Removing Packages

  • To remove packages, open C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\ folder.
    • Delete the package as you would with any file
    • Also delete your cache files, for good measure.


Removing Sim3Packs

  • Start up the Sims 3 Launcher (C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\S3Launcher.exe)
    • Click on the Installed Content tab
    • Check any custom content you wish to move and hit Uninstall

Also, you can click the Downloads lab to get rid of the unneeded Sims3Packs that have already been installed into your game.


Cache Files

Cache files are temporary files that are saved by the game to make loading certain information faster. If these files have incorrect or corrupted data, it may prevent your game from loading. The game will regenerate fresh copies of these files each time it loads, so deleting them is perfectly safe, and it's normal for them to reappear.
  • To delete your cache files, open your C:\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder. Inside will be a number of cache files:
    • CasPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package


  • Also look inside the C:\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\WorldCaches folder (if you have one)
    • Delete any files inside that folder.

Don't worry if you don't have a WorldCaches folder, or if it's empty - (some people have WorldCaches and some don't.)
