The game has magically slowed to a snail's pace. Suggestions?

Two things I suggest you try:
Procmon, discussed in the MTS thread linked to here, http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17460.msg507158.html#msg507158 , can help you find problem package files that are loading a boatload of times. Follow instructions in (I think) posts 250 and 283 of the MTS thread. A couple of bad pieces of CC will slow your game down horribly.
This, putting CC together into dbc-style files, as described here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17746.0.html , also has sped my game up somewhat. But you want to use the procmon method first, or you may end up just putting bad files into files with good ones and you'll then have a hell of a time identifying them.

I had forgotten about the Procmon. Well, I tried that and the first time it froze soon as I got through the loading. The second time I was alerted my computer memory wasn't big enough to handle this. Could it be the Windows 7 64-bit that's the problem?
Edit: Okay, tride running it again and it's blaming Sims 3 on the memory shortage, so the Procmon can't even register the events.

Procmon did find a sims 2 package (hair that was on My Hair Blog that everyone uses) in my downloads folder and it kept trying to load it over and over. I removed that and the game loaded and ran much faster. Now, with no mods other than AM, my sims are all skipping work and school. Sometimes I get lag at midnight. I keep getting the damn Error 12 on saves. I am using "Save As" on saves. So far, it appears that I get one good save for each time I restart the program. The second save always craps out on me.
With the latest update, it looks like EA is checking to see if we have bought the store items before properly installing them. I tested this by buying a few. Only those will install correctly. The others that I downloaded from shared spaces are saying "Success" but the content is not there. I ran the recompressor to make sure.
I hadn't played this game since September and just got WA installed on New Year's weekend. EA still does not have this program working correctly. They seriously need to do beta testing with users before these releases and forced game updates.
