Files to Delete?
Could someone please remind me what files can be deleted from my Sims 3 folder without interfering with my mod, lifespan and other settings, nor CaS creations? Here is a screenshot of my folder ...

I would suggest not using the Smooth Patch's .package files, as they're not compatible with NRaas MC and have other issues aside from that. They won't break your saves, but you might see some crashing or other anomalies. And the MC compatibility package has been removed because it didn't work. The Smooth Patch files that go in Bin are fine to use and are independent of the .package files.
If you use NRaas ErrorTrap, it's normal to get a scripterror or two every time you load the game. That's typically just ET telling you it did its job. I wouldn't even bother reading these files unless you see other signs of trouble.
Here's a description of everything in the user folder:

As for updating your NRaas mods, you don't need to do so; the previous versions are just as compatible with patches 1.67 and 1.69 as the current ones are. But if you do decide to update one mod, check for updates to your others too—you might as well update them all at once, among those that have updates.
The one exception is ErrorTrap, which needed an update to match the update to patch 1.69 that EA released two weeks ago. If you're not on patch 1.69, this has no effect on you, and you're not using the version of ET that got updated anyway.

Then what do the package files do? What is the point of them if they're not needed and the bin files are independent of them?
I only got the smooth patch because everyone went on about it and said it was the thing to have now and made it sound like as integral as NRAAS SP and MC or such, and the Sims 3 influencer YouTube videos about it all say how much better its supposed to be with it ...
I'd be interested to know if the same people swearing by it are experiencing the alleged improvement from the update.
Yeah I probably don't have the ET whatever that is, but I assume you're meaning Windows? I only have 10, Windows told me my computer doesn't have the specs for it, although I think it is a decent machine. Its probably meaning the Alder thing is it?
Anyway, thanks.
