Factory reset
When putting back your save files after doing a factory reset should you put back your old scratch file or leave the newly generated one and should you also put back your old auto save file? Sorry I ...

I was having issues with the game crashing and small things like the age states not showing up on townies, no move household in from gallery in live mode which I still have on one save and not on another and general performance issues. So I thought if I reinstalled it without mixing discs and download and just stick to download it would be more stable. I also tried running with dual graphics cards (nvidia SLI) and I found the game was very choppy so I disabled this and it runs much smoother. Is SLI supported on sims 4? My save that I have had since the game launched is now 7000kbs and with all the patches and content added it affects your save. That's what made me think that after a while it's just better to start a new save on a fresh game, sadly.
The age no longer showing up on townies is something that affects a lot of people, if not all. For me,it sometimes does, and it sometimes doesn't. It's not something you can solve, you'll have it again in a new file.
The move in feature not working also seems hit and miss and if you have get to work and played detective, it might have something to do with the crime scenes not being properly cleaned up. That usually clears up if you load the affected house in build mode.
I don't think SLI is really supported but I'm not 100% positive on that.
Crashing could be anything really. Are you using mods/cc ? In what instances does it crash ?
I do agree that games played since release might become wonky with all the stuff added, especially if you use mods and cc.
Anyways, deleting the localthumbcache might help with the choppiness but other than that, I don't think a factory reset will help much in your case and you definitely won't need the files you asked about 🙂
The crashing usually happens when I try to load up the unplayed families in manage worlds and randomly during gameplay. As for cc and mods I never use these. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and just put the whole of the old save file back should I delete the auto save file, the scratch file and localthumbcache for game performance or leave as is? Should I also delete these on a regular basis to help with performance. Thankyou so much for your help 😊
There's no need to delete either of those on a regular basis.
The scratch folder has probably be filled with new content by now anyways and if you played the game, the auto-saved was replaced with a newer version as sell, so no worries.
I would just delete the localthumb for now and see how it goes.
I never delete any of my files myself but I regularly. start a new game, not because it goes bad but if I wanna play with new families.
