Just change Community to Community1, it will create a new folder - do the update and you have peace of mind. Then delete the empty folder, delete 1 from your main folder and no problems. Few seconds work...

English is not my first language.

Does anyone know what's changed which doesn't require emptying the community folder any longer?  Was always a big drama before.

This is usually what I did

It was never a big drama here. I never emptied, renamed, copied or did anything to the Community folder and have not once had an issue. Maybe before SU1 there was a suggestion that it might be a good idea, who knows.

no, no and no. There is also another thread just below, which in summary says NO.

 I don't think that Asobo have ever recommended this, they do say that if you have problems after the installation then this should be the first step to see if there was a conflict with one of your addons. A few people missed the conditional and it then became an update mantra.

No.  If you update and start the sim and have problems, cleaning it out would be step #1, but I see no reason to do it ahead of time.

No, the update doesn't change anything in your community folder, but you may have problems with some community add-ons after the update, but that's another issue.
