Bleh...
I just spent four whole days cleaning out my Sims 2 Downloads folder; mostly of CC that I haven't used or haven't used in ages.
The backstory: I was finding it hard to load up my families, so I decided to "clean house" as it were. Turns out that I'd had multiple downloads of the same things and not realizing it because some CC creators (not all) seem to like to not properly label their creations, so I'd had no clue what purpose that item served and couldn't properly organize it.
To date, I'd had 13 GBs of stuff originally before the sweep, and now I'm almost at 8 GBs.
Spring cleaning never felt so good.
I've also gotten to changing my default skins and eyes. I liked the old eyes enough, but when it came down to the sweep, it was obvious that they were going to get swept up into deletion. However, the geniuses at Mod The Sims (where I'd found them) decided they were going to do maintenance this past weekend. So I got the new eyes at Garden of Shadows and I find I'm actually liking them.
The Louis skins that I'd been using for the S1-S4 skins weren't doing it for me anymore. I'm tired of the belly rings on the women, as I can't get rid of them at all without tweaks that I have no clue as to how to do, and I intend for my next Sims 2 story (after Mikhailachev Manor) to take place in a time when such a thing would be considered "scandalous" in the West. :p It just wouldn't make sense.
But then I found these once Mod The Sims was back up, and I am really liking them thus far. I can't wait to see how they look under the vampire overlay that I use.
I also updated the default zombie skin. It's still by the same creator as before, but a newer version of the skin.
My alien skin has not changed if only to a) maintain consistency, and b) because Bogdan is positively gorgeous with it. Ivan too (though Bogdan looks better because of his blue eyes and I'm sticking to that opinion so nyaah :P~~).
Speaking of Mikhailachev Manor, I have an announcement to make on that when I'm not about to fall asleep on my keyboard.
