Question How do I load an inactive atom?

I have a scene where the female atom is set to appear a few seconds after start. The problem is that when the atom becomes active she has to load first, which briefly pauses the game. This only happens on the first load up of the scene. I can replay the scene after the first play with no issues. Can this female atom be loaded while being inactive at start?
 
It is a problem in video game too, that why things are load out of bound. You could use a black screen to load her, deactivate her and then fade to your scene to fix the problem.

Another way is to have the female atom active on load, but located out of view, behind a wall, or outside the room. At the right moment, you load a pose preset that brings them into view. Using VamOverlays for such transitions is common. Having character atoms inactive can mess up some plugins. It's better to hide them in other ways so they are always active.
