After being out for more than a decade and dropping a few dozen DLC packs along the way, The Sims 4 is a fairly complex game. And if you play with mods, that complexity ramps up very quickly--which creates some consequences. The more mods you add, the slower and less stable the overall game will become. And if you've also loaded up your worlds with hundreds of Sims that you downloaded from the Gallery, things can get messy pretty fast--think long load times and Sims constantly getting stuck.

It's the sort of mess that a lot of long-time Sims 4 players have to deal with regularly--there are folks out there who have downloaded thousands of pieces of custom content over the years, and The Sims 4 does not load all that stuff very quickly. But don't worry--since this is not a new problem, we've got some well-established solutions you can try to get your game running better.

One quick and easy solution is clearing the game's cache--the place it temporarily stores images and other data for easy recall. While clearing the cache will mostly benefit mod users, it can also help if your worlds are overly full of Sims and complex homes that you've built or downloaded from the Gallery.

The return of Bleach has been well received so far, as the anime has featured some of the best animation to date in the franchise's long history. Not only does it look good, but this final story arc also features some of the biggest battles to date, where every major character gets a chance to shine. Part 1 gets the ball rolling with the invasion of Soul Society by the Wandenreich, while Part 2 showcases the power of the big bad Yhwach as he leads an all-out assault on the Soul King's palace. Part 3 hasn't been released on Blu-ray just yet, but if you want to stay ahead of the curve, you can pick up the manga source material.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen has long been considered one of the best superhero stories of all time, and for Prime Day, you can grab several discounted Watchmen film and TV adaptations on Blu-ray. This includes the cult-classic live-action adaptation, the TV series sequel to the comics, and the animated version of the tale, all on Blu-ray. Check out all the Watchmen Blu-ray deals below, and don't forget to check our Prime Day Deals Hub to see our favorite discounts available during the event--which runs July 8-11--or browse all the Prime Day deals at Amazon.

Watchmen Chapter 1 $20 (was $34)

For fans of the source material, you can pick up Watchmen Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 for $20 each. This is a faithful-to-a-fault adaptation of the superhero murder-mystery, as Warner Bros. used CG-animation to make the film look like an uncanny replica of Gibbons' original artwork.

It's an almost exact duplicate of the original 12-issue series from almost 40 years ago, and while it is admirable at how faithful this version is, some of it doesn't quite translate that well to this media format. Still, if you're looking to see the Watchmen story in motion, this is worth picking up.

See at Amazon Watchmen Chapter 2 $20 (was $30)

Picking up right after the vigilante Rorscharch is framed for murder and imprisoned, Watchmen Chapter 2 moves along at a brisk pace toward its shocking finale.

See at Amazon Watchmen: Ultimate Cut (4k) $15 (was $35)

This is the Ultimate Cut edition of Zack Snyder's take on Watchmen, and while it sticks fairly close to the comic books, it does take some liberties along the way. It's still a slick action-thriller with perfect casting throughout, and it looks amazing in motion. The Ultimate Cut edition features an impressive selection of bonus materials, as well as the animated Tales of the Black Freighter, incorporated into the movie.

See at Amazon Watchmen (HBO Limited Series) $13 (was $40)

Several years later, a sequel to the Watchmen comic books was released in the form of the confusingly titled Watchmen series on HBO. Picking up decades after the world was "saved" by the machinations of Ozymandias, the nine-episode series introduced new characters, themes, and a brand-new mystery. Critically acclaimed, Watchmen won numerous awards after it aired, including several Primetime Emmys.

The original Watchmen comic books are also readily available, and they come in several editions. The Watchmen regular paperback version is a consistent bestseller, and there's a pocket-friendly edition from DC's line of Compact Comics, but if you feel like spoiling yourself, you can grab deluxe and collector's edition versions of this all-time classic. The Watchmen Deluxe Edition is a reprint of the story on high-quality paper and includes 32 pages of bonus content.

The Watchmen Collector's Edition has been discounted to $70, and this version reproduces the entire series as 12 single-issue hardcovers, utilizing high-quality, recolored pages from Watchmen: Absolute Edition. It also comes in a slipcase to keep all of the issues in mint condition. Lastly, Before Watchmen completes the set, as you can get the entire run of mini-series focused on characters like Rorschach and Ozymandias inside of an omnibus hardcover edition. This prequel featured the best talent from the comic book industry at the time, resulting in fascinating tales created by notable creators such as Brian Azzarello, Darwyn Cooke, Amanda Conner, J.G. Jones, Lee Bermejo, and many more prominent names.

Thanks in part to that Netflix show about drivers with an urge to survive, Formula One's popularity has gone through the roof over the last couple of years. Lego recognized this and partnered with F1 to produce realistic model kits and fun playsets for younger fans. The Lego F1 lineup has grown exponentially over the past year, but the Lego Technic McLaren remains one of the coolest kits in the collection.

With the rising cost of video games, it's not a bad idea to grab something that offers maximum bang for your buck. JRPGs fit very well into this category, as these games typically offer deep gameplay systems to master and take dozens--even hundreds--of hours to complete. Combined with their enchanting stories and deep gameplay systems, these can keep you occupied for weeks, and for Prime Day, several big entries in fan-favorite franchises are on sale during the event, which lasts until July 11.

Some of the best deals are for the slate of recent remakes and remasters of beloved classics, such as Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a new version of one of the most important JRPGs of all time. On sale for $35 (was $60), the remake is faithful to the original's gameplay while updating the graphics, interface, and soundtrack for the modern age. Suikoden I & II HD Remaster is another revival of all-time classics, giving the 1995 and 1998 Suikoden games a makeover. It's on sale for $30 (was $50).

Final Fantasy fans can also grab remakes of the classic NES and SNES games with the Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition, which is on sale for $45 (was $75). This collection includes the first six mainline games in the series, each featuring new 2D pixel graphics, rearranged soundtracks, and several quality-of-life updates. You can also pick up contemporary entries in the franchise, like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for low prices, while Final Fantasy XVI is down to $25 (was $40).

There's no denying it: anime has become a luxury in recent years. Blu-rays for Japan's finest exports used to be relatively affordable, but like most things in life, their prices have increased recently. Fortunately, thanks to Amazon's Prime Day 2025 sale, you can save on a massive library of anime Blu-rays from July 8-11. Many of these deals bring the Blu-rays back to pre-inflation prices. Of course, with so many discounts, it can be hard to comb through the listings to find the best, so for this year, we've compiled our favorite anime deals on full season Blu-ray sets and award-winning films into the list below.

Fans of the Shonen anime series can't go wrong with beloved classic series like Bleach, Soul Eater, and Naruto, while more modern picks like My Hero Academia are also included. Castlevania: Nocturne is another solid pick, as it's a bloody good adaptation of the hit Konami video games about hunting vampires and other supernatural monsters.

If you're looking for something thought-provoking, Ergo Proxy and Akira are well regarded for their heady themes and groundbreaking animation. And for a more light-hearted watch, the endearingly absurd FLCL is on sale. Although it's only six episodes, the charming coming-of-age tale is enjoyable and features an impressive punk rock soundtrack. On the movie side, you can grab notable action flicks like Afro Samurai, Berserk: The Golden Age, and Demon Slayer: The Movie.

"Alan Wake 2 achieves virtually everything developer Remedy Entertainment set out to do," Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot's review, scoring the game 10/10. "It's a game that feels novel and risky that is executed with confidence and a clarity of vision. The end result is a one-of-a-kind sequel that redefines its series, blazes trails in video game storytelling, and stands as the monument to a studio that has unlocked its potential to the fullest."

Several other games are also on sale for Prime Day, so if you're looking to stock up ahead of the winter season, there's lots to choose from.

We're living in a golden age of fighting games right now, and for a limited time, you can grab one of the best modern fighting games, Tekken 8, for just $25 (was $60) on PS5 and Xbox Series X during Amazon's Prime Day 2025 Sale. This is the best price we've seen for the physical edition of the game, but you'll want to act fast if you're interested, as Prime Day only lasts until July 11.

Tekken 8 $25 (was $70)

All fighting games have their own gameplay systems and gimmicks, and the Tekken series adds a 3D component to its 1v1 brawling. This latest entry in the series ramps up the aggression with mechanics that encourage aggression in the ring. It's also one of the best-looking fighting games currently on the market. Like previous entries, it also features story-rich single-player modes, alongside numerous online matchmaking options, making it a solid choice for fighting game fans of all types.

PS5 Xbox Series X

"Eight years after its predecessor originally launched in arcades, Tekken 8 has arrived, and it has brought the heat to match the long wait," Jason Fanelli wrote in GameSpot's Tekken 8 review. "The Heat System is an exciting addition to the fighting mechanics earmarked by flashy moves and multiple ways to use them. The roster is deep and varied, and it offers something for everyone. Both offline and online players will find plenty of things to do, and the customization options all add a personal flair. Tekken 8 is poised for another near-decade of dominance, as it's a Devil of a good time."

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

$40 (was $70)

PS5 Xbox Series X

There's no shortage of discounts for video games during Prime Day, but if you're looking for an anime-inspired slugfest featuring warriors with the spikiest hair, look no further than Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. Released last year, Sparking Zero is on sale for $40 (was $70), and it features the biggest roster of characters to date in Dragon Ball media.

This is also a good-looking game, so if you're looking to show off some console power on an OLED TV, be prepared for your friends to rub their eyes as if they'd just been met with a Solar Flare attack from Krillin. "Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero does a serviceable job instant-transmissioning the Budokai Tenkaichi format into the modern age," Jason Fanelli wrote in GameSpot's Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero review. Overall, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is a fun flashback to the glory days of the Budokai Tenkaichi series, and if you're a Dragon Ball fan, there's a lot to love here.

What's nice about this game is that its accessible enough to keep younger members of the family engaged and adults can still get plenty of entertainment out of this.

For Prime Day, you can get a discount on what many consider to be the best consumer-grade VR headset, the Meta Quest 3S. The standard 128GB model is on sale for $250 (normally $300), while the 256GB model is down to $330 (was $400). Prime Day 2025 runs from July 8-11, so you only have a few days to cash in on this deal.

Meta Quest 3S 128GB $250 (was $300)

The Quest 3S is a lightweight, standalone VR headset that doesn't require an external gaming console or PC. It's strong enough to play a wide range of VR games directly on the headset's internal hardware, and can cloud stream games via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. However, you can also connect the headset to a PC and play even more demanding titles, too.

The Quest 3S is a modified version of the more expensive Quest 3--their internal hardware aspects are identical and both feature the same wireless Touch Plus controllers, but the Meta Quest 3 features better lenses, resulting in a larger and clearer image, but the Quest 3S still looks great. The Quest 3S also features a 2.5-hour battery life on a full charge, full-color passthrough viewing mode, and comes bundled with a three-month trial of Meta Horizon+, which offers a library of 30 games.

If you want to grab the Quest 3S with increased storage capacity of 256GB, you'll also get the same Meta Horizon Plus trial and the excellent Batman: Arkham Shadow, an action game that faithfully recreates the experience of being the Caped Crusader in VR.

See at Amazon Meta Quest Elite Strap $56 (was $70)

You'll also want to pick up a few accessories for the Quest 3S if you decide to purchase it. The default strap on it is admittedly not the best, but you can easily fix that with the Quest Elite strap. This has a better texture and design, and while it's normally $70, it's on sale for $56.

See at Amazon Meta Quest Elite Strap with Battery $104 (was $130)

The Elite Quest Strap with Battery is also a very good deal, as this equips the headset with some extra power. The battery is surprisingly lightweight for its design, and it sits at the rear of the headset to keep things balanced, adding around two more hours of playtime on a full charge. Normally $130, this is on sale for $104 during Prime Day.

See at Amazon Meta Quest Link Cable $64 (was $80)

Finally, you can also pick up the Meta Quest Link Cable and use it to connect your headset to your PC and its gaming library. While you can connect the Quest 3S to your PC wirelessly with the Air Link feature, the cable is nice to have as it make certain that there's less latency in your games.

It's also worth noting that an Xbox-branded version of the Quest 3S also recently launched as is still in stock. While it's not included in Amazon's Prime day sale, it's still worth considering since it includes several extra accessories you won't find in the above standard edition bundles. The $400 special edition headset features a new black and green color scheme, but is otherwise the same as the standard 128GB Quest 3S model. It also includes the Touch Plus controllers, a special edition Xbox Wireless Controller, the Quest 3S Elite Strap accessory, and three-month subscriptions for Game Pass Ultimate and Meta Horizon+.

If you’re looking for something more modern, check out the Nosferatu 4K Blu-ray. This is the version that hit theaters last year, earning stellar reviews from critics and viewers alike. It’s seeing a nice price cut for Prime Day, and because it’s loaded with bonus features, both the extended and theatrical cut of the film, and 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital formats, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone interested in the two collections above.

If you’re looking to get started with one of the sprawling Star Wars board games with multiple expansions, you’re looking at Imperial Assault, Shatter Point, or Legion. Imperial Assault is played with up to five players, with the strategic matches lasting up to two hours. Star Wars: Legion is a more traditional miniatures game, with matches running for up to three hours as two players duke it out on a sprawling battlefield. Shatterpoint is another miniature-style game, though it’s designed for smaller squad-based combat.

For Prime Day, you’ll find the Imperial Assault: Core Set discounted to $82.49 (was $110), which is the lowest price we’ve seen all year. The Shatterpoint: Core Set is also quite cheap at $109 (was $165), the lowest price in over a month (its price has been hovering around $132). The Legion: Core Set isn’t part of the deals, but it’s pretty reasonable at $109. All three core sets include everything you need to get started, including rulebooks, miniatures, and assorted accessories.

Being a streamer isn’t cheap. While you can certainly get started with nothing more than a webcam and laptop, anyone seeking a professional-quality broadcast will need to invest in some expensive gear. Luckily, several capture cards, microphones, and other accessories from the popular streaming brand Elgato are on sale for Amazon's Prime Day 2025 event, which runs from July 8-11. This includes the premium Elgato 4K X Capture Card for $200 (was $250) and Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 for $120 (normally $150), among several other devices.

Elgato 4K X Capture Card $200 (was $250)

The Elgato 4K X is a premium capture card that records at up to 4K resolutions and 144 fps. The device is compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, Steam Deck, PC, and iPhone, and setup is easy--just connect a few cables, adjust a few settings, and you’re ready to go. It’s usually quite expensive at $250, but Prime Day is matching its lowest price ever of $200.

See at Amazon Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 $120 (was $150)

The Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 is a customizable interface featuring 15 remappable LCD keys you can use to adjust audio, swap between streaming scenes or camera feeds, check stream stats, and more. There are also plugins available for a wide range of third-party apps like OBS, Twitch, Discord, and YouTube. This is just a few bucks above its lowest price ever of $118, which we haven't seen since last summer.

You’ll also find the XLR Audio Mixer + Controller Bundle for $180 (was $300) if you want a premium way to adjust the audio of your broadcasts.

See at Amazon

If you’re seeking a cheaper capture card, the Elgato Video Capture Card is ($70 (was $90). It's not quite as powerful or streamlined as the 4K X, but still worthwhile as a more affordable option. If you're looking to use a DSLR camera as your webcam, you'll want to grab the Elgato Cam Link 4K while it's on sale $80 (was $100). And for all the video essayists out there, the Elgato Prompter teleprompter is on sale for $200 (was $300). You’ll also find several mic mounting arms on sale, including the Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP for $70 (was $100) in both black and white. The arm features all-metal construction and 360-degree horizontal and 90-degree vertical rotation. A few other Elgato devices are discounted for Prime Day, and you’ll find our favorites below.

Amazon's Prime Day sale runs from July 8-11 this year. We'll be rounding up all the best discounts on video games, electronics, and more over at our GameSpot Prime Day deals hub.
