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

Ever since I discovered sites like Garden of Shadows, it's been nearly impossible to stay under 2 GB. I need to be more picky with the stuff I download from now on.

I'm trying to stick with stuff that either completes Maxis sets or that borrows their textures from Maxis/Holy Simoly sets. That way, I get more variety without increasing the size of my Downloads folder too much. I had that kitchen for a while, but I never used it. So I ended up deleting it. I now abuse the one from K&B or Freetime.

Clothes, and especially clutter are my issues too.

Thanks for your help! :)
