Random pictures being saved to my computer
I have the Sims 3 Ambitions and Generations. Whenever I play the game it saves 500 random pictures of random objects to my laptop and it's really pissing me off having to go through each one and dele...

sounds to me like a featured items folder which is in the pc folders i don't know about mac folders for the sims 3 but that might be the same folder for you just named images which when deleting images from that folder they regenerate when the game is launched again.hmmm could you take a screenshot of the contents of that folder or at least one or two shots of the images so we can be sure it is featured items upload the image/s to photbucket (which is free ) or some image shareing site you might be a memeber of then copy and paste the link here ...i'm sure caspinwall will take a look as online to advise further
Here's a link to what one of the pictures are
And here's just a bunch of them in my images folder
Also, they're not being saved to a specific Sims images folder, they're being saved to my images folder of actual images that I've saved
- the images are definitley featured items images edit typo i dropped an s the way my typeing has been today i'm close to dropping the whole alphabet :D
Well this is very strange isn't it. As rum said, those images definitely look like the ones that normally appear in the "Featured Items" folder, but the OP is saying that they are appearing elsewhere.
OP - if you look in the "Featured Items" folder, do you see any images in there? If not then it sounds as though these are the regular images that are generated but for some reason the game is saving them to the wrong place.
Exactly which folder are these images turning up in?
Yeah the Featured Items folder is empty. Here's a picture of where they are. I have mac 10.8 so it's under All My Files there's an images folder and that's where they are being saved
Hi! The same thing is happening to me. I haven't taken any pictures in or of sims and I have not downloaded additional content. I know this is an old post, but did you ever find a solution?
Thanks!
this is happening with me as well and i have stopped playing sims 3 because of it. I play on a Mac. Have you figured anything out
I have the same problem while using mac, only solution I've found is turning the internet off before loading and keeping it off while playing. Obviously prevents the online features from working if you use those, I personally dont so it makes no difference for me. Either that or scroll through up to 900 images after playing every time.
this is happing to me as well and this is why i have stopped playing sims
