De-Plumifying My CC
Lesson: Do Not Go On Too Many CC-Collecting Missions Without Organizing Your CC Folders Beforehand. All my games are developing "lag and crash" problems. The problem with having gone on too man...

With my deleting a lot of Sims 3 stuff that took up a ton of space and reducing my mods folder down to about...1.18GB...(yes, I deleted a lot of stuff. Now I'll have to figure out my folders so that I'm going to be able to organize and convert a lot of stuff that I newly find and from now on, I'm going to "save file" when I go to the Sims 3 Store. I know that I'm going to have to do a lot of re-downloading, because I've deleted a lot of stuff...and went as bare as I possibly can.
My backup file folders look like this: Practically EMPTY of stuff...because I'm keeping my backup packages on my back-up mods folder, which I will copy and paste to the mods folder in my game.

At least then I can just copy-paste it in and change the title of the folder to "mods".

The "Sims3Packs to Packages" folder is the folder that I drop all my extracted .packages files from the extractor program that I utilize. The Sims3packs only stay on the computer long enough for me to drop them into my Mods folder.

The maximum that I've been doing is...Desktop\Haruo\Sims 3 CC\Backup Mods Folder\Packages\CAS\Hair\WINGS which I suppose is only about three deep. I think the maximum recommended is four (before you start running into problems)?

This one will do for now.
Thanks to igazor for the tip... ;)
