Sul sul,
With this update we are bringing improvements to your Marketplace browsing experience. Previously, Marketplace images were downloaded every time you browsed. Now, they’re cached after the first download, so we’ll only download images that are new or have changed.
Along with performance improvements, Create a Sim (CAS) is getting some stylish additions, including new clothing especially designed to celebrate Sims of every size, plus an out-of-this-world hairstyle.
And of course, we are bringing some important bug fixes with this update.

What’s New?
Image Cache
The new Image Cache looks to improve loading times and reduce downloading of images across the Marketplace on subsequent visits, reducing the time needed to do a little window shopping or picking up that new Maker Pack you see everyone talking about.
If you run into any issues with Marketplace images, you can manually clear the image cache by opening the cheat console and running the cheat command:
- clearonlinethumbnailcache true
While our PlayStation and XBOX Simmers can’t peek under the hood at the cache directly, on PC/Mac you can view this cache by navigating to:
- Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\onlinethumbnailcache
The cache will also be automatically maintained 14 days after the last Marketplace visit and remove unused images and free up space on your storage device, and while the cache has an upper limit of 250MB the space the cache uses will generally be lower.
New Size-Inclusive Styles
This base game drop enhances body diversity representation in Create a Sim by adding a new set of CAS assets designed to flatter Sims of all shapes and sizes.
