[2020] Ridiculously long load times

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, do you also include things like buildings and trees in those 5 mods? Or do you have custom assets besides mods?

How much RAM does your computer have?

I've got 8gb of DDR3. The mods I have currently installed are quality of life mods, so tree brush, precision road placement etc. (can't remember their actual names). No other custom assets or anything. No dlcs or anything

Your 8 GB are probably full with just the basegame. How long is your load times roughly?

Best thing you can do here is set the max of your pagefile to 32 GB and make sure it's on a drive that has plenty of space for it.

Another thing you could do, is lower the graphic settings for textures. That would have the game load a smaller version of all the textures, meaning your game would take up less RAM and would load faster.

And then ofc upgrading to have more RAM or being able to install the game on an SSD would also speed up things, but those aren't always an option.
