How it works:
Download the .zip file and extract 'ctrlshiftclean.exe'
Open ctrlshiftclean and select your Sims 3 folder.
Choose what you want to clean using the checklist. You can select cache files, WorldCache, Thumbnails, FeaturedItems, IGACache, crash logs, launcher & log files, script error files, and DCBackup while keeping the ccmerged.package safe.
Click clean and let the tool do the rest.
Files are not permanently deleted by default. Everything has the option to be sent to the Recycle Bin, so anything removed can be restored if needed.
Save files, mods, and custom content are never touched. Only files that are safe to delete or recreated by the game are removed.

Install Instructions
1. Click the download button, or the filename, to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
