simgaroopSo 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

Date: 2009-04-10 01:56 am (UTC)Never again will I not know what's in my game.
All of the stuff I have right now is from the maxis match wcifsims weekly lists, but I'm slowly adding more. I'm sticking to maxis recolors, completer sets, and maxis match in general. I'm being really strict about the stuff I do download from now on; if it doesn't get used by a week after I download it, it's gone. And I'm no longer downloading pretty things that will never be used more than once or twice, if at all.

Date: 2009-04-10 05:45 am (UTC)I shall follow that strategy too. I often forgot the stuff I downloaded in the first place. Especially if it's random clutter or fancy recolors that require me to search through my whole buy catalog if I want my room to look like the original pic at the site.
Keeping a picture is a great idea :).
