Default Deleting Worlds from EA Expansions
Hello ,

If I delete the EA expansion worlds that I don't use from the game folder, for example, from The Sims 3 Late Night\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds\Bridgeport.world, will the game be corrupted ? This would keep everything from the expansion except the world, reducing the time to start the game and making the list of worlds smaller.

I mean, you could test it for yourself- just, for the love of god, make sure to keep the original world files backed up somewhere else while trying this! That way, if it works, yay, you get less loading time, and if it doesn't, then you can just quickly plop the files back in- no harm, no foul.

Some worlds have a lot of lag. For example, I couldn't play the Island Paradise world because it had a lot of lag. Maybe I'll try following this post from https://steamcommunity.com/app/4789...60338699791366/ in the future, and if I can't play it without feeling stressed, I'll try removing it from the game . I have done with EA Saved sims (https://greenplumbboblover.tumblr.c...ms-in-your-bin), and kept one from each species, and it is okay .

ellacharmed has fixes for the lag in the EA worlds, for example Sunlit Tides:

Maybe these will help you.
