how much space to leave on a ssd?

Oh, yes, I think some of the points on the list are important and interesting too. :)

Nevermind

Hello @ZeeGee
No one is throwing shade on anyone. :)

Appreciate the support, but I claim no special status here and don't wish to be the focus of discussion on this message thread. I believe the focus should be on the player's SSDs and their concern about drive space usage.

guys its fine its fine im good now but thanks for ur help. i decided to just keep the sims 3 on my ssd and sims 4 on my hdd although the load times suck ill stilll live its not bad but thanks!

Just exactly what is the benefit from running the game at the ssd, as it is I run from hhd and it works fine performance wise.
The only strange thing is that it consumes a lot, processor, ram and power (making my cooler work hard sometimes), strange for a relative old game.

@Tamijo - SSDs provide much faster disc read/writes than HDDs. The elements of TS3 that require intense read/writes are the ones that benefit -- game session starts, saves, travel transitions, CAS, Build/Buy, and Pattern (CASt) catalog building, and anything involving caching. Actual gameplay runs from what is already loaded into RAM and won't feel much different either way.

Thanks a lot - have a fast system but either way I might try, as the builder can sometimes be a bit unstable
