Using Aging Off/Story Mode Off - game takes 18 minutes to save
uaintjak:
Removing all mods, starting the game, saving, and then re-adding the mods cut down my save times considerably as well. Went from 6 minutes saves down to less than a minute.
DigiGekko:
Same here, thanks twallan, that was a great tip. I wonder what Pescado has to say about this "discovery."
Anonym:
Twallan's discovery worked for me, too. Save files dropped from about 78k to about 55k, and the saving time dropped from 15 or so minutes to a a minute and a half or so.
I have no idea why it works like that, but it does.
I did it with sacred households intact (I don't use SC, though), figuring that if it deleted those households I'd just work from one of my other saves and that time remove sacred from everyone. My Sacred households were fine and just lost Sacred status. The only thing I lost-- besides wants, which is really trivial-- was that some custom clothing from MTS2 has to be returned to my sims' used wardrobes through the dresser command.
I'm sure times and file sizes will creep back up, but when they get really bad I know a way to get them back down.
I don't know if it will get rid of the Error Code 12 save error; but even if it doesn't, with the shorter save times saving every 15 real life minutes wouldn't be so bad, so if I hit the EC 12 I'll lose much less progress.
I'm also interested in Pescado's theories of why it might work as well as it does.
Thanks, Twallan!
Anach:
The error code 12/13 were happening since the game was released, without any additional content, so i'd say the only way that will be fixed is through an official patch. If EA fix those error codes, it may fix all our save issues, as there is definitely something up with saving.
J. M. Pescado:
No idea. I have never encountered this in my game, perhaps because CERTAIN PEOPLE refuse to send me an afflicted file.
