Go into your \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder and find the Saves folder. Mouse over your most recent save (or right-click it and select Properties) and note the size of the file. If it's much more than a few tens of megabytes, you've got some save bloat happening and that's going to slow down your load times. If it's taking that long to load, I'm guessing that you're north of 500MB and maybe into GB territory on your saves. If you're using a normal HDD and you can move your Documents folder off to an SSD, that would also help a lot.

The first thing I'd recommend is going into your settings and turning off memories. Next, go in-game, open your scrapbook, and delete EVERYTHING. Then make a new save using Save As and give it a new file name. Now exit the game and go take a look at the size of the save file. Hopefully it's lost a lot of weight. From here on out, forget that "Save" exists. It's always "Save As" with a new file name (you can rotate among three or four save files, though) and always quit without saving. "Save and Quit" should be viewed as akin to sticking metal objects into electrical outlets. It may not kill you now, but it will eventually.

+1 what marstinson said. Very good advice for you. :steamthumbsup:

I'm keeping a quoted copy of this answer in my files for answers to problems with the game.
