Bare necessities :P

So I was looking at my downloads folder and realized I had 1.87 Gb of stuff in one of my subfolders.

And that's just my "objects folder"!!!

WTF?! No wonder my game takes forever to load lately.

So, in an abrupt movement, I deleted all my stuff. No more 80000 clutter files and a gazillion wall recolors I never use.

Good thing I was anal retentive enough to keep the CC for my two lots apart, otherwise they'd be completely screwed up now.

So now, I ask you, my fellow simmers who have managed to keep your downloads folder in a manageable, tiny size: Which are the basic buy and build stuff you have? I think I'll get some Holy Simoly stuff and a few recolors. And that's it, but I'm probably missing something.

So... which are your (Maxis Match, preferably) must haves?

When I'm done with that, I'm going to nuke my clothing folder. But the fact of having to play detective with all those meshes is a huge turn off. Meh, I'm lazy. I can live with the 1.70 Gb of clothes for now... :S

Wow! That's a lot of CC. I think my downloads file is 1.5 Gb total. My game is slow enough as it is.

I blame the time I made my posters. I downloaded a lot of specific stuff to build the fantasy settings, plus all the costumes. And I never really cleaned all that stuff out.

I want to go back to under 2 Gb. As soon as I finish my planned hair retextures, I'm also deleting any other non-Maxis match files I may have, to reduce the load for my poor laptop.

At least you get awesome stuff from all your stuff:) I just get lag.
