I guess CC magic is not really for me then, but I will still use it for CC but I will be using Launcher mainly. It kind of sucks, I have Dragon Valley, Midnight Hollow, cow plant, savy seller, pea shooter, boardwalk, business as unusual bistro, bakery, Renaissance + clothes and stuff and it loads a new game in 4 minutes but when I get cow, chicken and Grandpa tractor it became 6 minutes is this normal? Are those 3 items so heavy? Have you experienced this as well when you installed those items. 2 minutes extra for just 3 more items seem like too much to me.
What is the loading time for your games? New and save.
Chatterbox Is installing CC as package files better than as .sims3pack?

20 minutes!! That only happened when I tried to play Alpine county o. My old laptop. I don't play with very long saves but my save games load in like 2 minutes, I play with long lifespan but for very few generations. But 6 minute load time on a new game after only 3 new items? That seems like too much to me. I don't get too much CC probably that's why 6 minutes feels like a lot to me.

@SkyDome: I cannot really compare my loading times with yours as I have all my CC (including Store content) installed as package files through CC Magic and I've never bothered to see how long my games take to load. It's not possible for me to test this at the moment either but I'm inclined to agree with fxchristensen that 6 minutes isn't bad.

If I install a CC with launcher and try to install it again by mistake with CC magic will it detect the duplicates? I downloaded most of my store content as part of a set so it gets confusing. And when I convert it to .package the files have names like 0x664567 or something which makes it hard to find duplicates.

I'm afraid it won't detect the duplicates. CC Magic has no idea what the Launcher has installed and vice versa. You can rename the package files after converting - just open the files in S3PE to find out what they are. Yes, it's a long, laborious task I'm afraid but I don't know of any other way. Maybe somebody else will have other suggestions.
