Height
Can changing a Sim’s height please be a thing?
Forum Discussion
Right, but you specifically said:
"My Sims 4 folder contains round about 10 GB. almost 1.5 GB is custom music and over 2.2 GB of the space is taken up by al sorts of mods and scripting etc. That boils down to 6.3 GB for all the Sims 4 expansion packs etc."
What is the relevance to packs in that statement? How do they make the Sims 4 folder larger? Sure they make the installed game bigger, that goes without saying. But you have just broken down that 6.3 GB and confirmed that your Saves folder takes up the bulk of it (5.2 GB) because of your gameplay style. That's not the packs adding more to the folder, it's you.
I'm not steering away from the height adjustment discussion, but I am asking for clarification on the above statement because it is relevant to hard disk space and apparent confusion as to what the user's Sims 4 folder contains.
Exactly how much more CPU and RAM do you think a machine will need to deal with different height sims wandering around? Or the ability to change height in CAS with a slider? Have you run performance tests with CC height sliders vs none?
Sorry @Bluebellflora for the late answer but sometimes family matters need more attention than gaming or discussing/debating about it.
Just before Christmas last year my old pc broke down (motherboard failure) after some 5 years of heavy duty and hard gaming. On that pc the difference was round about 0.3 to 0.5 % extra use of CPU using two different types of height sliders against using none. Unfortunately i have no proof of it because those results were not recorded and i didn't test is on my new pc yet. But when i feel like it i might do it again just for the fun of it.
I guess the difference now will be even slightly less on my new pc because my last one had an i7 processor.
But as you might have seen in my earlier posts even with a i9 processor, the game uses already about 22% of CPU. I gather that with some lesser processors it will use up significantly more. How much more i don't know. But when you compare an i3 to an i9, I dare to say that an i3 will use up to 60% of its CPU and will heat up very quick.
The game uses round about 5 GB of RAM at the moment I took the screenshots to attach to my earlier post. This is including the two height sliders.
As @RandomBuzziness wrote the sliders use approximately 3 to 5 kb on harddisk space but i still think it might way through when the processor has to compute it for all the 120 Sims I play with. But than again, that is my way of gaming.
Thanks you @Psychotps for your edit! I also use mods (about 1.500) and animations (i really lost count how much but it is about 800 Mb) and as i already wrote it ads up to about 2.2 GB.
I still agree with @Ashleyc1144 so i just keep the Me Too and I very much like the suggestion of @BabiGrim that it would be nice to have more height differences when EA eventually launches The Sims 5.
I will end with a plea that i would also love to see the possibility of creating a kind of dissimilarity in a Sims face to make it look even more lifelike than it does now.
