I'd love to be able to dl more than 1 gig but my computer, which is about 8 years old, will start to protest...longer loading screens and more of a lag that I noticed so I see all this lovely cc I would love to have and can't. My desktop could handle Sims 3 and cc totally more than 2-3 gigs so I'm stumped. Oh well, it teaches me control and organization, lol.

> Yeah, starting point is generally around $1500 US. If you are lucky you can get one for less during a Black Friday sale like I did on mine 2 years ago (35 GB in my mods folder, and I have an NVIDIA GTX 970 video card with 4GB dedicated video RAM, system memory is 16GB RAM).

mine was $500 AUD ON SALE and handles 12gb cc and no lag, starting up the game takes a few minutes but thats all :)

Wow from my original post I went from 12 gigs to 18.3. I think I need a 12 step program.

Oh girl, I don't know how your computer can handle it.
Mine shrunk from over 300mb to 201mb.

I literally have like 2 hairstyles, and some makeup but that's it. I like to keep my game as cc free as possible because im worried about it breaking lol. then again im also a relatively new player to the sims so i kind of just learned how to download cc and let's just say im starting to get obsessed

8.44GB, 3,847 files

i'm a cc hoarder

It isn't my computer that can't handle it...my (2nd) hard drive is starting to get full - and it is a 2 TB HDD. The first hard drive is only 225 GB but it is a solid state drive. My third hard drive (yes, I have 3 in my computer) is about 120 GB. Part of that is I have about 58 games in my Steam library. Yes, I have a gaming computer - bought it just 2 years ago for about $1500 (though it was about $1200 on Black Friday sale). It has 16 GB RAM, though now only about 12 of it works properly it is still well over the required specs for the game, a 4 GHz processor, and a GeForce GTX 970 video card - so it just meets the specs to work with VR games, though I only have one VR capable game installed (I don't own a VR headset). The video card and RAM and CPU speed really make the difference. I wouldn't dare run all this CC on my laptop I got about 5 years ago that has integrated graphics - that one might run Sims 4 without any CC in laptop mode, but it barely ran Sims 3 (did not actually meet the specs for it) at 11 fps (after a blank black screen for about 120 seconds) - I'm patient, having run games from cassette on the VIC-20 years ago that literally took 5 minutes to load, and all you saw was the words LOADING... with no progress bar or change to tell you it was still loading (this was in the 1980s, before Windows, and before the loading hourglass was even common).

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."

I can't edit my post, but I meant to say I've never played a CC-free version of the game, if that wasn't clear.
