Features

One scan. The whole picture.

Point SimSweep at your Mods folder and it reads every single file, then hands back a sorted report instead of a shrug. Everything below is in the free download.

Diagnostics

Broken CC detection

Every patch breaks something and the usual answer is the 50/50 method, which means pulling half your mods out and loading the game over and over until you find it. SimSweep scans everything and tells you which files are the problem. Missing meshes, orphaned recolors, corrupted packages. All flagged, all tagged.

Conflicts

Mod conflict detection

When two packages override the same resource, one wins and the other silently breaks. You won't notice until something looks wrong in-game and by then good luck tracing it. SimSweep finds every overlap and shows you exactly which files are stepping on each other.

Security

Malware scanning

Every file is checked against known threat signatures. Anything sketchy lands in Quarantine, named and ready to remove, before it ever loads into your game.

Library

Usage analysis

You've been downloading CC for years and a huge chunk of it has never been on a sim. SimSweep cross-references your tray data and saves to figure out what your sims actually wear. Everything else is just taking up space and slowing things down.

Cleanup

Duplicate detection

Identical files sneak in through re-downloads and merged folders. SimSweep surfaces every duplicate and lets you pick which copy to keep, so you're not scanning the same package twice every time you load.

Crash recovery

Automated 50/50 method

When a crash has no obvious source, SimSweep runs the 50/50 method for you. It splits your Mods folder in half over and over until the file responsible is the only thing left. No manual folder shuffling, no repeated game launches.

Safety net

Quarantine system

Nothing gets permanently deleted. Files you remove through SimSweep go to Quarantine first. Changed your mind? Just restore them. We've all had that moment where you delete something and then realize your sim is bald now because that was the mesh.

Pre-flight

Pre-install checker

Drop new CC into the checker before it touches your Mods folder. SimSweep inspects it for broken resources and known threats so you know what you're adding before it can cause problems.

Script mods

Gameplay mod protection

MCCC, WickedWhims, UI Cheats, Basemental. These aren't CC, they're mods that change how the game actually works, and you really don't want to accidentally delete them during a cleanup. SimSweep recognizes script mods and keeps them protected while you deal with the rest.

Attribution

Per-creator breakdown

SimSweep breaks your entire folder down by who made it. See how much space each creator takes up, which of their stuff is broken, and what your sims never actually wear.

Decrypt

Power tools for Simmers who live in their Mods folder.

Decrypt is $5/mo or $48/yr via Patreon. It unlocks inside the app once you connect your Patreon. No card ever touches this site.

Save health

Save game scanning and CrashGuard

Decrypt adds deep save file analysis through the Save Health suite, plus CrashGuard for live crash monitoring while you play. CrashGuard watches in the background and flags which mod was loaded when a crash happened, so the 50/50 method is a last resort, not a first step.

Organization

Auto-sort and mod profiles

Tell SimSweep how you want your folder structured and it keeps it that way. Mod profiles let you switch between different Mods folder configurations for different playthroughs, no manual moving required.

Live sync

File watcher

The file watcher monitors your Mods folder in real time. Drop something new in and SimSweep picks it up immediately without a full rescan.

Curation

Tag editing and collections

Add your own tags to CC files and organize them into unlimited collections and wishlists. Find what you need without digging through a flat list of 14,000 files.

Recovery

Auto-backups

Decrypt automatically backs up your Mods folder on a schedule. If something goes wrong after a patch or a bad install, you can roll back to a known-good state.
