Hi there! Mine takes about 20 minutes to get to the neighborhood screen, and an extra 5 or so to get into CAS. 🙂 It used to take 40+ minutes (possibly even close to an hour?!) before I got my SSD drive and back when I had over 17GB of CC… :O
As much as I loooove CC, I’ve trained myself to become a lot more selective when downloading because having the game load (relatively) quickly and running smoothly makes a world of difference for me. 🙂
