It helps to make your game faster by caching things used and displayed the most for faster access. While that may resolve some problems, it's severe over-kill.

You don't have to delete the cache files before every play. They break because the coding of the game changed and they need to be altered to match the new game coding. They don't break simply because you didn't move your mods folder out and they magically got 'corrupted'. If mods don't work after a game patch, it's because mods break with updates. I've been playing the Sims 4 since it was released and with the hundreds of updates and patches, I have NEVER ONCE moved out my mods directory and NEVER ONCE had a problem because of it. The game doesn't touch your mods directory during updates. A story everyone throws around that has absolutely no basis and accomplishes nothing. If you want to know what to delete in regard to cache, check this: ĪFAIK, moving your MODS/CC out of your mods directory during updates is nothing but a false rumor.

It should also be the first thing you try if you're having game issues. It should be done every time the game is updated, or you add or remove mods and CC. ever.ĭeleting the cache files is a VERY good idea. (Doesn't matter actually, the game will only re-create it, but deleting it is pointless) I suppose if you suspect your Resource.cfg file is corrupt, you can just delete it, start the game, and a new one will be created.
