Is there a new Cache package file to delete?
After updating my game 2 or 3 (maybe 4) updates ago, I came across a new cache.package file as I went to clear the cache files, as usual. I absolutely don't remember this file from before the update....
Forum Discussion
After 25/Feb/2025 update, new package file added in The Sims 4 folder, named 'localsimtexturecache.package', this file very huge volume file.
Of course we can delete this file, can't we?
I don't know which tag is best for this topic, so I selected several.
Can we get an answer to this? the thing is giant
I saw that and almost deleted it, not having any clear understanding of what it was. I'm in the habit of deleting the onlinethumbcache, the avatarthumbcache as well as the localthumcache.package. Helps to keep my game running smoothly.
I'm by no means an expert, but this item showing up after the patch seems to contain the changes made. I'm disinclined to delete it, myself. but I will await a professional answer on this.

I just spotted this file today too so would like to know if it can be safely deleted.

Hey all,
The localsimtexturecache.package file acts as a cache of composited Sim textures, it's used to speed up loading times.
While it IS safe to delete, it will be generated again the next time you launch the game, and has a file size limit of 100 MB.Thanks, I guess I missed where this was listed on the patch notes... 🙄
Thank you for the explanation of the detail, and close this thread. So we can delete that file without hesitation :)
