I want to take my custom content out of my sims 4 folder so my game runs faster and I don't use it anymore. I will still keep the files if I want them back but they will be on my desktop, therefore not actually in my game. Will my saved builds that have CC no longer be in my library? Like if I put the CC back in my game, would I be able to redownload the houses? Please let me know, especially if you know firsthand what happens with the builds.
@emma6706 Normally the buildings will stay in your library and gallery with the cc in it. Only new builds will have no cc or mods anymore. I usually give lots a different name and I will not overwrite them but save a new copy. Best is to backup your saves on an external hard disk or usb stick depending on the size of your save folder. I would even suggest making a backup of the complete The Sims folder (once and a while) just for safety reasons. When you also uploaded your cc houses and lots to the gallery and not only to your library, you will even have more certainty.
Take in mind that when you only remove the mods from the folder there will still be some residu left in the localthumbcache.package file. Only when you remove this file from your Sims folder there will be a real clean start.
Have fun playing. 😉
