6.75 GB with 2,405 Files and 35 Folders. I'm amazed that my game still runs (somewhat) lag free, lmao.
I can not play the Sims without mods, so I've literally never played a CC version of the game. Yes, I downloaded mods *before* I even went out and bought the game. With the Sims 3, it was the same. My Mod folder was only 2GB though, and the game was basically unplayable. I just used it to pose sims and take pictures, for the most part. I was pretty much expecting to do the same for the Sims 4, but my game actually runs fine on my little trash laptop.
I guess my computer couldn't handle the open world aspect of the Sims 3. But now I'm playing this game of, "how much CC could I download before my game starts to have some trouble."
