Simp4Sims Overhaul 05 - 1 Click Cache Cleaner
Added 2021-05-26 11:29:01 +0000 UTCThis is for Windows ONLY. Clean all Origin and Sims 4 caches and temporary files in 1 click!
- Firstly!! Make sure you close down Origin fully by right clicking the little icon at the bottom right of your screen and choosing Quit Origin.
- Then you need to download BleachBit
- Once you've installed it, download the .xml file attached at the bottom of this post. Put it into C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\share\cleaners
- Then right click on BleachBit and Run as Admin
- Before we select anything click the BleachBit icon in the top left of the window and select "Preferences" we want to select the 3rd checkbox there labeled "Download and update cleaners from community (winapp2.ini)" so make sure this is checked ✓ then click [Close] at the bottom right.
- You will need to restart BleachBit for the community file to take effect. So hit the [X] in the top corner and then right click on BleachBit and Run as Admin again
- On the list of items on the left hand side (collapse groups by clicking the little arrow to the left). You need to find 2 groups, both need to be selected:
- Games (only select EA Download Manager, Origin, Origin Installers, The Sims 4)
- Simp4Sims Origin and TS4 - Then click the Clean button at the top left of the BleachBit window
- Restart your PC after the clean
- Origin will require you to sign in again -- if you usually play in offline mode, you will need to run the Sims once while connected to the internet for it to rebuild all the relevant files.
------
If you choose to use other cleaners just be careful to read the warnings that appear when you select them. Certain cleaners can take quite some time while others can wipe files and reset explorer and so on. Use at own risk!
------
The options you choose will still be selected when you start BleachBit again! Essentially allowing you to clean Origin and Sims 4 cache in 1 click!

Hey I figured out the missing Games options. I've added it to the post Before we select anything click the BleachBit icon in the top left of the window and select "Preferences" we want to select the 3rd checkbox there labeled "Download and update cleaners from community (winapp2.ini)" so make sure this is checked ✓ then click [Close] at the bottom right.
