Can i delete dccache sims 3

View in thread. It's not the back up, its the DCCache. I read a response you gave to someone saying that it was safe to delete chache files.

So I was deleting the standard 4 being CasPart cache, compositive cache, script cache, simcompositive cache. But with your response, thought DCCache was fine to.

I have since read a description for everything under Sims3 and know that I can't delete that particular one. But I've turned this experience into a positive and have taken a few days to organize my downloads.

Makes me feel a whole lot better. Help us improve Answers HQ! Take Survey No, Thanks. Sign In or Register. See details Show less. Turn on suggestions.

I find that sometimes my game is going at speed 1 even if it's supposed to be at speed 3. This should really help, especially with my legacy, when I get the house to be huge with a whole lot of stuff in there.

Don't judge me. Too late. You're welcome My game has been running slow for several days and it was making me crazy! I've been playing Sims 3 for about 4 mths and WA for about 2 mths, and I've never cleaned that area out, so it's no wonder it was slow. I had over 2 GB of useless junk in there!

It does basically work just like web browsing. You know how your browser saves all the files you've looked at recently so that you can get back to them quicker?

Is there a certain amount of files you should leave in? Or can you delete them all? Forum Rules. So glad to see this post. The last few days my game has been crashing about every minutes literally, I kept a log.

I was at my wits end. I cleared this folder and no crashes since. Keeping my fingers crossed. Original Poster, I thank you, my sims thank you. Must be a time zone thing. Usually the Launcher keeps adding to a bundle, the first one would be numbered dcdb0. Then it starts new ones, which would be numbered dcdb1. If you remove one bundle, you will be taking all of the CC out of your game that got installed into it.

There is a way to examine each bundle, if you have more than one, and I think remove items individually using S3OC, but I've never done that. Seem to recall there is a downside reported to managing the dbcs that way, but I can't recall what it is. Not sure about breaking anything, but if sims were in the process of using items in a prior save that get pulled out on them this way, they could be left doing something that is impossible and may be reset or need to be reset if ErrorTrap doesn't catch them first.

I never keep anything in DCBackup at all except for the one required ccmerged. But only if you have pulled the dbc file in particular in which those sims data live. Reason I am not sure about worlds is that doesn't the Launcher at some point create a. I'll let the others here answer that one 4 - Correct, removing dbcs would have no impact on EA store content provided you leave the ebcs in place.

I forgot to note, pull your InstalledWorlds prior to reinstalling them then put any store worlds back manually out of the folder when done. Otherwise it will duplicate the.

I will certainly be taking the advice in the bonus answer as I seem to recall that EA 'helpfully' delete saves that use worlds you uninstall.
