Random pictures being saved to my computer

this is happening with me as well and i have stopped playing sims 3 because of it. I play on a Mac. Have you figured anything out

I have the same problem while using  mac, only solution I've found is turning the internet off before loading and keeping it off while playing. Obviously prevents the online features from working if you use those, I personally dont so it makes no difference for me. Either that or scroll through up to 900 images after playing every time.

Hello, I know this is super old but the same thing is happening to me with my Sims 4. I play on a PC but around 500 photos of random stuff is being saved after every time I play. A lot of them aren’t even pictures , they are things that are saying “zoneObjects” 
All of end up getting deleted, but the thing is I don’t delete them they all just end up in my recycling bin somehow. I don’t know what is going on, but it is really annoying constantly having things being saved and deleted without my doing.

I attached a few examples.

@IsaGrace04  Do you know where they're landing before they wind up in the recycle bin?  My first guess would be FeaturedItems, a folder inside Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.  Try making that folder read-only.  If that's not the issue, disable the in-game shopping  experience through Options.
