Freezes at saving
Phoenix_Aeris:
Whenever I play a game now on the sims, I seem to be unable to save my games. The screen doesn't crash, as I can see the mouse swirly icon thing go round and round, but it seems to be stuck like that for as long as I can stand looking at it (so far it's been 10mins). The only mod that i have installed is awesome mod. I have the WA expansion installed, but this problem also occurred when I had just the core game installed.
As what I said before I tried it with both the expansion and the core game, I've also cleared my cache files. Still am unable to save (or I have to wait for several hours).
For those interested:
I run windows 7 64-bit
Sims running with patch 2.6.11

Not an AwesomeMod issue, although saving is very slow. Just wait for it.

You haven't given much detail about your system. If you have a sub-par CPU, low RAM capacity and even a slow harddrive, it could easily take a while to save.
It also appears to depend on how many changes you have made in between saves as to how much extra information needs to be saved. I have seen this within my game, if I make major changes to a building, or add new family members, etc, saving takes longer, otherwise it isn't too bad.
As Pescado, and you have said, it isn't an AM related issue, so probably a system problem.

TS3 doesn't perform delta-saves. No matter what you do, the entire thing has to be rewritten out, which is why TS3 saves take so much longer than TS2 saves. What you gained by avoiding load screens, you lose out in horrible save times. But while it's entirely possible with careful play to dodge loading screens, there are no circumstances under which it is wise to not save for too long, so ultimately, I think TS3 is the loser here.

Interesting. Must be something my system doesn't like from time to time. I get save times varying from 10-15 seconds up to 2 minutes. After a lot of building work, I end up with a long save time, which seems reasonable, but if I save again 15-20 minutes later, without doing anything major to the game, it tends to save very quickly. Given the way EAxis manages to screw things up, I am not surprised by anything the game throws at me these days.
