Sorry for the inconvenience


I just tried the downgraded version, it doesn't run either. I tried reinstalling .NET 4 and it said I have the updated version installed already so I'm not sure what else to do.
Thanks for your work anyway, it looks like a really useful program and better than the other cleaner. Hopefully one day I'll get it working

I have that too!

didn't work for me either. i'm using windows 10 fully updated, computer built end of last year, never had problems opening anything else.
  • downloaded, extracted, opened the .exe, nothing then log was created, opened as admin, same
  • deleted it, downloaded .net frameworks, told me already installed
  • redownloaded regul, extracted, opened, same as before

i included the log (i hope) idk if it will help

Oh, I completely forgot about the logs. Thank you so much for providing!
It looks like I didn’t make a function that when the localization was incorrectly defined, I used English by default. And this issue was not with .NET 5.

If I may request a feature to this mod? The feature of showing size of file before and after the cleaning takes place?


1.1.0 will be released soon, in which, I hope, I will fix all the errors, and there will be new functionality.
Sizing before and after cleaning? Will be done! :D

This is a nice tool. Though it would greatly help if each checkbox is explained in detail in the download description. And I'm curious if there are only three checkboxes to tick, because the scrollbar tells me that there are more..

@Onebeld thank you very much for this tool. It opens as it should but unfortunetly it says, that my save files can't be found and after I ticked ok on that message the whole program closes. Is there a way to manually assign the folder which this program should clean?

Interesting case. Do you have your save files on this path: "Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 3 / Saves"?

Okay! I will definitely add.
In fact, there are only 6 of these checkboxes, just scroll down with the mouse wheel or by clicking on the scrollbar itself. You can also hover your mouse over the checkbox for additional information.

@Onebeld Yes, I have my saves on this path. I have two ssd's.
Sims 3 is installed on D, but the saves are on C:/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves (in my mother tongue, not in english)

Strange, the path is correctly spelled out, but the save folder does not read.
Okay, I'll try to fix it.

Default Unzip Issue
I encounter a issue while I unzip the mod , I get that error who said :

An unexpect issue block to copy/paste file.
Error 0x8004005 : No Specified Error
Avalonia.Animation.dll

I'm on Windows 10 , what it could be ?

I tried downloading and unzipping the current version (v1.1.1). That went fine. I then tried to run the program and it's in a different language and am not able to change it back to English.

I still have a working copy of the program, but wanted to give others a heads up just in case anyone downloads the current version and isn't able to get it to work.

If I may request to put back up the "older" working version, please?

I forgot to delete the settings before publishing. This is always the case for me - when publishing, some problem will appear.

Go to settings ("gear" in the lower left corner), then click on the second lower combobox and select your language.
Second way: delete the settings file. It will automatically detect the language.

Sorry about that.

Try downloading the archive again, or use 7-zip to unzip it.
