Game won't start.

Hmmm. C drive has 28GB free and D drive (mydocs) has 118 GB free. I have 4G RAM and an ATI  x1950 card.

The borken cache file is usually around 600KB, although the last one I deleted was over 3000KB. I had been cleaning out my downloads and installing new things before the latest corruption. I assumed that it would probably barf after all those massive deletions and additions.

But, as a rule, if I haven't been doing any major spring cleaning, the groups.cache file is at or around that 600KB size. I have never had to delete any of the other .cache files..just groups.cache. Puzzling.

I really gotta wonder how you people bork those files, because I've never, ever, had to delete those files for any reason that you normal people would.


The groups.cache file will cease working after it gets to be a megabyte. This is a consistent issue on my setup, at least, and has been tested many, many times. This means one has lots and lots of CC.

Thanks for that info - useful to know.  Mine is about 256kb at the moment, but I delete it pretty regularly on principle.  Also I had a clearout of old clothes.  I've dumped a lot of downloads from my Base+OFB only days.  If I haven't used them by now, I'm not going to and  anyway all the clothes from the EPs give my sims plenty of choice.

How about that accessory cache?    Does that suffer from the same problems as groups.cache?  Mine's 6,254kb.

Well that would explain why I never have to delete mine either.  I have a fair bit of CC clothing, but have not used cc furniture or objects that much.

Zazazu:
Wow. I don't use anything but cc furniture. Maybe an EAxis counter will sneak in, and I do generally use their toilets, but that's about it.
