Downloaded a recolor, and I fell off the wagon. Now, I'm rapidly catching up to the amount of CC I had before (1000+). I'm trying to limit myself to "maxis match" items this time and make sure I disable (most) of them for random sims, at least. :lol:
This reminds me of the CC overhaul I'm currently in the middle of. I deleted everything and started over with a fresh batch of CC and some oldies. At first it seemed daunting but I'm actually enjoying the process.
I do this every few months or so. I really like going completely fresh with the CC. You find new stuff that way I generally don't take out any skin details like skins or freckles or my eyes but I clean out all the rest of the CAS & Build Buy and start completely fresh. The last time I even took out my tray file and save files and started from a fully complete slate. It really helped completely freshen up my head space where the game is concerned and could start fresh. I don't think I'd go that extreme again at least not anytime soon since I'm enjoying all my current saves. My current save relies on a LOT of CC (it's a Berry save) so I can't see myself clean slating anytime soon but maybe once that save is over I'll do it again because I really enjoy it.
It's interesting because each time I clear out my CC folder and start fresh I tend to focus on different things. This time my collecting is definitely focused more on Hair and Clothing while the last time I was more after Build/Buy stuff the time before that was more accessories and makeup. I only rarely re-add stuff from the previous time though there are a few hairs out there that I just love and pretty much make their way back into the pile every single time. Guess I just can't live without them lol.
That's what I do, too. I remove out the saves, too. Basically, each family I've played would have its own rather large CC folder .. I didn't really notice it coincided with a schedule until you mentioned it. It's about the same for me. Problem is, at least for me, it can be a bit daunting returning to the older saves considering I'd have to weed out CC and update/possibly remove script mods all over again to make the save playable.
It's funny you say that. By Berry you mean the unnatural skin colors, right? I
just downloaded those skintones and was thinking about starting over again (even though I *JUST* did) by basically removing some of the items that didn't fit the theme and focusing on getting and making more pastel items.
