I don't think it really makes any difference. Long ago Prefetch had a reputation for being a place where malware can potentially hide to avoid detection and removal, but I don't think that really happens anymore (if it ever did). Clearing out Prefetch will just cause programs to cache there again. I don't see how it could possibly do any harm to clear it out once it a while generally, or while doing cleanup tasks in between an uninstall and a reinstall.

@igazor Ok so I've reinstalled everything and patched gradually as I planned (1.66 & 1.67)... Bad thing (again) now is that the game is stuttering like crazy. For "stuttering"(sorry but I can't find a proper term) I mean that when I move the mouse and the corners of the screen, my game makes little "bumps" across the roads and even on the map... Now I perfectly know that I have to cap frames & ecc... Infact I already made sure that my graphic card were recognized by changing the Graphicsrules(Texture Memory set to 1024), even before started the game for the first time (I don't get that annoying message, and in DeviceConfig it says "Found:1, Matched:1").

Also I have bypassed the launcher for better loading times. This laptop have a Nvidia gtx 1070, G-sync (enabled by default) and a 144hz screen...

When I load for the first time the game I don't touch anything in the Nvidia control panel's settings. I've only set to ultra all the graphic options (except water detail at 2, and Lot details at 2) in the main menu, disabled all internet-related options(store), disabled interactive loading screens, Memories, Opportunities and even Story progression. I've choose to load Sunset Valley, I've tried one medium-sized household... obviously I entered the "fps cheat on" and frames were on 400-500. I have exited immediatly the game worried of damaging my graphic card. I tought that were better to use Nvidia Inspector along with V-sync on... I capped the frames at 120fps(the highest option available).

Unfortunately the game still makes those bumps.... Can you tell me please if I have to disable G-sync? Also why in Nvidia inspector I can't cap fps at 144? I'm so confused and disappointed, I have fear that I have wasted 2000 € on this laptop

In these months I have learned practically everything on the forums to make run this game perfectly, but apparently it's only an illusion...
