How Big is Your Mods Folder?
Hi, simmers! I'm finally getting somewhere with upgrading my laptop, but because of my budget I'm sacrificing storage space for ram. So, I was checking to see how much space my Mods folder takes up...

Mine is only 2.2 GB. 2 GB of that is regular CC and only 0.2 is actual mods. CC is what takes the most space, because it has all those art assets in it.
Art, animation and sound are the space hogs as far as as hard drive storage. Mods themselves which are just tuning or script mods won't take much space at all.
If you use a lot of CC and don't already do it, you may want to take some time to learn how to merge things. It saves space on the drive. I used to do this a LOT back in the TS2 era, when I also was more strapped for drive space (not to mention it made a huge difference in load times). I know it's still a thing you can do in TS4.
The other nice thing about taking the time to make merged cc packages is that it encourages you to ask "do I really like this cc enough to take the time?" which helps mitigate that urge just to download anything and everything you think you like even if you may never use it.
Snap :) Mine is bang on 2.2 GB as well.
Sims Studio CC browser is a god send. You can view/edit/delete all your CC visually. Occasionally I will go through and vape what I thought was good, but turns out that it isn't quite right for me.
