Cache files within The Sims 3 folder are temporary files created by the game. They help the game load faster. Over the time, a pile-up of these files can create slower game-starting times, to even lag. In this post, we will go through each folder and show you which files are safe to remove. If you want to learn what your The Sims 3 folder contains, please refer to our guide [here].
As an advice to lessen the lag and prevent corruption, we recommend clearing these files after each gameplay. They're regenerated every time the Launcher is running, so deleting them is safe, and them reappearing is also normal.
DCBackup - This folder contains the much necessary CCMerged file. After installing new content to your game, you'll often find files with long names full of numbers within that folder. It is safe to remove all of those files except CCMerged file.
DCCache - This folder contains all of your custom content divided into several .dbc files. You should only clear missingdeps.idx file, and any file ending in .tmp.
Downloads - Downloads will contain all Sims3Packs you installed. We advise copying these packs in another folder or an external device, should you want to re-install them again later. After that, it is fully safe to remove all files in it. Files named nav.bin and FSIViewCountTracking will regenerate the next time game is opened.
FeaturedItems - This is a folder generating photos and thumbnails of store content. It is fine to delete the entire folder, and files within it.
RecordedVideos + Screenshots - Both folders contain media captured by the player. Personal advice is copying the files from both of the folders into another folder or external drive. And then removing the contents from these folders.
WorldCache - FOR WINDOWS USERS ONLY - It is safe to remove this entire folder. Mac users SHOULD NOT be touching this file. Explanation why.
After folders, it is safe to delete the following files:
CasPartCache.package - CAS parts that appear in Create-A-Sim.
compositorCache.package - New objects that appear in Buy/Build mode.
I'm so annoyed, Tumblr doesn't work on our new wifi AT. ALL. I can only access it with my phone with the wifi off, but at that point I might as well use the app anyway. On my laptop it's the only website I can't easily access on any browser. I've tried so many things idk what else to do outside of calling our wifi provider ugggh
Anyone else having the difficulty of trying to submit a support ticket for not being able to log in, only to be kicked to the Session Expired screen on AO3? Because I'm very frustrated about not being able to access my account but not able to report the problem, either... 🤣
