Do you organize your mod folder?I was complaining to my friend about how I lost some of my CC because I didn't properly back it up when I decided to download a new Mod folder organizer today. She seemed very confused, and apparently, some people don't organize it and "just put it in the folder" because "that's what the folder itself is for, its a waste of time" and " not going to look at my Mods folder and say 'oo, this could use some cleaning up"So, how about you? Do you have a Mods folder organizer? Why or why not?

For me it's the easiest way: folders are sorted in alphabetical order and it's convenient, and when I want to see what was updated and what was not, I sort folders by date.CC is sorted by categories (hair, makeup, etc), but I don't have a lot of it.

When I started off with mods/cc, I initally just threw stuff in the folder together, but very quickly saw how this could get way out of control.My mods folder now has over 20 sub-folders inside sorting everything by either creator or category (or both). It makes it way easier to find items if something is causing a problem or requires an update.

My mods folder is somewhat sorted, but I actually regret sorting it! It makes it harder for me to tell when I have duplicate cc items. And I just use the Sims 4 Tray Importer when I need to remove items from my game.

I didn't at first, but now I do..

I definitely organise my mod folder. Though I think my organisation is not as meticulous as I'd like it to be. I have 12.9GB cc/mods with only 59 folders.

I stick to the one folder deep rule, even for things that probably don't need to. Larger collections have their own folders with the creators' names, others are categorised into script mods, CC items, CAS, skins, and so on.

I would go crazy if I didn't have them sorted.

Mine are somewhat sorted just with the creator's name in the title. But I thought you couldn't make subfolders to further organize mods?
For example: Mods > Creator or type (build, gameplay, cc, etc.) > and then the mods.

I wasnt even sure if the mods would still work if in a subfolder, but now that I know I def will be organizing them

Ohh, I guess CC and mods without ts4script files can be placed in multiple subfolders deep? Great to know!
