The Sims 3: How Many Mods are Too many?

Hi!
I am a regular player of the Sims 3 and I'm sure that many of you are too :D My game has been running perfectly on my laptop, even with a few mods. However, after I reached to 204 mods with about 202 MB, my sims 3 game started getting REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLLLY SLOOOOOOOOOOOW ( app. 1-2 hours of loading ). How many mods are too many? I had heard people had thousands of mods without having a problem with the game. BTW i have World Adventures too. If you can, can you help me find a way to not delete my mods but help run my game faster? THANKS! :)

You could have 10,001 mods if they integrate smoothly with the game code and you have enough RAM and processor power.

RAM, CPUs', and HDDs' bandwidths and speeds: a Holy Trinity of gaming spec goalposts.

I run Grand Theft Auto San Andreas with scads of mods. I love that game. Some mods, though, my computer just can't handle like the Infinite Draw mod and some of the crazier script mods that can smoke an old video card.
