What is package-clientDB-18.pkg linked to my sims 4 game.
Aah yes, I have it in the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Saves > Scratch folder too. Read about Save files in Crin's post I linked to.
Nothing to worry about, just leave it alone.
BTW, the All Files isn't a location on your Mac, it's the default view setting when you open a Finder window.
It was accidentally downloaded when the game started up and when I put a query on the web it went to a Russian sims fan site.
It won't be deleted every time I try as soon as the game starts up it's back.
I am using a Mac I uninstalled the game and origin but I missed some files as when I reinstalled the saved games were back and so was this file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am concerned that this is a corrupt file.
I have downloaded stuff off the gallery before but have only just noticed this file. I have uninstalled everything even the saved games and the file only came back when I created a new sim and started a new game so could it be linked to creating your own content. I could just be panicking over nothing and worried I downloaded something I shouldn't by accident when my game started up then blacked out saying it needed to debug maps or something.
I think I have attached a screenshot of the file that is in my all files folder on my mac correctly to this message but I am not that tech savvy so please forgive me.
Thank you again for your assistance with this.
I think I'm seeing similar files in the cache folder sometimes (not at the moment though, it's totally random). Is this were yours is located? I just delete it with the rest of the folder's content.
Where is this file located?
I have the game installed on two different Macs and don't have that file in either of them. The closest I have is the clientDB.package file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. For an explanation on this file read Crin's post.
Hello
The file is just in the all files on my mac, I do also have the clientDB.package file you mention in the same place you mentioned as well.
When I used get info for the package-clientDB-18.pkg this it what was written Kind:installer package, Where: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/scratch.
Thanks to your link I have now found it in the Scratch folder.
