Installed Celebration, Now Game Loads 50% of the time

(1/3) > >>

I have all of the expansions and they were installed in the order of release. 

After buying Seasons and turning off all of my hacks my game ran fine.

I added the InSIMenator v2.6b SIM Edition and noticed that a bunch on new objects appeared in my menu.  It was like every spawnable object was available seperately in buy mode.  I've read that this is not normal.  The game still ran normally.

I added Celebration.  Now the splash screen will come up and stay up for several minutes at a time.  Sometimes it will go away and 30 seconds later the game will start with very long load times (maybe all the extra content?).  Other times it will disappear and nothing further will happen.  When I check task manager it's as if I never began loading the sims at all.  Still other times the screen disappears and I get a massage that the application has crashed.  Do I wish to notify microsoft...

Can anyone give me any words of wisdom?  I have a 1-2 year old computer with greater than preferred hardware.  My hard drive only has 5 gigs space left, could that be a problem?

Thank you,
-M

Can't resist asking if that massage feels good.   ;D

Aw, my own personal spell checker!  Do you do short stories too?  You're better than my usual...

Normally maxis objects won't totally furbar the load times.
Have you got as far as re-enabling the custom content?

I left everything disabled with the exception of the InSIMenator.  I have not tried removing the download folder.  Do you think the downloads could cause problems as early as the splash screen?  I've wondered about that.
