I'd guess the problem is simply the amount of data bloat involved. Try typing "therapture" into the console and seeing if the problem persists.

Pescado, that was ebil! ;D
I just managed to kill my entire neighborhood, trying that! I do have story mode on, unlike the OP, but I have the 20 minutes save problem too after installing some custom content -- which also fails to show in the game anyway. Meh.
My father was a Pentecostal preacher, so I grew up in church listening to sermons about the end of the world. I was reading this thread and read Pescado's post and started picturing a ragged street preacher shouting "The end is here!" when I reached the command "therapture". Then I proceeded to the next post and realized that was exactly what happened when you use that command, minus the street preacher of course.
Thank you for the much needed laughter!

I have story mode on. What sort of custom content are you installing?
My GF was having issues after installing lots of .package patterns. It would reach a point where she couldnt save and was getting graphical corruption after installing a certain amount of patterns.

Forget about it. I found out the reason for the saving delay and it has nothing to do with the suppositions.
The bug is that I downloaded an empty neighborhood somewhere (maybe at MTS2) that was supposed to have only empty lots, no families, anything. I was very happy to start my own hood from zero - Mistake!
I used the awesome "ListAllHomeless" and got a huge list of all the start personage from Sunset Valley - all of them - as homeless, just occupying space, whole families without a visible home.
Exported all my created families with houses and started a new hood, this time with all the original personage. Placed back one by one all the 20 families that I created in the supposed "Empty" hood. Entered the lots and everything was alright, all the characters in the correct family links, all the rewards, skill points, everything in order. Houses reset, pristina clean, the only thing, everybody had no wishes (I give a damn to wishes).
Saved every lot, saved the whole hood, saved more than excessive and every save took 30 seconds.
Problem solved.

Actually ive just done something similar. Using the listallhomeless command I found I had 59 unnamed NPC and about 6 named. I went and made each household sacred and then did the command JM suggested "therapture", which then purged everything but about 10 nameless NPC (unsure why they remain.) If that doesnt work right, then I'll try the export method.

I have about ten custom patterns, most of which don't show in the game. The REAL issues didn't begin until this morning when I attempted to add sims3pack files using Delphy's installer (not the monkey, the other one that -is- for sim3packs). Now my game takes 18-30 minutes to save, and graphical updates are chugging like my videocard was about to asplode. It takes the naked meshes almost two minutes to load into colour when I open a lot or visit a rabbithole. The packs I tried to add (did I mention most of them don't show in game either?) were EA shop stuff and some innocent looking clothes from Parsimonious and MTS. I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me next that the EA stuff had an extra security check somewhere that is killing me, but I doubt that the two other sources would have that sort of thing.
Damn you, EA. I can afford to buy the game. I just don't -want- to. Damn you and your Securom.

^O^ <--- screaming street preacher.
