50 chance of getting an error 12 on save is gone, as this hasn't happened in six saves thus far. Before, the ratio was consistent; one good save, one bad and getting worse. However the other problem, that wasn't mentioned in efforts to keep short, has been made worse. My system has no 12 nor 1AM issues, but with these borked saves, there exists a constant lag throughout the sim day that was fairly bearable. With the update, the lag has made those files nearly unusable.

All of a sudden, the friggin' launcher has stopped working. Connected, not connected, every time I try to install something from the EA store I just get a message saying the launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close. Back when I first installed the game I was able to get Riverview and the four furniture sets installed, but no hair or clothing.
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the game to try to fix the launcher problem, but it's still the same. This is a full copy of the retail game I dl'd from Demonoid. I'm using the rzr1911 crack.
Thanks for help.
