CC in subfolders?

Thanks for the info and the heads up. I guess this means I need to get organised before I go on a CC spree as I'm infamous for reorganising my downloads :lol: Starting with mods and cc careers! And looking for body freckles :love:

Glad to help and glad to see you being happy. :) Happy simming and happy shopping spree. Found a new MM CC toddler hair on modthesims that will be nice for a female toddler with long hair (The braid one).

You can like someone else said, but be careful not to have too many sub-sub folders xD I know you can have a sub folder, but sometimes when you have too many sub folders inside a sub folder the cc doesn't show in your game...I hope that makes sense

You may want to keep script mods outside of sub-folders as well. I've found that they don't like to work if they're in sub-folders.

This. It's only CC that you want in subfolders. Leave the rest in the main folder. But you can go about 4 or 5 folders deep.

Another CC tip! Rename files so there's only numbers and letters, maybe the underscore. It speeds game performance noticeably.

Thanks you guys, I had scripts in subfolders :confounded: moving them out now! But not sure, I see .py and .ts4script and .package for mods, can I keep the mods with .package in subfolders and should the .py and .ts4scripts be moved to the main folder?

@luthienrising - this is so true! The special chars and spaces affects TS2 game performance as well.

I'll stick to 2 subfolders max: Category (s1) > CreatorName-PackageName (s2) > Files

example: cas > mts_kisafayd-darker_freckles > *.package

From what I'm hearing this won't be an issue, yes?

Nope, from what I've heard, using subfolders doesn't cause any lag or anything, and you're way above the max nesting there :)

I'm not sure which .package files can get nested, so I just go by what a mod does. I do CC = subfolder, everything else = not. Saves thinking harder :)

Is it possible to change the name of the scripts so that they can be organised?

For example, I have a script date_and_time.py. In a week from now I will have no idea what this means or who the creator is :confounded: Would it be possible to rename this script to mod_creatorName_slowTime.py?

Also another tip, don't rename scripts, you can freely rename packeage files, but leave the scripts alone and place them in the main folder.
Also don't make too many sub-folder, heard its not a particular good idea.

Thanks. Won't rename them. I reckon if I go crazy with CC the way I do with TS4 I'm going to need a database to keep track of my content.
