Crash while saving after playing a while
Zazazu:
Clear trash clears duplicate memories and stuff such as "Met X sim". Indispensable if you have a business owner.
My personal monthly computer cleaning consists of doing a checkdisk (no issues yet), virus scan, an adware scan, running a program called CleanUp! (20 times better than Window's default program), then defragging. I do a lot of photo editing and downloading and deleting free games, so my harddrive gets a bit pitted. For good measure, I then delete my CAS thumbnails, etc.
ZephyrZodiac:
Clearing the gossip from memory doesn't actually seem to stop them gossiping, any more than deleting trash (ie the met x memories) clears the met sim from the sim's phone book - they still know them, but the only memory of them that they keep is the best friend one as that's needed for counting up how many best friends they have.
If you got rid of that many memories, I'm sure your game will be a lot better for it, rather like going through the plumbing in your house with caustic soda!
Zazazu, why not try out the new jv16 Power Tools, you get a month's free use and unlike most trial programs, it cleans up just the same as if you'd bought it - none of that "you can clean up 4 registry errors (which turn out to be those Windows files that simply reappear) and to clean up the other 9,999,996 you need to buy the program!"

Awesome. I'll run that, too. My neighborhood has many businesses and throws many large parties. Some Sims have pages and pages of "Met X Sim" in their memories. This should help a lot. Thanks.
What does "Nuke Attraction Markers" do?
gynarchy:
Attraction markers are what makes Sims fart hearts towards each other. They can be passed along just like gossip and possibly become corrupted.

I've been going lot by lot, Clearing Trash. It's slow going. Killed maybe 10,000 objects so far (plus the 15,000 from Clearing Gossip).
Looking at my Sims' memories, I see another source of massive memory spam... Family Reunions. Pages and pages of "Had a Family Reunion" on many of my Sims. It's due to a tangled web of a few very large, multi-generational families in the neighborhood, combined with lots of House Parties. As a result, seemingly every party is a "Family Reunion."
Comparing the number of "Met X Sim" memories to the number of "Had a Family Reunion" memories, I'd say there are probably 15,000+ Family Reunion memories in the whole neighborhood.
Are those important for anything? And, if not, is there any way to easily mass-delete them? And is there a way to prevent new ones from being created?
