Regul Save Cleaner is one of my favorite Sims 3 mods that helps deal with lag, but it isn't as commonly talked about as other mods like smoothness patch or NRAAS. I thought today I'd shed some light on this underdog of a mod! www.twitch.tv/acottonsockk

Got this mod thanks to NotMalcolm who plays a huge legacy on his sims 3 KZfaq channel. It helps my saves from being bloated and corrupted.

I have played Sunset Valley rotationally using story progession for 133 sim days and my save file was 310 MB big. It was very annoying to play with. I consider recreating everything in TS4 since I don't experience lag there but I never manage to stick with TS4 since it gets too boring to play. After I used the cleaner it is now 119 MB big and it says it has been cleaned 61%. That is phenomenal!! Thank you for the tutorial.

Well, 86% cleaned. Been playing on this save for 4 generations. Started getting the supposedly infamous error code 12. I'm writing this waiting for my game to hopefully save. It's taking a heck of a time. Took about 7 mintues, but it saved!

I really don't know how people didn't talk about this program like FOR REAL, I see a lot of optimization tutorials but none of those have this included and I don't know why, since the major problems with lag in Sims 3 is 60% fault of the save itself!! I discovered it just a few days ago and it improved a lot my experience, even with recent saves that I didn't played that much. Definitely a MUST HAVE for every Sims 3 player!!!

I've heard about it but I was confused on how to use it. I didn't want to risk messing anything up because I misread something, so I'm glad you made this! 😌

This reduced my file size by 70% LOL. Life saver

"look at this huge save! it's 200MB" me: *hides my legacy save i've been playing for almost 47 in-game weeks that's over 1GB* wow that sure is big haha 😅 EDIT: holy shit i just used the save cleaner on that save worth 1.25 GB and it got it down to 594 MB!!!! that's 53.75%!!!!!

Hi! I just installed Regul save cleaner and cleaned one of my two saves...it cleaned 61%😮. I had checked Regul before but it seemed complicated. It actually is very simple. Thanks😊

Thank you for this video! I decided to clean my old savefile and it cleaned 71% !! It plays so much better now too!

This is the MAIN program I have seen people talking about for a LONG time girl wdym 🥴

Hi Madi, I love your tutorials. Your way of explaining things is always so detailed and approachable. Thanks to your instructions, I have managed to reduce the size of my main save by more than 30%. 🙂🥰

51.36% on my first gen lepacy - week four (: thank you madi again 💕

Thanks so much for this! I have a sims 3 legacy on generation 7 that I just couldn't play anymore it was so bloated and laggy. Regul cleaned almost 40%!!! I can play them again. 👍🏻😊❤️

just cleaned my 3 year old legacy file and reduced 63%!!!! 261 to 95MB!!! super helpful video madi :)

I can second the warning on texture. I used it once and some lots got an issue where every time a lot wasn’t loaded their ”unloade appearance” was just a bunch of random lines. 😅 i keep that unchecked now and only used recommended.

I hope this helps me as I try to explore all tombs from World Adventures 😂

I just did that for three of my saves and in every single one of them over 70% was cleared!! I had over 700MB in them before, thanks for this :)

Will be retrying this mod based on your instruction! I followed the ultimate sim fix guides instruction and my game crashed😭 but I backed up my game so it’s working again!

i have this thing on my computer. i had my saves shrink about 60%. INSANE.

Thank you so much for this video! I never knew about it but I used it for the first time earlier and it worked wonders!

Thank you so much for this mod. I just used it for the first time and cleaned up/ reduced my save by 86%

Soooo I had never cleaned a save file until now and my biggest save is from 2014...887MB 💀 I was able to get it down to the 200s lol

i had a 2GB save file and it just debloated it by 70% omg thank you

My saves tend to only lag when they are 200+ mb. I think my issue is I tend to make every nice looking female sim a vampire to make them immortal as a way to save them to be wives for my future generations.

One time i had error 12 and reegul saver saved my game ,i watched a yt video and omgg its so helpful, its so great

A lot of this stuff that gets cleaned has no business being tied to the save data itself.

ahhh thank you for posting this! I was nervous to use this not knowing exactly what it did🫣

Just cleaned 71% percent from a save. Time to see if that did any good

Omgg im so happy i found your channel i rlly wanted to play the sims 3 but for some reason is really hard to find great and updated videos about ts3 like yours that explain everything on yt!!!

Like this really helps, like im in week 20 now and its not slow

OMG I NEEDEDDD this bc my sims 3 saves are 110gb and my drive started to scream at me

Thank you so much for this! I've started a legacy save and in the past i always had issues with legacy families. So thank you

Thanks for the vid! It cleaned 21% for me so hopefully lag will be less now❤

Thank you so much for talking about mods that so unusual to talk about. Idk if you can make a video addressing nrass careers which i was willing to download for my unpopulated pleasantview, and i've decided to apply one of the twonies Kaylynn Langerak to maid career. It'd be so helpful if you explain it about. PS. I love your content and your videos!!! 😭💗

Thanks for this!!!

Can someone like n respond to this comment so I can come back to this video

I love using regul save cleaner, my game finally doesn’t move at 1 fps

Thank you so much for this ❤❤💙💙

Unrelated question but where did you get that wallpaper? It's gorgeous

Sadly the only thing that actually works, is merging your cc. That or just not using any CC at all. It’s literally the only thing that stops the lag

Thanks! This is very useful

Thank You!🤍🤍

YO it cleared 84.22% 😳😳😳😳

I used the program recently and my game is still the same. I am using smooth patch, increased ram, cleared all cache, very low cc and my game is still lagging. Maybe it's because my computer is very very old. I'm sad and so tired of this :/

doing a Lepacy and it removed like 60 percent :o

it removed 67% of my legacy save :0

Part of the problem is the stigma against modthesims, which they brought upon themselves when they vehemently banned anyone from criticizing the "grilling babies" mod for The Sims 2 which defined the Sims modding community.

How often do you do this?

when i try to remove it and start the cleanup it just pops up in notepad?

Girl this is such a cool video, I did want to let you know that I think you're saying "integral" wrong tho. As someone who pronounce epitome as "ep-ee-t-oh-m" without anyone correcting me, I thought I should let you know.

off topic, but where did you get your desktop wallpaper? it's so cute

my main family's save is at 640mb god help me

Does this clear up the lag for Create-a-Style?

Why does mine doesn't open

I love the sims 3 but even though I have a good computer it literally can’t run

I just cleared 144.33BM from a save over 2 years long. 53%! I hope this will help my game load. It was 312MB How often should go oh use regul?

i wish i knew how to use the internet better when i was a child so i didn't lose so many saves

how do you do this on a macbook? I recently downloaded more cc for my game but its started to lag. I watched your video but when i downloaded it it downloaded as a zip file and then when i opened it it wouldn't let me launch. Anyone know how to fix this?

does anybody know how to upload to the sims 3 exchange in 2023? i have tired to upload my household and house in game to the sims 3 exchange but every time i try, it says processing and then my game closes. any tips? :/

My TS3 version is now 1.67.2.xx. is this mod fit with my TS3 version?

Do doggy doors not exist in the Sims 3??

Does this work with steam deck Linux?

More like Tool instead of mod

I dnt know why my sims 3 is so laggy unlike my sims 4 where I do have a tons of cc and mods it runs smoothly and with gshade on 😓 its so frustrating just why! 😭 I got bored in sims 4 so I’m here trying to find things just to fix my s3 😭😭 😊
