Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked
The PC warning accompanying Sim Update 7 identifies outdated Community-folder packages as a possible cause of unexpected performance or behavior. [1]
This warning accompanies the released Sim Update 7 notes for version 1.9.18.0; it does not identify a single faulty addon or guarantee that all instability comes from Community content. [1]
Documented steps
- For stability problems or long loading times, move the Community packages to another folder before relaunching, following the developer’s isolation check. [1]
