The game regenerates these files everytime you load your game.

Then delete the files in this folder. This will reset all the world objects and sims in the worlds you've loaded.

(The game regenerates these every time you load a world.)

Delete all the files in this folder.

These are just images genereated by the EA store everytime you load your game and they will regenerate as well.

Deleting these files will cause your game to regenerate the icons for all objects and CAS items.

This will help with any CAS items or object's icons not showing up in game.

I do this everytime before running my game. It helps me with lag and I hope it'll help you too. :D !
