ebc. File in DCCache - What is it?

[ElectricSimmer]

I was replacing the dbc. Files with ones I downloaded from the torrent here and I noticed that there was a dcdb0.ebc file in the DCCache folder. What is it and should I delete it after I replaced the dbc. files?

You should probably have asked this question in the torrent thread. However, I don't know what a .ebc file is. I have .dbc files - 3 of them - and a missingdeps.idx file. That's it.

You are looking in My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache aren't you?

Yeah, in the DCCache folder there is a file called dcdb0.ebc and I have no idea what it does or if it's safe to remove it.

Pescado posted in the really long thread about .dbc files indicating that both .idx and .ebc can just remain in the DCCache folder, no need to move them.  He didn't explain what .ebc is but someone else posted in that thread that it contains items downloaded from the store.  I, too, have a .ebc file and I have downloaded free items and a couple of sets that I bought right after I got the game, so I guess it's possible, just couldn't swear to it.

In that case i'll just leave it alone then. Thanks

I have explain, the .ebc file is a content, that I have bought in Sims3 store and free items I downloaded from Store. This file is right in DCCache.
