Title: Anyway to stop Sims autonomously taking photo-booth pictures? Post by: Killzone on 2011 February 16, 16:30:07 My current neighbourhood has 202 Sim character files totaling 118MB. Some of these files were over 2MBs in size and I investigated further.
In nearly every instance the cause of the large size of character file was due to the Sim having photo booth pictures in their inventory. The Sims with 3 photo booth pictures had the largest files. (Just from my observations it seems Sims don't have more than 3 photos taken autonomously in their inventory - maybe a limitation?) I had a Sim throw several large parties, selected all Sims and deleted the photo-booth pictures in their inventories. The result was the character files reduced in size from a total of 118MB to 90MB, nearly a 25% reduction. Just a couple of examples:- Sim A character file 2.25MB - after deleting 3 photo-booth pictures size reduced to 268KB Sim B character file 2.09MB - after deleting 3 photo-booth pictures size reduced to 267KB Is there a hack available to stop this behaviour?, I Googled but failed to find anything, but I'm old and senile and fail at a lot of things. On a separate note, are the Sim's memories stored in their character files? Using the Bat-box I deleted trash memories, and even when some Sims had over 50 memories deleted there was no noticeable reduction in size of the character files.

This is why I guess that it is a mod making your sims doing that at all. Title: Re: Anyway to stop Sims autonomously taking photo-booth pictures? Post by: rufio on 2011 February 17, 23:59:42 FWIW, I have no photo-booth-related mods, and I have had uncontrollable sims autonomously take photos, though it only seems to happen once in a blue moon. Probably your lots just need more distractions.
