The game has magically slowed to a snail's pace. Suggestions?
Clutzy:
My game has suddenly taken up snail racing, and the snail is winning when I try to load my game. When it first starts up there's a lag of black page that's the first tip off. Not long, but I've never had lag there before. Main loading bar goes along fine. When I select a fambly to play though, I can find myself waiting over 15 minutes for the first lurch of process. This change has occurred in about three days. I've taken out mods I put in recently. I've deleted all the custom hairs. I moved in and out just about any kind of custom content I think is large enough to affect load time. I even ran everything that should be ran through the compressor again. I've had no luck in changing up the fact my game is so slow all of a sudden. So, I'm wondering if it is the dcdb0 file that's magically causing this. I don't think 587, 048 KB (aka 573 MB) would be a correct number for that file. I'm not sure when the size ballooned to that, but it seems off. If so, then it's a matter of if I can find a replacement file or if I just need to reinstall again? If it isn't the file, then any suggestions on why it became so slow all of a sudden?

I have the same problem. Reinstallation did nothing. I was beginning to think my computer had a problem but I checked it out. Just WA is involved. I removed AM but it still ran super slow. I'm trying different things like going back to old saves and deleting various CC. Nothing helped yet.

Even without WA, I've got a real lag on my mom's computer. It's a bit like the 1 a.m. slow down: walk a few steps, stop, walk a few more steps, stop, walk a bit more, stop, pick up the baby, stop, play with baby, stop, feed the baby, stop, put the baby down, and it's two hours later without accomplishing much at all. I quit the game and delete the cache files, hoping a fresh start will help, but I wonder if it's just the cc hair on the child and toddler combined with school bus and work transport slow down whille playing a large lot. I really don't have large cc files (just a few modest-sized hair ones) and the only mod is AM. It is frustrating.

I've never really had any kind of lag that was beyond a sneeze's worth until really recently. That's why I'm wondering if it's just a reinstall needed, replacing the dcdb0 file since it's so damn huge, or something else entirely. At least it sounds like a reinstall really wouldn't do anything.

Reboot machine and make sure all unnecessary processes are disabled? If I get a laggy, slow load on the game I reboot and reload. That seems to work for me.
My game also appeared to hate SoundMAX and does not like the ATI Catalyst Controller. I have replaced soundMAX and disable the ATI controller. Also, play offline and disable your antivirus during play. That may help.
I sometimes have to reload 3 times or so to get a smooth game.
