Bloated save files
« on: August 05, 2021, 03:33:34 PM »
Hi
I noticed that one of my sims 3 save files has started to become kinda big, one of the reasons being that I am a few generations in now and they have moved to a couple different worlds. I have the nraas traveler mod which keeps my sims relationships with people from previous worlds, since I don't want my sims to forget about the family members they leave behind when they move someplace new. I know that this is part of the reason that my save file has become bloated. But the very first sim I played in the save was an explorer who went to the three worlds from sims 3 world adventures. I don't play with this sim anymore and I don't plan on ever visiting those three worlds again, but they take up some space in the save file. Can I delete these worlds' files from it and what would happen to my game if I did? I don't know a lot about this sort of stuff so I don't want to accidently ruin my game. There's also a file called "travelDB.pakage" that takes up 500MB on its own. What does this file contain and is it safe to delete?

Kuree's Save Cleaner is the first tool that came to mind (and how to use it), it's safe and endorsed by the NRaas community.

I was doing a little searching on this last night and found a couple things that might be helpful.

What are the TravelDB and ExportDB packages in my save-game, and why are they so big?
