CC purge, really?

[katu_sims]

Well, I'm doing it. Finally

I do that too. I sort all my CC by creators/websites, then into male/female if necessary, and sometimes I'll have more subfolders. Something that I find really helpful is saving the preview pictures inside the CC folders, because sometimes reading "Raon Male Hair #30" just isn't enough :P

Just my two cents, in case you don't do that already ^^

[katu_sims]

Yeah, I've been thinking about that...but I figure at worst, I can just check the website, or the tooltip of the item. I haven't decided yet whether or not to do that. I all ready have done it with all of my alternate skin/eye defaults, in case I want to change. :D

Thanks!

Oh man, deleting all the cc I had was the best thing I ever did. Of course, when I got NEW stuff, I didn't organize it at all...

Good luck!

[katu_sims]

I think I'm gonna actually end up with more stuff than I started with, lol. >.> But at least it will be organised, so that when I get sick of a particular item, all I have to do is find the folder and delete that! :D I'm pretty sure that right now I have 54328954356784 different files that are recolours of meshes I don't have anymore and stuff.

Your downloads folder must be ten times the size of mine XD At least you'll get everything cleaned up all nice!

[katu_sims]

It's actually not too bad, compared to some...it was like 2.5GB or something. lol.

I wish I had the courage to do that. Lately, I've been using BS to delete everything that takes me more than 5 seconds to decide if I like it. Mostly because clothing and genetics make up more than half of my downloads folder, which currently weighs in at 5 gigs. My game can't take it. :(

[katu_sims]

Right now, uncompressed, my downloads folder is like 1.13GB. But that's because I haven't gotten to the furniture part yet. >.>

Yeah, I had been deleting stuff with BS ("If I don't DEFINITELY want it, then I definitely DON'T want it!"), but it doesn't delete the mesh file if you delete all recolours of a hair, and also just takes forever.

It took me ages to build up the courage to do this, too. But it's nice.

:3 I do this every so often. I've done it A LOT in the past week because I can't play Sims and I keep changing my mind. I have no idea what's in my downloads folder at this moment xD

[katu_sims]

I'm just worried for when I finally load my lots back up. >.< There's going to be cloned-from objects and blue flashies everywhere! D:

[pizza_assassin]

Good luck!

I just did a mini-purge and so far nothing I desperately need has turned up missing. Your way sounds infinitely smarter.

[katu_sims]

It's smarter...but it also kind of ties me down a little, if that makes any sense. Like, part of me goes, "Well, why not just keep the whole folder, rather than re-download everything?"

Which kind of defeats the purpose. I want to make sure I ONLY have what I want, no spare stuff. lol.

[pizza_assassin]

That makes total sense. Plus, I know I'd end up downloading a ton of stuff while I was looking for the stuff I already had.

Logging in is generally helpful. :P
