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.

And of course, we are bringing some important bug fixes with this update.

• 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
