Delete all except ccmerged.package Wow I had 1,180 items in there, not counting the one you said not to delete. Well, technically, it's not required to do so. You could probably do that every 2 weeks to a month. Is that all you can safely delete. I'm trying to make my game run faster. To completely open the game (until I get to my Sim) takes about 8 minutes. I have an Alienware laptop (about 2 years old) with the top of the line graphics card and plenty of room, etc.
Hubby got me this computer just for the playing of TS3 and now I have TS4 on it. I have no mods or cc in TS3 and very limited in TS4.

I have no mods or cc in TS3 and very limited in TS4. I had a 17' Alienware laptop & it wouldn't stop overheating, even crashing during the middle of gameplay. I even bought a huge aluminum chillpad with 3 fans on it but it eventually wouldn't turn on & I lost everything on it.
