Originally, I included an ultra-condensed (albeit sloppily written) script for Sims 3 in this guide. This is why I have written a couple of batch scripts for Sims 3 that will delete cached save game files and other junk, and will launch the game automatically after the cleaning process… so you won’t have to. If you have lots of custom content loaded into Sims 3 as I do, you will notice that game performance will still degrade – even after having moved the entire saved games folder to a new drive. Anyone attempting to follow this guide does so at his or her own risk and agrees not to hold me liable for any damages caused as the result of user error.
Works with Steam, Origin, and DVD installation discs for Sims 3 or with Origin and installation discs for Sims 4.ĭisclaimer: This tutorial utilizes advanced knowledge of the Windows OS. It is assumed that Sims 3 and/or Sims 4 is being run from either Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1 or 10 – but will also work with XP, with slight modifications.
It is advised to purge cached save game files and will touch upon this topic in the Sims Cache Cleaning Script section(s) of this guide.) (This can also be problematic for mechanical hard drives (HDD) as well, since they are slower to access large amounts of data. While The Sims 3 can benefit from increased SSD loading times, file sizes for game saves can be absurdly large… especially when expansion packs, mods, and all kinds of other content are used to customize the game, reading and – especially writing saved game data will eventually degrade load times and overall speed performance of the drive itself. In addition, constantly writing too much data to an SSD can significantly shorten the drive's lifespan. SSD's speeds up OS and most application loading times, however, they can be very costly depending on its storage capacity. Most modern computers have operating systems installed on solid-state drives, referred to as SSD's.
