and figured I'd share. It's good to do this to streamline your game, especially if you are like me and constantly add/remove mods and CC. 3 options for you.
All options get the same results.
Option A
Sims 4 cache clearer, using a very simple script, clears the following which is useful each time you start a new game:
- cache
- cachestr
- onlinethumbnailcache
- localthumbcache.package
- lastException.txt
Scanned because I'm sure you wouldn't blindly download a random file of the internet

Download
Option B
You can also make your own if you do not want to download this file but I do recommend you clear these files, whichever option you pick. Paste the following code into notepad++, sublime text or regular notepad and save as "
yourchoiceofname.bat" (make sure to select "all files" for notepad) and run each time you update mods or CC;
Code:
echo Batch to delete file
del "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\cache" /s /f /q
del "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\cachestr" /s /f /q
del "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\onlinethumbnailcache" /s /f /q
del "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\localthumbcache.package" /f /q
del "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\lastException.txt" /f /q
echo Done
Option C
Manually, before starting game;
1. Delete the localthumbscache.package file
2. Go inside the cache folder and delete all files that end in .cache, but do not delete the actual directory.
3. Go back, then to the cachestr folder. Delete all files here, but again do not delete the actual directory.
