The Sims 1, all EPs, on average, takes like, less than 30 seconds to load.

The Sims 2, all EPs and SPs and with about 400-so files of custom content, takes about one minute fifteen seconds for me to load.

The Sims 3? Never played it, but judging by how my computer wasted quite a bit of time on the loading screen, it has to kill my interest to play the game well before the game has even loaded.

The Sims 4? I'll be an old man... and that's good, because by then I probably would've thrown The Sims 4 out of the window.
