Auto-Delete Sims iii Cache and Run it on Steam

Relish this automatic saved game cache cleaner and game launcher in an all new handy batch script... Simply for Steam players of The Sims 3!

Introduction

Inspired by a commenter from one of my other guides inquiring about a similarly functional script for Steam (specifically for one that did not accept the "In non-Steam game" condition attached), I finally got around to installing Sims 3 on Steam to encounter what I could come up with. Seeing as I never had need to run the Steam version earlier, writing the script was a bit problematic because of the version difference between Steam's and Origin's… therefore I was non surprised when I ran into some issues.

Correct away I started having bug with the game's launcher. This was something I had non encountered before with my game install on Origin. I would get the "The uploading process is running. Practice you want to cancel this process and exit the awarding?" message when I would attempt to exit out of information technology. After confirming that I wanted to go out the launcher, I found that it would still be running in the groundwork even if the game itself was non. So, I began to scour the internet for a workable set up for the Alert message window. (Run into this link for details.)

Needless to say, hither is a much-anticipated saved game cache clean and launcher script merely for The Sims iii players on Steam!

Troubleshooting

Additional Notes

If launching Steam through the script, users with authenticators will have no trouble equally the game itself will run immediately after successful login. Furthermore, the fix for The Sims three Launcher has been included in the script and the Steam overlay should work equally normal.

It should be noted that when I began testing the script on Windows x, I created a new game with a new randomized character in Steam. Since game saves are stored in the Documents folder – and I never uninstalled Sims 3 from Origin, I decided to exam the saved game using the script I fabricated for Origin to await for compatibility issues between versions. Afterwards, I ran the game once more from Steam, and information technology appears that saved games work fine when played from Steam or Origin, regardless of which DRM client created the new game or which i is running information technology. Be enlightened, nevertheless, that custom content created by 3rd party creators might non be compatible and display erroneously. If this is the case and the appearance should bother y'all, it is recommended to swap out the content with something that displays correctly.
