You can do this by clicking on The Sims 4 in your library, selecting the Settings button, and then clicking on Repair Game (please note that you must not be playing the game when you select this option).
While you're online, go into Origin and repair your game. rar., or any other file type, they won't work in your game! Remember, you should only see files ending in. Open up your Mods folder, and make sure you've placed the CC correctly. Look at the files listed there and you should see the content you've downloaded listed. You can also double-check that your custom content is installed by clicking on the View Custom Content button in the Options menu (go to Options > Other and click on the View Custom Content button). You should see the items you downloaded there. Click on the Filter Items tab, select Content, then tick the Custom Content button and you'll see all your custom content. If you can't find a particular item in Buy Mode (this is where your custom objects go), go into Buy Mode (by clicking on the tools icon or F2). As described above, make sure you have custom content and script mods turned on in your game. Here's a list of things to check and try when you run into problems: However, if it doesn't show up in your game, or doesn't work for some reason, you might need to do some troubleshooting.

As for the Start up and loading screens, go to your My Documents-> Electronic Arts-> The Sims 3 and delete, CASPartCache.package| compositorCache.package| scriptCache.package| simCompositorCache.package| socialCache.package| files.ĭon't worry, these caches are just a bunch of backup files of all the package files ever used in the game which you obviously don't need. If it makes you feel better, you can keep a backup of the folder and test it yourself.
Basically, you go to your My Documents-> Electronic Arts-> The Sims 3-> DCbackup.
So I deleted them and my game played a lot better and faster. I tried many things and mods to speed up my game until I found out that the problem was caches holding all the items used in game for easier access.
Not to mention how long it took it to start. sluggish, that it was painful and annoying to play. I'm personally addicted to clutter, it's never enough clutter for me. Installing mods for The Sims 3 can be very tempting where you'd end up just downloading a whole bunch of stuff, and eventually cause your game to lag.
