Loading screens in Sims 3 were atrocious.
Also, as i figured with a DLC heavy game as Sims 3 were, that there was going to be issues if Sims 4 didn't have everything and the kitchen sink in the base game.
That's the punishment for playing a casual game guys. EA will wreck your wallet.
It takes like twenty minutes for to get past the opening loading screen and town loading screen
