Patch 1.9/2.4 Issues (now with Fix)!
Skadi:
Immortelle - it may be that some packages are broken - I found a raon hair that was loading tens of thousands of times in 3 minutes of play. Is there anything like process monitor for Mac?

Right. I've managed to get the the game to run with the .package files. And note well the wording their folks. It was incredibly slow to load up. I timed it, 15 minutes in total to get to my actual neighbourhood. And once there, the game play was incredibly slow and laggy. And quitting takes forever. After 6 minutes I grew fed up and did a force quit.
Fuck this shit, I'm going back to Sims 2. Who wants to play a game that slow and laggy. Wake me up when they manage to figure out how to make it run properly again. With CC. And no kids it aint the processor. I have a pretty good processor and graphics chip in this machine, above and beyond what the game requires, so that should not factor into it.
EA, the very thought of your odious existence makes me nauseous.
I had the same issue before my puper crapped. It would take sooo long for my game to load it wasn't worth even playing. When it would finally load, the lag was so bad I wanted to throw the computer out the window. I'd try to quit and save, but it would take HOURS. To fix the issue, I found the content I wanted in Sims3pack, used the S3rc to compressorize, then extracted them, grouped them into categories and packaged them. My game now loads within 3 minutes and I have a little shy of 1 gig worth of content added.
But you're absolutely right. How much time does it take to get the stupid game to run "smoothly"? Is it worth all the time it takes to figure out "which" folder "what" file needs to be in, or the proper syntax or text string that's needed to make the content show? I've actually gotten to the point where I spend more time researching and trying stuff out than I do playing the game. (I kinda enjoy the discovery process though.) :P I hope you get everything figured out and enjoy playing once again.

Not exactly. Personally, I've been using a sort of estimate method, in which I add one new piece of CC at a time. If the load time is unbearably long or the lag is noticeable, I pitch it. It's a pain in the ass, but activity monitor (the mac quasi-equivalent of process monitor) doesn't monitor .package files.
That being said, some past patches have fucked mac users over, so it's entirely possible it's just the patch and not the CC at all. One of the earlier ones caused huge load up times on my macbook, without any CC present at all.

Does anyone have links to the standalone patches?
