Wow, talk about load times...
bitterquill:
That's definitely true. As I said, making sure you have the filters set correctly is the first step. I tried it with and without the registry entries that Delphy provided in the thread, too, and still initially got the same problem. I'm not sure if anything I described above actually helped with the memory leak, but being able to use keyboard commands is certainly helpful when the program crashes within seconds, not giving you enough time to point and click to stop the crash. And maybe Vista had nothing to do with it, either, but I know I haven't had any trouble since switching to 7. So yeah, I only know what worked for me.

The Process Monitor is on that page but the filter is on page 12 of that thread, that way you'll only load Sims 3 or the EP. The original page is not what you're going to see the results from though. Once you've got the monitor running with the game fore about 5 minutes quit the game then on the ProcMon menu choose Tools/Count Occurrences then select 'path'. Then you can click on the 'count' twice so that it will show your highest repeat offenders first. Anything from your package file that loads about 200 or more times should be deleted. Hope this helps.

This works. I have deleted the offending files and the load time is down from 45 mins to 3-4.
