The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here
Aquifel:
I've tried searching, forgive me if i missed anything. I installed... everything (just about) from the store content thread, anyways, since then the launcher is incredibly slow (about 20 mins to load/install new content), and i was wondering if anyone has found a work around for this immense slowdown (is it to be expected, or have i possibly done something wrong besides the obvious lack of restraint?), all the content does seem to still be functioning in game. I have all expansions and stuff packs up to date with latest patches, and no EA download manager, I don't use the launcher to start the game, only to install and keep track of content, anyone have any tips?
EDIT: almost forgot, it jumps to using about 1.2gb of ram during the time its frozen, then from there jumps up and down repeatedly as low as around 200mb.
jezzer:
Whenever you boot the Launcher, it loads all the Sims3Packs in the "Downloads" folder into memory. The more files you have, the longer it takes. Since the Launcher isn't recursive, a simple solution is just to create a subfolder inside your "Downloads" folder and move your Sims3Packs into it after you install them.

I don't know if this can help, but I have all the store stuff installed (even objects that came with bundles, promotions, etc.) and ok, it takes long to install, but surely not 20 minutes... More likely about 3/5, depending on how much files I need to install. So there must be something else that is "clogging" up your Launcher.

That's what I do. I've never had a problem with the launcher taking that long to load/install.
Aquifel:
I tried moving the downloads (should have thought of that myself :/), it still takes about 20 minutes (im not using hyperbole, it really is about 20 mins, about 10 mins to load, barely a minute to actually install, then the rest of the time is trying to close out the launcher), but that means, i have very likely screwed up something else unrelated to these downloads. So, i guess my problem is solved by no longer being relevant :D.
