Thank you very much. I decided to start a new EA folder and redo all my downloads. I always wind up with too much and some surprising high poly things you wouldn't expect. If a Sim wears that or uses that daily yeah, that memory goes to over a billion then a shut down from game in (my case) and wearing out my CPU. Thank you for the information about the subfolders. While sorting stuff I saw I have cc in folders (so I can find them easily) but inside those folder are more folders and more folders (done by how the creators zipped their files) so yeah, it's more than one level deep. And I bet I really don't need fifty or sixty recolors of a window frame etc. Creators are great but yes, I have some huge files. lol
Yes I saw some stuff with special characters etc. And was shocked to see some of the male sideburns I had downloaed a few years ago for a character was over 5,000...I don't think he should be wearin that everyday, right? that's high poly and I wouldn't expect a sideburn (small) to be a much as some special cc hair for a female. Yep, I also shouldn't be letting high poly hair into the game everyday if my machine is starting to struggle with all these huge files.
Thank you so much for clearing up some myths and I guess I go search for what cc is ten files deep, because yes, I have some. It's hard to load CAS now, and or use it during gameplay or sort through build and buy without the machine struggling to meet the memory demand though my card as 2GBs and I have 8GBs of RAM installed, but it jumps way up to over a billion kbs in use in memory. Oops, I did it again. :p
