Apocalypse! How many are left?

To control the TS2 loading time, I personally do the followings to start TS2 in less than 1 min.:
1. restrict the amount of CC. Use the ones you know you'll use. May sync the downloads folder along with the neighbourhood root folder set.
2. trim away the useless jpeg files in lot files with simpe. Just a few clicks. Or, use Mootilda's LotAdjuster to do so. These are the weird and clumsy graphics seen in exchange pages for lots.
This will decrease the neighbourhood folder size tremendously by a general range of 30-70% but closer to the higher end. This can save the HD space and time to load. Yet, they're re-generated as lots are saved. So, for meintenance, only the updated lots may need further follow-up.
3. Use 1 or 2 neighbourhood at a time. Simply move around the root neighbourhood folder to different pre-individually named folder likes, "neigh1", "neigh2", "neigh3", a "neigh-temp" (for the temporary swap place) etc. No further renaming when switching neighbourhood root folder.
4. for multi core, may use only 1 core for TS2.
5. With at least a core high like 3Ghz.
6. more RAMs. RAMs are cheaper nowadays.

TS3 has a long way to go before it "matures", really. Someday it will surpass TS2, but that day is probably not today.
DrNerd:
I'm still on TS2. My rig can't handle anything beyond Seasons, so TS3 is most definitely out of the question. That said, TS3 didn't sound like anything I wanted even before the system requirements came out, and Pescado's comment that TS3 is a game whereas TS2 is a toy just reinforced that. I have 3 more generations on my Legacy, and even when I do get a new computer, I don't see myself switching.

I am staying with TS2.
I donīt know if I would have liked TS3 or not, but after Freetime I decided that I am not going to hand more money over to EA ... never. I bought IKEA, AL and M&G in a secondhand store ... and I donīt want to download the arrrīd version, because of principles :)

I still have TS2 on this rig, but have been playing TS3 exclusively. With AwesomeMod, the game is very playable. Granted, this is the base game, so the novelty does fade a bit, but I agree- TS3 will be the better game eventually.
